Arctic Zero, to me, is ok but really lacking in flavor. The beauty of it tho is that it's so low in calories (something like 32 cals/half cup), carbs and sugar that you can put nearly anything on it and come out ahead.
So I get the chocolate and nuke a tbsp of peanut butter to drizzle on top and put a big ol' dollop of fat-free whipped cream. And all that still comes out to under 150 cals. So there ya go...

I tried it a couple of weeks ago, and I agree with Nik about the lack of flavor, although with some SF fudge sauce (heated, of course) it was pretty good. (Put enough chocolate sauce on it, though, and even a bowl of brussels sprouts would be good!) I much prefer to take more of a calorie hit (and eat less) of the Breyer's NSA (available in chocolate or vanilla). It occurs to me, though, that since it takes a lot to make me dump and my daily treat is sometimes a spoonful of full-fat, full-sugar strawberry Haagen Dazs or B&J's Chunky Monkey, I am used to things with much more flavor than the Arctic Zero. I am also much more satisfied by just a generous spoonful of a high quality ice cream than by a cup of something less creamy and flavorful.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
You know I meant to post once that after looking at the Arctic Zero ingredients, really all it is is protein ice cream. Anyone wanting it could go to Eggface's site and make some protein ice cream. That stats on a half cup of her stuff come out nearly identical to Arctic Zero AND it tastes better.
I can't do "regular" regular ice cream but I can do NSA varieties and Edy's makes a good one as well as Breyer's, but I personally am much more partial to NSA fudgesicles.

If I had not already had the SF chocolate sauce in the refrigerator, that is what I would have done with it, too. As I said, though, with enough chocolate sauce... LOL.
I am MUCH more particular about what I eat now (in terms of taste) than I was pre-op. If it does not taste good (not just "ok"), I do not eat it. (Hence my aversion to almost all protein bars.)
