The peppermint extract is far too aggressive, and begins the bite on an already unpleasant note, which then unfortunately finishes with the same off-putting stevia flavor as the vanilla.
I’ll give Breyers some credit for having much more significantly sized chocolate chips than their competitors, but that’s the end of the compliments for this flavor as well. Opening up the mint carton is similarly un-cute but marginally better – with more notable smoothness and less weird spikes jumping out at me. This is not good, and I don’t recommend it at all. Adding some strawberries and whipped cream to the equation helped alleviate a bit of the bad taste, but I don’t want to start my sundae with something I feel the urge to cover up. The base flavor is only mildly sweet, less sweet than Enlightened’s, and doesn’t have any of the great true vanilla bean flavor of Halo Top’s. The stevia creates an astringent, off-putting finish that makes this without a doubt one of the worst vanilla ice creams – protein, light, or otherwise – I’ve ever had. The ice cream finishes with a really harsh, almost medicinal quality that I initially thought was the result of way too much vanilla extract, but looking at the ingredients it’s pretty obvious it’s the sweetener they used – stevia. Unfortunately the flavor is about as appealing to my tastebuds as the initial top-popping to my eyes and I’m pretty disappointed. The top is icy and fully separated from the sides of the carton with an odd spiky texture.Īfter giving it a good amount of time to temper, even longer than your average Halo Top or Enlightened, it scoops decently with a smooth and creamy consistency. Opening up the Vanilla Bean it is immediately less visually appealing than all the other protein ice creams I’ve had. They launched with four flavors and I chose to try the two identical flavors that were my favorite from the first Halo line in 2015 – Vanilla Bean and Mint Chip. Their latest release, Breyers Delights, have low sugar, low fat, and 20 grams of protein per pint. After the slow rise and ultimate booming success of Halo Top, who as of July are the best selling grocery ice cream in America, everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon – even big time boys like Breyers. While old school super premium brands are flourishing and there seems to be more new scoop shops popping up every month than I ever thought imaginable, one of the hottest ice cream trends is infusing it with protein and dropping the sugar.
“She’s definitely bougie.Ice cream is hot these days, probably hotter than it’s ever been. Ben & Jerry’s was the most noticeably dense, creamy, and almost chewy of all the ice creams we tried. “I’m getting a whiff of rum,” said Uskokovic. With both the beans and extract, the vanilla flavor tasted spot on lightly floral and toasty but not overpowering. “This might be too rich to pair with a heavy dessert. The flavors, he thought, were “very nicely integrated,” like there wasn’t “too much of any one thing going on.” The only drawback, he thought, was a potential lack of versatility. The taste: After a first bite, Morocco wiggled delightedly in his seat. A dozen Ben & Jerry’s reviewers rated the ice cream 4.8 stars. The ice cream: This iconic brand with sky blue packaging uses eight ingredients, including cream, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla beans and extract, and carrageenan, which binds, thickens, and stabilizes.
