New in the Market: Arctic Zero Ice Cream Pints and Bars

by Jo-Ann Heslin on July 18, 2011 · 21 comments

We love to try new foods. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.

Arctic Zero is a unique ice cream product available in pints and bars. The pints have fewer than 150 calories per container.

All the flavors – Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Coffee, Cookies & Cream, Mint Chocolate Cookie, Strawberry, and Vanilla Maple – are gluten free, fat free, low in sugar, non-GMO (no genetically modified ingredients), and kosher (Chof-K). The flavors are sweetened with organic cane sugar and organic monk fruit concentrate, a no-calorie sweetener made from a fresh fruit that is 150 times sweeter than sugar.

Depending on the flavor, a ½ cup serving has 37 calories, no fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 6 to 7 grams of carb, 5 to 7 grams of sugar, 3 to 4 grams protein, 2 grams of fiber, and 15 to 95 milligrams of sodium. Pumpkin Spice is the only flavor with 45 calories in a ½ cup serving. We liked the Pumpkin Spice and Coffee flavors best.

This past June Arctic Zero introduced 85 calorie, chocolate-coated ice cream bars in Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Orange Cream. The bars are not fat free, but they are gluten free and sweetened with organic cane sugar and monk fruit concentrate. A 2-ounce bar has 5 grams of total fat (4 grams of which are saturated fat), 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 3 grams of protein, 7 grams of carb, 5 grams of sugar, 1 gram of fiber and 100 milligrams of sodium.

Neither of these products will convert a diehard premium ice cream lover but they are an alternative frozen dessert for those looking to lose weight or eat less fat, or for those following a gluten-free diet.

I am diabetic and this product is a miracle to me. What I tried was great and I experienced NO ill glycemic effects. Outstanding :)
In concurrance with the article, do not expect the product to BE ice cream- it is not. It even says so on each container – “Ice cream substitute”.
However if you are a person who is true to your low glycemic lifestyle, I would highly suggest giving this producy a shot. I liked the coffee flavor :)

I live close to Cape Carteret NC where there is a Lowes Food store. Do they carry Artic Zero Ice Cream products. If not then, where is the closest place that I can find it. My zip code is 28539

I was thrilled to find out that this product is kosher! The kof-k is certainly reliable supervision. My only problem is the price. I paid $4.50 for a pint and this is quite a steep price. Are there any coupons available-I would love to continue buying this ice cream. Thanks and good luck!

Hi-This product is wonderful and I am thrilled that it is kosher-Hooray. The price, though is quite steep as I paid $4.50 for a pint. Perhaps you have coupons to help alleviate the price. Thanks and good luck

I like these, but I like them a lot more with spices. I add cayenne papper to the peanut butter chocolate, or cinnamon to the chocolate. If you like deep, complex flavors this helps a lot!
