A diabetic ice cream that tastes brilliant!

Advantages: Tastes glorious, not too expensive
Disadvantages: None for me I love this

...I will start by saying that, although I am a diabetic, I rarely buy ?diabetic? products as I know from the research done by Diabetes UK that they are generally not worth the money. It is usually better to eat the ?ordinary? equivalent but in moderation. In fact if you eat some diabetic products such as chocolate the sweeteners used in them can have a quite severe laxative effect as I have discovered to my cost! It is much better to eat a generally low fat, low sugar diet with an occasional treat. I have, however, tried vanilla ice cream that has been specially made for diabetics on a couple of occasions and found it to be white, watery, tasteless stuff so when I saw Franks Diabetic Ice Cream in the freezer at Tesco?s I was in two minds whether to even bother trying it to be honest. Anyway Dave suggested that it might be worth a go...

Review of Frank's Ice Cream Diabetic Vanilla

Vanilla ice cream with a difference

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: A little plain

...Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Toffee Crunch ice cream is Vanilla ice cream with choclatey-covered toffee crunch. I bought this product from Asda for £3.25 for 500ml The packaging is a light coloured tub featuring the classic Ben & Jerry's logo with the words Vanilla Toffee crunch underneath and pictures of choclate covered toffee crunch pieces. The tub is filled to the top so you do get value for money. When you open the tub you do get a faint vanilla smell but nothing too strong. The vanila ice cream itself is a nice creamy texture with a good vanilla taste to it. The chocolate toffee pieces are a good size throughout the tub and are quite soft to bite into but still give a nice crunch. The chocolate melts in your mouth leaving the rich toffee flavour in the middle which is lovely and crunchy. The toffee pieces blend perfectly...

Review of Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Toffee Crunch Ice Cream

I scream for ice cream!

Advantages: Tasty, fairly cheap, not to high in calories/fat
Disadvantages: Not very healthy

...I am quite a dessert person! Wheather its a simple vanilla yogurt, or if it's a triple chocolate brownie "delight", i'm happy! When I was young, my favourite dessert used to be something like a chocolate mousse- I used to love when I went to stay with my Auntie and Uncle in Edinburgh, they'd buy luxury belgian chocolate mousses for us, and then chop up mars bars and pop mini peices into the mousse to create a taste explosion! When I started high school I developed a taste for things like strawberry cheesecake and apple pies- I still have that taste to this day, but sometimes I like something a little more plain, and a little less heavy! Last Thursday I had a sudden craving for ice cream in the car, on our way back from the doctors surgery. My mum needed to pop into Asda to get some more Branflakes, so when she wandered off to...

Review of Asda Vanilla Ice Cream Rolls

Ice Cream never had it so good

Advantages: A worthy delight
Disadvantages: Adictive

...Vanilla with pineapple and coconut Although this review is to be about the flavor vanilla, Haagen-Dazs has over 43 flavors and the one that I just finished was not available. Being one of the newer flavors I decided to give it a go non the less. Whenever I shop I usually pick up about three tubs at a time. Yesterday I bought: cherry vanilla, butter pecan and pineapple coconut..Yes I am a Haagen-Dazs junky and proud of it. Heaven in a cup I simply love this ice cream, it was not my intention to write a review about it but since I just polished off a 14 ounce container of this slice of heaven for breakfast I figured why not. Cool, dense and creamy this ice cream dose not have a lot of air whipped into it. Haagen-Dazs value their reputation and only choose to make the best by not skimping on what goes in or the preparation...

Review of Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Ice Cream

At last a diabetic ice cream which tastes good..

Advantages: Competitively priced
Disadvantages: Please ponder The Dilemma

...treat. Low sugar/calorie puddings have been the normal order of the day. Imagine my delight when I spotted an award winning "consumer taste approved" diabetic vanilla ice cream carton lurking in the freezers in my local Asda. The Product The one litre carton has an attractive image of golden creamy melt in the mouth ice cream and retails for £1.88 at Asda. This compares favourably with store's own brand 'Good For You' vanilla Ice cream and costs much less than other premium brands. A good start then since these specialist products tend to command a higher price; so well done Asda. There is really nothing remarkable in the packaging, it's just your standard ice cream box with the usual removable tab on one corner. On opening the ice cream does look like the picture on the box, pale not golden yellow, has a faint whiff of vanilla...

Review of Frank's Ice Cream Diabetic Vanilla

Vanilla Ice Cream - Vanilla Coke - VANILLA CRISPS

Advantages: SEE OP
Disadvantages: SEE OP

...Recently whilst shopping with my family in Asda I was shocked to discover that Walkers had created a new flavour of Monster Munch........ VANILLA ICE CREAM FLAVOUR! My mum asked whether I wanted her to buy them so I could write an opinion for Ciao.... stupidly I said yes. Incase you have never heard of them before Monster Munch is a baked corn snack (packet of crisps) aimed mostly at kids. Over the years Monster Munch has experimented with strange but unique flavours such as Baked Beans and Spaghetti Bolognese. I enjoyed these flavours and bought them regularly. Sadly, I don't think I will be purchasing the Vanilla Ice Cream ones again. The thing that attracted me to the crisps was the strange flavour. I know it sounds weird but I HAD to try the crisps for myself to see if they were nice. I was told about all of the bad...

Review of Walkers Monster Munch Vanilla Ice Cream Flavour

Summertime ice cream

Advantages: Chocolate and ice cream
Disadvantages: None

...Summer summer summertime and that only means one thing, ice cream! I love it when it's hot outside as i now have a good excuse to eat ice cream, as if you really need an excuse, but anyway. One of my favourite ways to eat ice cream is in bar form and in my opinion one of the best ranges around is the range from Magnum! Magnum is an ice cream brand is owned by the British/Dutch Unilever company. They have quite a lot of different flavours that they produce now, including the ones that they have released the last couple of years such as Mayan Mystica, Ecuador Dark and Colombia aroma but I have to say that my favourite is actually the original version, now known as the Magnum classic. The Magnum Classic first came out in 1989 and was just called Magnum but was later rebranded. It can be likened to a choc ice, ie vanilla ice cream covered...

Review of Wall's Magnum Classic Ice Cream

Vanilla ice cream in a bottle

Advantages: new taste, cheap, classic drink
Disadvantages: don't think I will drink it again

...’t buy a bottle where the seal has broken because you know someone has tampered with the bottle. The label is red with the logo “coca cola” in white and the word “vanilla” underneath it in cream. The bottom of the label has the addition of a yellow “swoosh” design which makes it seem more elegant than your normal coke  COLOUR At first I thought the colour of the coke would be a creamy colour like Vanilla ice cream, but I was wrong when I first saw this. It is the normal brown coloured coke with hints of browny-yellow when held against light. SMELL The smell of the drink is a sweet vanilla smell with a hint of fizz when the bubbles go up your nose. The Coca Cola is overpowered by the vanilla aroma so it is hard to detect the coke smell. This drink also has a resemblance to...

Review of Vanilla Coke

Chewy ice cream!!

Advantages: Yummy sweet ice cream taste, Good value
Disadvantages: Has quite a lot of sugar, Hard to get hold of

...mouth. When chewing this sweet it filled my mouth with a yummy, sweet flavour which did definitely taste creamy and did taste of ice cream, which is just how I remember them as a child. Seeing as its ice cream flavour you can taste a vanilla flavour to them which is what probably makes the sweet taste of ice cream so much. The taste of the chewy sweet stays in your mouth for a short while and I am soon craving another one of these tasty sweets. ***OVERALL OPINION*** These are great chewy sweets which are a very different flavour compared to other chewy sweets which are available to buy. They are great value compared to other sweets as well and don?t contain much fat either. The ice cream flavoured Chewits are hard to get hold of and this is the first time I have seen them for years. You can?t buy this flavour as a separate stick...

Review of Chewits Original Ice Cream

Yummy Mars Ice Cream

Advantages: Taste great, good value for money.
Disadvantages: None

...PACKAGING "The things that caught my eye about the packaging where" The peel back lid in the centre which is similar to that of McCain microwave chips and the lid can be resealed.The inviting picture of a Mars bar which looks sort of like it has been cut in half and only half of it is being shown, "revealing all the ingredients inside" including the ice cream and the delicious caramel centre. On the cover it tells you that in the box there are four individually wrapped bars. The part written on top of the picture of the mars ice cream says that its made of "Real Dairy Ice Cream". I also noticed how well designed the box is and that the lid is "very easy" to open. The recognizable mars design that anyone who has ever tried their products will be well acquainted with.The message which says " Real dairy ice cream " and deliciously soft...
