The Skinny Cow

≈≈☼≈≈ Time for a Skinny Dip ≈≈☼≈≈ Hot summer sun, cloudless blue sky, don't you just love it? The other day I was thinking how perfect the weather was for a skinny dip and before I knew it, I'd agreed to give it a go. Thursday morning it was to be, this hot weather had better last. My mind began to wander. What would the kids say? I imagined their response. "Mum how could you do that whilst we're at school?" And then I thought what hubby would mutter.. "hmmm darling you'd better get another job, you've obviously too much time on your ... more

I'm rarely moved to write reviews of food products straightaway - I usually think "mmm that was rather nice/quite bland, next time I have one, I'll write a review about it". I'm writing this review typing with one hand, whilst eating this, because it's so amazingly delicious, and I can't believe the nutritional information, that I want to tell you all about it now. So let's moooooove on (sorry, last one I promise). WHAT ARE YOU ALL EXCITED ABOUT NOW, PESKY? Well, this little beauty sitting in my sausage-shaped fingers is an ice cream lolly, made by Silhouette. It's called a Skinny Cow, and is ... more

I'm all for finding low fat snacks and especially deserts and having read the other reviews I couldn't wait to go out and find some Skinny Cow products in my local Asda. This review will concentrate on the "sticks" which were all that were available in the store, although I know there are other products available in the range, including cones and tubs. So, to start, what did I buy? I eagerly searched my nearest Asda for any of the Skinny Cow range and found all 4 of the currently available flavour of "sticks". However I only bought the Chocolate Fudge, Mint Choc Chip and Cookies n Cream ... more

Well, well, well, where to begin with Skinny Cow! I have been on a fairly strict diet for a few months now, and while I mainly fill up on fruits and vegetables and low-calorie snacks like rice cakes, sometimes in the evening I like to sit back and relax with something sweet. Watching your weight can be incredibly boring and disheartening when everyone around you is tucking into a delicious bowl of Ben & Jerry's - their Chocolate-chip Cookie Dough ice cream was my favourite dessert before I started dieting - but luckily, Skinny Cow provides you with a much healthier alternative. The flavour I'm ... more

I would love to be a skinny cow but in my endeavours to become one and my medical necessity for a low fat diet, I came across this delightful range of frozen desserts (you can't call them ice cream because there isn't any cream but it would not go amiss in a cone!). Unlike other "low fat" desserts you don't get the "we've had to add in this chemically produced ingredient to make it acceptable" taste which almost makes you want to eat a spoonful of "proper" ice cream than a whole bowl of lab produced food. And not only do they taste good but the whole range is a masterstroke of marketing as it ... more
