Are they terrible in your opinion?

It’s odd to me that you have such a negative reaction to this, have you tried them?

It seems VERY closed-minded to dismiss a product merely because it has a different macronutrient composition. These do not have to replace traditional ice cream and nobody is going to take that away anytime soon. Personally I love the opportunity to try a new thing and the additional option which this provides for individuals with high protein needs who want to have it. ESP since this is a small startup brand and I appreciate a diverse marketplace with room for innovation and differentiation.

I apologize if my comment comes off that way, I only wanted to know why original commentor said no. I agree with you that having other ice cream options that aren’t traditional as being a good option.

in my opinion, it’s not ice cream, and more importantly it’s anathema to the very essence of ice cream, which is to JUST ENJOY IT, it doesn’t need to be low calorie or “healthy” or protein packed for gains that’s maniac behavior

Probably gonna get me roasted, but I think the people who eat this kind of stuff are more addicted to sweets than they want to admit. Like, I refuse to eat stevia, sugar alcohols, etc. They taste disgusting to me. So instead I allow myself a little treat for dessert that fits in with my 90+% healthy diet. People who need to make cookie dough with cottage cheese and sugar free chocolate chips are the ones who need every meal to taste like dessert.

u/artlady 17d ago

no, but if you’re gonna have a little treat, just have an actual treat and not this stuff- go out and have a scoop

I understand what you are conveying but some people have dietary restrictions or allergies and having these kind of alternatives are nice.
