Summer’s coming, so you may have noticed a ton of new high protein, lower calorie ice creams. The folks from Three Twins Ice Cream asked me if I wanted to try their new high protein, organic, low fat ice cream. Of course, I said “yes!” I don’t eat much dairy, but I do like a few spoons of ice cream as a treat and The Husband is a big ice cream fan.
Why Three Twins? It was founded by a twin whose twin is married to a twin. Got that? Three Twins was born in San Rafael, California in 2005 when Founding Twin Neal Gottlieb set out to craft delicious, affordable ice cream with only organic ingredients. They also give back. In 2011, they created Ice Cream for Acres. This program helps protect rainforest land, sensitive habitats and “other significant spaces.”
Slim Twin is the first and only certified USDA organic low-fat, low-calorie ice cream. Slim Twin is made with a base of real milk, sugar and eggs and contains no added salt, glycerin, stevia or preservatives. Slim Twin has only 240-320 calories per pint—offering a guilt-free treat that will “still fit your macros.”
Slim Twin comes in seven flavors. They are Chocolate, Vanilla, Mint Chip, Lemon Cookie, Cookies and Cream, Coffee and Cardamom. Each pint has 240 to 320 calories.
I found all seven flavors at my local Whole Foods. I tried Mint Chip and Cookies and Cream first. Then, I went back and got Coffee, Cardamom and Lemon Cookie. (I’m not a big Vanilla or Chocolate fan.)
I tried all five flavors and The Husband tried the round 2 flavors. I liked all five and found them creamier than most of the other dairy, low calorie ice creams that are popular now. My favorites were Coffee, Lemon Cookie and Cardamom. The Cardamom was very unique and delicious. It reminded me of something I’ve tried with dessert in a restaurant. It would be perfect with chocolate cake. Of the five, the only one I though tasted “lite” was the Cookies and Cream which was a bit too sweet for me. The Husband said he’d eat all three of the ones he tried. He preferred them to other low calorie ice creams I’ve forced on him we’ve tried. His favorite was the Lemon Cookie, but he said it was “a tough call.” That’s high praise from a guy who can easily take down a pint of premium ice cream.
