Protein !!

I really like this! The taste was great and I didn't even really taste the protein like the my protein ice cream that I normally buy from Popeye's. Thanks for the opportunity ChickAdvisor to taste this for free! I liked the vanila too!

Sweet, Sweet Vanilla Bean - a true ice cream delight!

First and foremost, this ice cream is DELICIOUS! Although it is on the verge of almost too much vanilla. It really depends on the spoonful. Some were pure bliss while others were pure extract. If you like a hint of vanilla this is not for you. If you absolutely love vanilla then this will surely do it for you. Like I said, I personally thought it was delicious but was also shocked by the intense vanilla and sweetness.

Though there may not be a lot of calorie, using skim milk definitely increases the overall sweetness of this ice cream. Personally, I don't find advertising "280 calories" as intriguing as it's a relatively small container compared to the average Breyers tub. That and it's still ice cream. I guess if you're counting calories, it's nice to know that you can still enjoy this ice cream without compromising your daily intake... Although good luck not eating the entire thing. I also found it a bit strange to mention protein on the packaging. Ice cream is not something I think of when I'm wanting to add protein to my diet, nor do I think about it when trying to be calorie wise. So really, an odd choice in terms of marketing. I don't know who that targets, but I think it's pointless as this is not a health food.

Moving on from the packaging, in total I think there are about 10 standard ice cream scoops in the 500ml tub if you use a regular scoop which, I did as I received both this ice cream and a Breyers scooper complimentary through chick advisor. Maybe I don't have as much self control, but this equated to three servings. That being said, it's SUPER EXPENSIVE.

I received a free product coupon and yet, still had to pay. 50 cents as the coupon only covered up to $7.99 and I found it at Safeway where it was priced at $8.59. Again, yes, it's really delicious ice cream, but unless it's on sale I can't justify paying that much ($8.59) for such a small tub of ice cream. Even the ice cream you find in the "health food" or "natural" section is cheaper. It's also not the most exotic flavor so I was really thrown off by that.

Overall, I genuinely enjoyed Breyer's Delights Vanilla Bean ice cream and would certainly recommend it to any fellow vanilla lovers... but only when it's on sale. $5.99 or less and we're golden!

Good Taste, High Price

I was selected to try BREYERS DELIGHTS VANILLA BEAN in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions and I was so excited because I love Breyers, I love ice cream, and I love guilt free snack options! Breyers is my go to ice cream brand when I’m in the mood for something sweet. The addition of a low calorie, protein added option is awesome and I’ve never seen something like it before!

The ice cream or frozen dairy dessert comes in a 500mL tub which works out to four 1/2 cup servings with 70 calories, 5 g of fibre, 7 g of sugar and 4 g of protein per serving! Ideally I would like to see a lower sugar count per serving but I guess sugar and ice cream is pretty standard and is expected. The ingredients list also notes skim milk, water, cream, artificial sweeteners, sugar, frozen egg yolks, natural vanilla flavors, and a few others I don’t know and can’t pronounce.

The ice cream is really hard upon opening which I actually enjoyed because it didn’t melt right away and was easier to eat. You can actually see the little black specks of what looks like vanilla beans, however vanilla beans was not an ingredient on the ingredient list... I am thinking the black specks might be the “vegetable gums (carob bean)” on the ingredient list?? I have no idea but I don’t think that natural vanilla flavour gives off little black specks.

I actually didn’t enjoy the first bite of the ice cream but I think it was just the difference in texture that threw me off. A few more spoonfuls and it felt and tasted like I was eating a bowl of regular ice cream. The vanilla flavour was nice and the ice cream was still creamy and delicious. I love supporting local and was impressed to see the “ Dairy Farmers of Canada Quality Milk” logo on the tub! I love the addition of the protein to the ice cream and even though I could have sat down and ate the entire tub in one sitting, after a dozen small spoonfuls, I was actually full!

The cons? I found it to have that artificial sweetner aftertaste. I appreciate the efforts in trying to reduce calories and sugar but I still want to be able to enjoy it. While eating it everything tastes fine but after a few minutes reality sinks in and you’re reminded that it is a little too good to be true. If I was watching my weight and needed an alternative to regular ice cream it probably wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me, but as someone who is not in that position I wouldn’t choose this product over a normal ice cream product. Lastly, the price point is very steep. At one store I found it at $6.99 and at another it was $8.79. That is crazy. Unfortunately I would not be willing to spend that much on this product but the fact that it was sold out in one of the stores I went to means that many people are.

I would reccomend this product to those who are looking to satisfy their sweet tooth and lead low sugar, high protein diets and aren’t afraid to pay for it. For someone like me to likes to indulge when that craving hits, I would not reccomend this for you!

Une très bonne crème glacée avec plus de protéines

J'ai testée gratuitement Breyers Delights vanilla Bean. Le goût est semblable à toutes les autres crèmes glacées à la vanille. Pour ce qui est de la texture, elle était plutôt fouettée et légère. Cette crème glacée à la vanille est excellente et en plus, elle contient plus de protéines que demander de mieux.

Perfect healthier ice cream treat!!!

I was so excited to get to try out Breyers Delights for free! I was originally selected to try out the Chocolate flavor, but after not finding it at several stores, I reluctantly bought the Vanilla one... and was pleasantly surprised! I had my mind set on Chocolate, but after enjoying the Vanilla Bean flavor very much, I am now actually glad that I ended up buying this one instead.

It is just perfect. I was VERY impressed with the taste being so much like regular vanilla ice cream, you honestly can't even really tell that it's less calories/less fat/less sugar than normal ice cream. As someone who has lost a lot of weight, and is in the process of still shedding more, I look for these kinds of treats to satisfy my sweet cravings along the way, and this is the best one I've found so far! I look forward to trying the other flavors at some point too.

My only one complaint is the size for the price. Either lower it a couple of dollars, or make it bigger - to make it worth it. I will only really be willing to spend the money on it if/when it goes on sale. $6.99-$7.49 is just way too high for the quantity in my opinion, regardless of how quality it is. And I really loved it!!

Pas mal

J'ai eu la chance de recevoir ce produit contre mon opinion dans le cadre du Product review club et la voici: elle est bonne, avec petit bémol.

Sa texture est belle, légère et très bonne en bouche, son goût est franc et bien détectable. Mon conjoint l'a trouvée juste assez sucrée alors que je l'aurais préférée juste un peu plus sucrée, juste un peu. Mais de façon générale, c'était ok.

Le format cependant est plutôt petit, surtout quand on arrive devant l'étalage et qu'on voit le prix. Personnellement, j'ai fait le saut en titi! Je trouve que oui, elle est de bonne qualité, mais payer aussi cher, non, pas pour moi.

Je recommande tout de même vu sa qualité.

Great Vanilla Flavour!

Thanks to the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club, I was able to try this product for free. For a low calorie product, I was surprised at the level of richness in the Breyers Delight Vanilla Bean, especially seeing that it was mainly made with skim milk. While nowhere as thick and rich as a fuller fat product, I thought this a good option as an everyday treat, where you wouldn't feel guilty for indulging. I liked the vanilla flavour and the fact that I could see vanilla bean specks in the ice cream was great!

I did find that this product is not the easiest to find in stores, so if you are out looking for it, it may take a few tries at the beginning.

Would Like to try the other flavours for sure!

I just tried this and I have to say it was good. Did I find it to be the best ice cream, I have ever tasted? No. But for the amount of calories you expect there to be little or no flavour. This new Breyers delights Vanilla Bean, does well, taste like vanilla ice cream. So it does have that going for it. I'm not much of a vanilla ice cream person, unless I have chocolate syrup covering the majority of it, but I was still happy to have the chance to try this.

Another thing it has going for it is 280 calories per PACK, which is 500mL. I don't count calories but I'm thinking that's not so bad, right? Also it contains 16g of protein per pack as well, if your into that. And then finally it has a logo (so must be true) "Diary Farmers of Canada Quality Milk". Whoop whoop. Lets keep it in Canada.

Price wise for a 500mL, small tube it was around $5. So price compared to other bigger containers, not so great but if you are looking for maybe a slightly healthy alternative then this might work for you. Would I get this again? Probably not this particular flavour, but I wouldn't mind trying Cookies & Cream @ 360 calories, and/or Creamy Chocolate @ 280 calories.

Now another little turn off and this isn't the fault of the actual product itself but I had to go to 4 stores to until I found this, so it may be a hunt if you do decided to give this a go.

Thanks Breyers & Chickadvisor for the opportunity. You can never go wrong with ice cream. I received this product for free in exchange for my review. #gotitfree #LoveBreyersDelights #BreyersDelightsCanada

Good ice cream substitute

I was sent a coupon for this product to review (#gotitfree) from Chick Advisor. This product is pricey for the size, but it's a premium product and aligned with other similar products. I like the appearance, you can see visible vanilla bean pieces. The texture was nice, not icy. It definitely wasn't as creamy as other ice creams but it's better than many "light" ice creams. The vanilla flavour was ok, could have been stronger. The addition of chocolate sauce really made it delicious! Next time I will try cookies and cream. Overall, this product is a great substitute for regular ice cream, without all the calories.

Delicious

Got it free to try! I am a long time fan of Breyers! So, I had high expectations for this ice cream and it did not disappoint. The flavor was on point and the texture was creamy and rich. Loved it and will be trying the other flavors too!
