Bryn brought home a box of Fit & Active brand chocolate fudge low-fat ice cream bars.  This is a product that you can buy at Aldi grocery stores.

First off I'll point out that there is a sticker on the front of the box that we have that says, "Compare to Weight Watchers."  That might normally be a warning to me, saying something like, "stay away, the flavor has been compromised."  But, I'm not here to bash the product.  Actually quite the opposite.

These bars are each 100 calories, 1 gram of fat, 5 grams of fiber, and 15 grams of sugar.  Total protein is 4 grams.  Total carbohydrates are 24 grams.  There are even 150 mg of calcium.  OK, enough of the technical specifications.

The first thing I noticed when I took a bite was the good chocolate impact.  Bryn commented that they probably used good cocoa.  There are no artificial flavors listed so the cocoa is standing on its own.  Next I noticed the texture.  It's really creamy and smooth.  No grittiness or icy feeling like you get from some frozen fudge bars.

The portion size is good too.  That made the overall experience quite satisfying.  I didn't feel like I was getting ripped off by choosing a low calorie count.

Each package contains 6 bars at 4 fluid ounces each.  So if you're looking for a nice cool dessert on a hot summer day, this might be just what you're looking for.
