Skinny Cow/Slim Cow

Hub came home with a container of the mint chip today (it is mint chip) but I
didn't look at the nutritional info. Hang on and I'll trek down to the basement
(I think he's hiding it from me). .............

Dang, gotta remember to take the reading glasses off BEFORE I hit the stairs. G
Here ya go: 1/2 cup (74g) = 120calories/2.5g fat/3g fiber = 2 points, 4.5 points
per cup. Not too bad in the grand scheme of things.

I'm also not a strawberry icecream fan, think it was the cheesecake in the name
that struck my fancy. G On the carton it appears to be vanilla icecream with a
red swirl in it, so probably more vanilla than strawberry.

I guess I should have mentioned that the points I listed are for the vanilla

(which is very good), is a bit higher in fat, but also higher in fiber. It works
out to 2 points per 1/2 cup (130 cal/2.5g fat/3g fiber), 5 points per cup. So a
bit higher, but not totally out of reach. THIS one I will really be careful with
the quantity.

few grams, I figure it out as to what portion of a cup it is and count it
accordingly. anal me, what can I say 1 cup is only 3.5 points, definitely
doable - and often only half or 1 point more than the icecream sandwiches. How
much I have is really dependent on how many points I have left for the day.

Frozen ice cream doesn't conform easily to a measuring cup. Just
getting it out of the container is a challenge--I'm either breaking
off tiny chunks or grabbing half the carton. So throwing it on the
scale and seeing all those tiny chunks add up without also having to
squeeze it into a cup makes it easy and worry-free.

I only buy one container at a time as I just don't eat it often enough to go
through it very fast. I think the package of fudge bars has been in my freezer
for a couple months now. G

Oh, thanks for treking down those stairs. And I'm glad you did not

Okay, I'm still not buying it YET. I actually have not seen it

I was in another market yesterday - skinny cow sandwiches but not bulk

The carton says 1 serving is half a cup or 74 grams. When I do have some, I
usually have 1 cup (148grams) and put a few T of marischino cherry juice over the
top ... makes me feel like I'm having *something*. If I scoop over or under by a
few grams, I figure it out as to what portion of a cup it is and count it
accordingly. anal me, what can I say 1 cup is only 3.5 points, definitely
doable - and often only half or 1 point more than the icecream sandwiches. How
much I have is really dependent on how many points I have left for the day.

Frozen ice cream doesn't conform easily to a measuring cup. Just
getting it out of the container is a challenge--I'm either breaking
off tiny chunks or grabbing half the carton. So throwing it on the
scale and seeing all those tiny chunks add up without also having to
squeeze it into a cup makes it easy and worry-free.

Frozen ice cream doesn't conform easily to a measuring cup. Just
getting it out of the container is a challenge--I'm either breaking
off tiny chunks or grabbing half the carton. So throwing it on the
scale and seeing all those tiny chunks add up without also having to
squeeze it into a cup makes it easy and worry-free.

The bulk is a bit hard to find in my store, as they don't carry a ton of the
cartons and they are intermixed with all the other cartoned icecreams. So ...
maybe 4 little rows mixed in with dozens and dozens of other brands and flavors.
Doesn't make it easy to find, but I still managed. G Only one of the 2
groceries by me has the bulk containers, so am guessing they are relatively new to
my area.

No icecream for me tonite, no mudslides. But I have a bunch of leftover points.

(which is very good), is a bit higher in fat, but also higher in fiber. It works
out to 2 points per 1/2 cup (130 cal/2.5g fat/3g fiber), 5 points per cup. So a
bit higher, but not totally out of reach. THIS one I will really be careful with
the quantity.

Thanks for all that info. I guess the points for that amount are not
bad at all.

The carton says 1 serving is half a cup or 74 grams. When I do have some, I
usually have 1 cup (148grams) and put a few T of marischino cherry juice over the
top ... makes me feel like I'm having *something*. If I scoop over or under by a
few grams, I figure it out as to what portion of a cup it is and count it
accordingly. anal me, what can I say 1 cup is only 3.5 points, definitely
doable - and often only half or 1 point more than the icecream sandwiches. How
much I have is really dependent on how many points I have left for the day.

So how much by weight do you serve?

It's funny, because the thought of scooping into measuring cups never once entered
my mind. Guess it's that laziness in me ... using measuring cups would have meant
washing an extra dish! LOL Bowl goes right on the scale, icecream into the bowl

... pasta, rice, etc. I found it so much easier to use that scale. I also felt
it was much more accurate. Using measuring cups it was easier to put just that
extra bit in ... using the logic that it still was WITHIN the cup so must be a
cup. G The scale didn't seem to lie ... ounce, gram, whatever ... I KNEW
exactly what I was eating and had to account for every little bit.

Thanks to your suggestion to WEIGH rather than measure my ice cream
portions, I've found it much easier control this now than in the past.
Frozen ice cream doesn't conform easily to a measuring cup. Just
getting it out of the container is a challenge--I'm either breaking
off tiny chunks or grabbing half the carton. So throwing it on the
scale and seeing all those tiny chunks add up without also having to
squeeze it into a cup makes it easy and worry-free.

Just remember to weigh those bulk portions! It is so easy to get carried away,
put a bit more in the bowl than you anticipate. Hub thinks I'm goofy doing this,
but it works for me. I haven't tried any of the icecream other than vanilla, and
I only buy one container at a time as I just don't eat it often enough to go
through it very fast. I think the package of fudge bars has been in my freezer
for a couple months now. G

A skinny cow is a mandatory dessert for me each night. I save my points for
it. We went food shopping earlier and found their ice cream in bulk. Theres
a container (or 2) of Chocolate Peanut butter cookie dough with my name on
it. DH and DD have a bowl of ice cream most evenings (bad habits we've
developed since visiting my mother) so we'll get this the next time we need
ice cream. They already had 2 containers of the *good* stuff in the freezer
so I did not dare bring any more home for fear DH would yell at me again for
filling up the freezer on him g

I do love the fudge bars, have always been my favorite. I keep them in
the
basement though, as they are the one thing that will call my name out a
bit louder
than the other icecream treats. Hmmmmmmm, maybe, just maybe, I'll have to
listen
better tonite. After all, it IS valentine's day. G

Me too. I just love the Skinny Cow Fudge bars. I tried the Smart Ones Ice
cream bars with crumb topping and was disappointed. They were on sale
last
week. Not worth buying again. Back to fudge bars. yummy.

I finally did break down and have one the other night - are very good.
But at
least you do get whatever Dulce De Leche is ... those have never once
been
offered
in my neck of the woods ... anywhere! When we get these new flavors,
they
are
always limited editions. Run for just long enough to get you hooked,
then
disappear forever leaving only chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter and
mint
in their
wake. I've tried some of the smart ones desserts, are not my favorite.
And
peanut butter holds absolutely nothing over me ... I am one of the
wierd
ones that
doesn't care for peanut butter. I want my CHOCOLATE!!! hehehe

S'mores!!!!!!?!?! Oh my pathmark BETTER start stocking them. Getting
Dulce De LEche is near impossible. Thanks of recommending the flavor!

I like the mint choco chip and dulche de leche a lot. i also tried for
the first time the Smart Ones Peanut Butter Sundae cup. Tastes very
good and 2 points.

Depends on which Skinny Cow you get. The vanilla or chocolate
flavored
sandwiches are 2 points. I highly reccomend trying the new smores
flavor.
Excellent.
