I tried the Chocolate and liked it well enough. It was a decent
chocolate flavor - not wonderful, but good enough that I went back to
buy another half gallon this week. The local Smith's was all out of
it in one week - now I'll be hunting the grocery store shelves....
Has anyone found it at Walmart yet?

Yep, last week (Super Wal-Mart in Salem, NH).

hehe. I MAY be able to get there next Saturday after I go to a
conference in Nashua. Don't clean the store out you guys. If I
am REALLY lucky, I'll also be able to get to Amherst, NH, but I am
afraid the store there may close before I can get there.

I was at my local HEB grocery store in Round Rock, TX and I saw a guy

He even had on a Breyers shirt. So I asked when that store would be
getting the new low carb ice cream and he had no idea that they were
making low carb ice cream!

It's already in WalMart, at least at the new one Georgetown. I expect
it would be in the Round Rock one. It only came in within the last
two weeks or so.


I found it this weekend at the local Shoprite here in NJ. This solves
the ice cream problem once and all for me. No more making it from
mixes, or expensive Atkins ready made.

I tried the chocolate and it's excellent, just like real ice cream!
The also had vanilla and strawberry. And it's $5 for a half gallon!
I ate quite a bit and had no gastric issues with the sugar alcohols.

This is really great. What we need are more products like this so
that we have really good LC alternatives at reasonable prices.

While I love ice cream, I'm not so sure that I want to go buying a quart or
half gallon of ice cream, even if it is low carb. Even a pint would mean
that I'd eat the whole thing. I think I'd rather go to a local "real" ice
cream store and get one or two scoops. I get my fill of it, I go home and
don't have another 1,000 calories in the freezer calling my name. I made
Myra's cheesecake, and I ate way too much. Each piece had about 500
calories, and they were very small pieces. I might continue to make my own
ice cream, and package it in small containers (which are kept in the
freezer in the basement). Now, I live with roommates, who eat all the ice
cream. When I move out by myself, I'll have to have some method of not
eating too much.

I'd guess that the Amherst Super Wal-mart would be closer to Nashua than
the Salem one would be. (I've never been to the Amherst one, so I don't
know their hours, but the Salem one is open 24 hours.)

And right down the street from the Amherst one is a store called Low-Carb
Heaven -- you might be interested in that. It's kind of expensive, but
worth browsing around in.

Hey! I didn't even know there was a Super-Walmart in Amherst!
That's even better, since I want to try to get to Low-Carb
Heaven. I wonder what THEIR hours are.

Ooooooh. Thank you so much! When I typed Low Carb Heaven into
Netscape, it did not come up with the url. (And I forgot to try
it as a .com.) I hope I can get out of the conference and there
ere it closes!!!!

There you go, counting calories instead of carbs. Tsk. Tsk.

Well, then buy the LC ice cream, eat two scoops, and leave it in your
freezer where your roommates will polish it off.
This stuff sounds great to me. FINALLY, an NSA ice cream that is full
fat.

Has anyone from the NG bought the CARB SMART ice cream in TN? I am having
difficulty finding low-carb products in this state. I guess I got spoiled
in Michigan. To everyone who has tasted the ice cream, does it compare to
regular Breyers Ice Cream?

I haven't had regular Breyers in a long time, so I can't compare it.
I can tell you that the Carb Smart version is excellent. Rich,
creamy, smooth, by far the best LC ice cream. If you didn't know it
was LC, you would never be able to tell.
