Have half the fat, 40 percent fewer calories than regular ice cream* and 4g net carbs.
25/01/2005 Breyers ice cream has introduced the first light ice cream products for use as part of a low-carbohydrate diet. Breyers® CarbSmart(TM) Light Vanilla Fudge Sundae and Breyers® CarbSmart(TM) Light Chocolate Peanut Butter have half the fat, 40 percent fewer calories than regular ice cream* and 4g net carbs (per half-cup serving).
The new light flavors join Breyers® line of CarbSmart(TM) ice cream products first introduced in late 2003 and expanded last year. Although low- carb diets may have peaked, carbohydrate awareness is here to stay. Since their introduction, Breyers® CarbSmart(TM) ice cream products quickly became best-sellers throughout 2004 with four flavors among the top 10 new packaged ice cream.
New Breyers® CarbSmart(TM) Light Vanilla Fudge Sundae pairs vanilla ice cream with crunchy chocolate-covered peanuts and a satisfying fudge swirl. Chocoholics can enjoy Breyers® CarbSmart(TM) Light Chocolate Peanut Butter, which combines chocolate ice cream with a thick peanut butter swirl.
New Breyers® CarbSmart(TM) Light products will be sold in supermarkets beginning in early February. A 1.75 quart container has a suggested retail price of $5.09.
