Giveaway & Review: Better-For-You Popsicles & Ice Cream Sandwiches (5 Winners) [CLOSED]

Every mom knows that the snacks which are convenient to offer our children are also convenient for us to grab when we need something quick. Popsicle brand ice cream treats has recently confirmed this in a mom survey. That is why their lines of reduced calorie and low-fat products contain more variety than ever.

I have to admit, I use to be a person who refused to go near any food products that even hinted at being low-fat, reduced calorie, or even sugar-free. Now at age 36 and as a mother of 3, I finally have to admit that I am not longer that size 1 college student who could eat anything I wanted and still felt and looked healthy. While my children are still young, it will be easy for me to switch to better-for-you snacks. There are many foods they have not even tried yet, so they will never know the difference.

Fudgsicles are something I remember eating since grade school. They are a perfect example of something my 6 year old had never tried before. That is until I presented him with one of these low-fat Fudgsicles.


Can you tell by this photo whether our son enjoyed his first Fudgsicle experience?


(One suggestion I have for this product . . . it would be helpful to put the flavor on the wrappers when there are 3 varieties in a box. It was easy to distinguish the white chocolate because I could still see the color through the opaque wrapper, but it was impossible to tell which ones were milk chocolate and which were dark.)

Let's move onto my and my husband's experiences with the 100 calorie Klondike Ice Cream Sandwiches. Having sampled 100 calorie snacks of different types from a wide variety of brands, I think neither of us had any aversions to trying this Klondike product.

I personally could not tell the difference between this better-for-you ice cream sandwich and a regular one. Since ice cream sandwiches are one of my husband's favorite warm weather treats, I highly depended on his opinion. He said that this product, although it was not overly rich, tasted very good. We both agreed that it is something we would certainly purchase and keep handy in our freezer.


You should be able to find better-for-you Popsicle, Fudgsicle, and Klondike ice cream products in your grocer's freezer section. To keep up with the latest ice cream news, you can find Popsicle on Twitter, Klondike on Twitter, and Klondike on Facebook.
