Arctic Zero is very low calorie (only 150 calories per-pint!) developed for Baby Boomers (really anyone can enjoy it, they don't check ID) that allows you to eat ice cream guilt free. It's all natural, low carb, fat free, gluten free, lactose intolerant-friendly and a great source of fiber (8 grams per pint).
Yeah, I know what you're thinking. With all of this good stuff, there's no way it could taste good, too. You're right, it doesn't taste good. It TASTES GREAT! And you want to know the kicker? The 150-calories-per-pint is a terrific draw, but if you just want a typical after-dinner serving - ½ cup - it's only 37 Calories. That's enough to cure your ice cream cravings and keep your waistline from getting its own ZIP Code.
Arctic Zero
What I like about it
It comes in tons of great flavors: chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, coffee, cookies & cream, mint chocolate cookie, strawberry banana and vanilla maple. They also have 85-calorie bars in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and orange dream.
How it tastes
Great! I sampled the 85-calorie bars and the 150-per pint flavors. Each one had "real" ice cream taste and the flavors were rich and satisfying.
Why you should try it
Why wouldn't you? If you like love ice cream, Arctic Zero is the Fridge Find of the decade.
Boomer Brief Says
I can only give it 2 Thumbs Up because that's all the thumbs I have. If I were an octopus with opposable digits, Arctic Zero would be 8 thumbs up!
Where can I get it?

Prepare your own Mexican quick fix with this Chipotle-inspired bowl. Carbs are moderated by filling the bowl with beans, extra veggies and chicken. No need for rice, since the beans count as carbs.
Tips:
If you love tomatoes, increase the quantity to 1/2 cup, but note that the carbohydrates will also increase.
If preparing this recipe for one person, cut all of the ingredients in half. Or simply prepare the full recipe up to the end of step 2 and store leftover chicken and vegetable-bean mixture in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave on High for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through, and continue with step 3.
