Prediction: The Ninja Creami is going to wreck the ice cream industry.
“Healthier” ice cream options are probably going to be the hardest hit because once all the health conscious people, who are used to meal prep and macro counting, get their hands on a Ninja Creami, they won’t bother buying pre-made (often pre-melted and refrozen) garbage.
It used to be a tradition of mine to get a pint of Halo Top when Chris was out of town (something to look forward to at night), but that habit is officially dead. Just about everything Chris has made with the Creami is better. Texture-wise, flavor-wise, AND nutritionally, it blows Halo Top out of the water.
So I got curious. Here’s the nutrition info for Halo Top’s Chocolate Mocha Chip ice cream.
Halo Top always had to be a rare treat because if you accidentally ate too much, it’d give you a case of the bubble guts. I’m guessing it has to do with the soluble corn fiber and sugar alcohols…?
Not to mention, the protein content in Halo Top: this one has a measly 18 grams per pint, while Metabolic Drive ice cream is in the mid 50s per pint. And when it comes to carbs, Metabolic Drive ice cream has about half the carbs.
Here’s a closer look:
Maybe Chris needs to do a side by side nutrition comparison of vanillas.
Regardless, we’ve been eating ice cream like maniacs for the past couple weeks – sometimes even in the morning, so that we can clean out one of the special pint containers and use it for a new recipe. We’re having it daily and nobody’s getting fat.
To have this much control over the ingredients, the macros, the flavors, and the freshness, we will probably never buy ice cream again.
Favorite flavors so far:
- Coffee
- Mint Chocolate Chip
- PB2 + Walnut
- Double Chocolate
