Ben & Jerry’s Is Releasing Low-Calorie Ice Cream Just in Time For Spring Break

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at LUC chapter.

Ben & Jerry’s can truly do no wrong and they have proved it (yet again) with their new venture into the low-calorie ice cream market. Other brands have made themselves a household name with their promise of servings of ice cream that are under 200 calories, while Ben & Jerry’s has made their name with delicious ice cream combined with the best mix-ins and sauces. Now the socially aware brand is proving that they can deliver the same great taste we love in low-calorie pints. 

Moo-phoria Light features three new ice cream flavors ranging from 140-160 calories per serving. These flavors still include Ben & Jerry’s “funky chunks and whirly swirls”, but at a fraction of the calorie count. The three new flavors use non-GMO ingredients, organic dairy, Fairtrade certified ingredients, and no sugar alcohols or sugar substitutes. Now you can enjoy your favorite brand without counting calories. Here are the three flavors you can look forward to finding in your nearest grocery store freezer.

1. Chocolate Milk & Cookies

For fans of the Ben & Jerry’s classic chocolate chip cookie dough, this flavor is for you. It features chocolate and vanilla ice cream swirled with chocolate chip cookies. This flavor has the lowest calories of the three flavors with 140 calories per serving. 

2. Caramel Cookie Fix

For your salty and sweet craving, Ben & Jerry’s brings you the caramel cookie fix. The flavor contains vanilla ice cream with salted caramel swirls and shortbread cookies. One serving comes in at 150 calories. 

3. PB Cookie Dough

Last, but definitely not least, is the new pb cookie dough flavor. As a huge fan of The Tonight Dough, this is the flavor I’m most excited about. It’s chocolate ice cream with gobs of chocolate peanut butter cookie dough in it. One serving is just 160 calories.

No matter which flavor you try first, you will not be disappointed. This Ben & Jerry’s launch has confirmed that we are living in a new age of low-calorie delicious ice cream.

If you need me, I'll be eating ice cream. Check out my instaeats: @frostedandfried.
