Breyers Smooth & Dreamy: Review and Giveaway

It has been a hot summer out in these parts. Not like last year when we didn't even hit 90 degrees. Personally, I prefer the cooler weather myself, but I tend to try and make the best of whatever comes around.

One of the perks of hot summer weather is the excuse to eat more ice cream! While it tastes great and is so much fun to eat, it always brings an interesting dilemma. I tend to buy the low-cal treats for myself but am never keen on the idea of giving them to LJ. Not because the boy would be worse off with less sugar, but because often the lower calorie ones have some pretty funky ingredients in them. You know, the I-can't-even-pronounce-this-nevermind-what-it-might-do-to-my growing-boy type ingredients?

When Mom Central put out the call of moms to try a new line of Breyers lower calorie treats I raised my hand up high to volunteer (okay - I really waved wildly, jumped up and down and yelled "pick me, pick me"). Part of the reason why I was so eager to try these new treats was that I have long been a loyal Breyers customer. LOVE their all natural vanilla ice cream - it tastes just like the kind I make myself, but with less clean up.

I couldn't wait to try their new line of Smooth & Dreamy products! Would I be disappointed?
In a word, no.

The Smooth & Dreamy line meets the same high standards that Breyers is known for. The box promises "extra creamy" and the ice cream delivers. We tried the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough sandwiches and the Triple Chocolate Chip bars. Both clock in at 160 calories or under and have no artificial flavors or colors.

If you've stuck it out this far in the review, you deserve a treat. How about a box of your choice of Breyers Smooth and Dreamy treats for yourself? I have three coupons for free treats to give away.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Breyers and received products necessary to facilitate my review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate
