Has anyone succeeded in finding Bryers Carbsmart ice cream
in the southern California area? I only have Vons,
Albertsons, Ralph's and Food For Less to choose from.

I've never seen Turkey Hill products in southern California.

With the strike going on and picketers outside the door, I
have seen the local manager sweeping up the floor. : )

TURKEY HILL has just announced that they will start selling low carb ice cream in supermarkets in
January.
They say that will come out with more interesting flavors than Bryers.

I tried that LeCarb stuff last summer and didn't like the taste of it at
all. I'ed rather have nothing than that stuff.

Or speak to the manager of your local store and ask if they'd be
willing to stock it. Some will accomodate requests from customers.

I've found it at all the Ralphs in the Los Angeles area. Particularly
Third and La Brea and La Brea and Fountain.

A search of our local safeway.com web site indicates that it stocks
three flavors (chocolate, vanilla and strawberry) with a Club Card
price of $3.99 per half gallon (a savings of $1.80 per half gallon for
club card members). They also stock the Klondike Carb bars for $4.99
a box. If you east coast residents are paying $1.88 a half gallon,
we're getting ripped off in Northern California!

I got the Strawberry at the Vons on Lake Murray/Baltimore in
La Mesa. Tastes good, best I've had since eating low carb.
There was a coupon in Sunday paper for $1.00 off, doubled at
Vons for $2.00 off.

It's a problem....it tastes great and the texture is just like real ice
cream.....

The "bad news" is that it does RAISE BG levels.....soooo, us diabetics can't
use it..... Sad

Maybe it raises your, but it don't raise mine. It acts just
like 4g carb per 1/2 cup should act on my BG. I tested
before and after eating it.

The good news is... it doesn't raise my BG levels, so this diabetic CAN
use it.

The bad news is... it must raise yours.

That's the YMMV thing.

The Breyer's CarbSmart is an entirely different product from their No Sugar
Added products.

It's a high fat ice cream. Not grainy, though it has a few more ice crystals
in it than the regular stuff. It does include sugar alcohols and,
regretably, a small amount of high fructose corn syrup.

However, the total carb count including the SA and HFCS is only 10 per half
cup serving and my meter likes it, even though my many products with sugar
alcohols will raise my blood sugar unacceptably.

They also make a chocolate coated popsicle bar which clocks in at 7 grams if
you count all the sugar alcohols. I liked it alot (and the built in portion
control.)

The fudge bar they sell was the only disappointment. It was lower calorie
but struck me as too greasy and not chocolatey enough.
