Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2006Edy's Grand Ice Cream no longer available?
Noticed yesterday that the supermarket here in NJ that always carried Edy's Grand Carb Benefit line of ice cream no longer has it. I think this was sold by the same company that makes Dreyer's that;s available in other areas. Wondering if it's being discontinued. Anyway, anyone else notice either of these going missing? > Noticed yesterday that the supermarket here in NJ that always carried > Edy's Grand Carb Benefit line of ice cream no longer has it.

I'm in NY and there's never been an Edie's carb benefit, just Edie's no sugar added. I've found that some of the regular Edie's ice creams (coffee, mint choc chip) are almost as low carb as the no sugar added stuff. Have you tried Turkey Hill Carb IQ? It's excellent taste and texture. Susan > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Susan I've tried TH, and it's my last choice. I didn't think the taste was that good and whatever SA they put in it, it's the only one that gives me digestive issues. The Edy's IMO is the best tasting. Breyer's is OK too. The Ben & Jerry's were awful, but they quit awhile ago. > I've tried TH, and it's my last choice.

The Ben & Jerry's were awful, but they quit awhile ago. And I think the Breyer's is the absolute worst for flavor and that awful texture. Just goes to show how tastes differ. I've never had gastric reactions to SA's, and I eat ice cream about a couple of times per month, so it's NBD for me. I agree that Edie's is very good.

I've never even seen it..... Blue Bunny low carb is decent. I only indulge in a small amount 2 or 3 times per year tho'. I don't like to awaken my sweet tooth. ;-)  SignaturePeace, Om.

I don't know about Edy's, but I can suggest a better alternative. Go to WalMart and buy a snow-cone machine for about $20. You can make snow cones or shaved ice from ice cubes in 15 seconds. And buy some Davinci or Torani SF syrups. (you can get them a number of places online, I just bought a case of twelve 750ml bottles for $57, more than a six months supply for me). These syrups are sweetened with Splenda rather than the SA crap in the "low-carb" ice cream. I find that these snow cones and/or flavored shaved ices satisfy the cold/sweet tooth even better than ice cream does, and they have virtually zero calories and carbohydrates. A you can eat a second one if you want to without feeling guilty like you do with the ice cream!

Well, that's the problem...some folks like the guilt that comes after eating ice cream. Or, maybe they just like the ice cream! Six is one, half dozen the other. :) > Well, that's the problem...some folks like the guilt that comes after eating > ice cream. Or, maybe they just like the ice cream! Six is one, half dozen > the other. :) I doubt if I eat it even once per month. I've given up too many vices to feel guilty over an occasional ice cream. :-) Susan > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Susan And an important factor is how much you eat. I usually use a scoop with something like strawberries or blueberries. BTW, I now have some Turkey Hill Peanut Butter Cup sitting in the fridge. If I wind up running to the bathroom, its gonna be all your fault. :) > BTW, I now have some Turkey Hill Peanut Butter Cup sitting in the > fridge.

BTW, walk, don't run. ;-) Susan :: x-no-archive: yes :: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] :: :: BTW, walk, don't run. ;-) Running burns more calories! :) > :: x-no-archive: yes > :: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Running burns more calories! :) I think he may need a tad longer running track than the one from couch to potty. ;-P Susan :: x-no-archive: yes :: [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] :: I think he may need a tad longer running track than the one from :: couch to potty. ;-P Eat more, run more! In California, the Dreyer's Carb Benefit has disappeared at Safeway, and there are just a few left at Albertson's. Recently, the ice cream was old and stale. Opening the carton I would find that it had shrunk down an inch from the top of the carton, the surface was dryish and gooey, and the ice cream had a crunchiness to it. > Noticed yesterday that the supermarket here in NJ that always carried > Edy's Grand Carb Benefit line of ice cream no longer has it.

But you ate it anyway. ::: In California, the Dreyer's Carb Benefit has disappeared at ::: Safeway, and there are just a few left at Albertson's.

Microwaving the servings in the bowls helped reduce the crunchiness. > > In California, the Dreyer's Carb Benefit has disappeared at Safeway, and > > there are just a few left at Albertson's.
