Review: Breyers Blasts! Sara Lee Strawberry Cheesecake Frozen Dairy Dessert

I've been trying so hard to limit the amount of ice cream/frozen dairy dessert that I've been eating lately.  It had gotten out of control and while I've essentially replaced ice cream/frozen dairy dessert with many varieties of actual cake (yeah, I have a bit of a sweet tooth), I occasionally relapse when a place like Kroger throws out a Breyers sale and digital coupon that basically begs me to add to my review collection.  It's that "trap" that led me to pick up this 1.5 quart container of Breyers Blasts! Sara Lee Strawberry Cheesecake Frozen Dairy Dessert on sale for $2.99 after all the sales and digital coupons were applied.  Within this container were the typical twelve half-cup servings with each serving come in at 130 calories.  Breyers has paired up with Sara Lee, the famous purveyor of cheesecakes, on this one and as this blog has shown, they like to do that with their Blasts! line of products as they've hit up Mrs. Fields, Snickers, the Girl Scouts, Oreo, Chips Ahoy!, Heath, Reese's, M&M's, etc.

Review: Breyers Gelato Indulgences Tiramisu

If you are a semi-regular reader of the blog, you may have noticed recently that I've been trying to stay away from the frozen dessert-types of products.  I developed an out of control fetish for them last year and my goal for the past few months has been to try to bring that under control.  But, every now and then, I revert to my old self (usually caused by a sale and/or coupon) and when I was strolling through my local Kroger recently, I saw a new Breyers product with this 28.5 ounce container of Breyers Gelato Indulgences Tiramisu that I knew I had to try and add to my review catalog.  Each container of this gelato has seven half-cup servings and each serving is 170 calories.

Review: Breyers Blasts! SNICKERS Bar Light Ice Cream

Everyone knows that SNICKERS is a classic dessert add-in (and candy bar).  Because it's a classic, I often times view it as boring.  But, armed with a sale and a need to pick up more desserts, I was willing to put that boredom aside and pick up a container of Breyers Blasts! SNICKERS Bar Light Ice Cream to add to my ever growing catalog of Breyers reviews.  I got this 1.5 quart container on sale for $3.00 and each container has the usual twelve half-cup servings and each serving is a "light" 150 calories.  It seems like most of the Breyers Blasts! flavors are made using frozen dairy dessert, so it's rare to come across one that is actually ice cream, albeit light, like this one is.  What is most amazing about this is that when I did a search of the internet for other reviews like I do each time I do an ice cream review, I couldn't find hardly anything around this flavor.  I guess others might find it boring and not worthy of a review.  I just feel special now since I'm doing a review...or something.

Review: Breyers Blasts! Girl Scout Cookies Samoas Frozen Dairy Dessert

As a kid, I hated Girl Scout Samoa cookies due to the fact that I hated coconut for most of my life.  Since I've started to like coconut recently here over the past few years, I've given Samoas another chance and they've gone from being a cookie that I hated to being my second favorite Girl Scout cookie (Tagalongs will always be number one, BY FAR).  Since I've grown to like Samoas, I was willing to grab a container of this Breyers Blasts! Girl Scout Cookies Samoas Frozen Dairy Dessert and give it a shot for another Breyers review.  Now, the Girl Scouts had a marketing deal with Dreyers / Edy's for many years, but within the past year, they've switched that branding deal over to Breyers thus the "New" tag on this even though the Girl Scout Cookies Samoas flavor has been around for a long time under a different umbrella.  Not sure why specifically, but the cynic (and realist) in me guess it probably had everything to do with money, not that there's anything wrong with that.  I picked up a 1.5 quart container of this on sale at Meijer for $3.00 and each container has twelve half-cup servings and each serving is 140 calories.

Review: Breyers Strawberry Shortcake Frozen Dairy Dessert

I find the whole concept of frozen dairy dessert to be hilarious.  It's a dessert that wants to be ice cream but doesn't quite go far enough according to government regulations, so instead it becomes a frozen dairy dessert.  I don't know why that amuses me, but it does and I've certainly tried out several of them here on this blog in Breyers reviews.  One thing I do appreciate about them is that they are fairly low calorie compared to regular ice creams (especially premium ice creams), so that is a nice characteristic.  Today's review is of another frozen dairy dessert in this limited edition Breyers Strawberry Shortcake Frozen Dairy Dessert.  I picked up a 1.5 quart container of this at Meijer on sale for $3.00 and each of the twelve half-cup servings in the container is a fairly reasonable 130 calories.

Review: Breyers Blasts! Strawberry Waffle Cone Frozen Dairy Dessert

Sometimes its difficult to figure out if manufacturers get bored with their products and/or they just like to endlessly tinker with formulas as ways to introduce new products.  Previously, I had reviewed the Breyers Blasts Waffle Cone with Chocolatey Chips Frozen Dairy Dessert, but out of need to endlessly tinker or just come up with a way to introduce something as "new" when it is really just a slight alteration of the existing product, Breyers has recently put out this Breyers Blasts! Strawberry Waffle Cone Frozen Dairy Dessert.  I got this on sale at Kroger for $2.49 and it's 1.5 quarts and has twelve half-cup sized servings of frozen dairy dessert.  Each serving comes in at 130 calories, so it's a semi-reasonable caloric load as far as frozen desserts go.

Review: Breyers Blasts! Birthday Blast Frozen Dairy Dessert

In general, I like the Breyers Blasts! line of products quite a bit and have had lots of success with them.  The Blasts! line is right up my alley as in most cases, I choose add-ins over overall flavor of the ice cream (or in this case, frozen dairy dessert).  Since Blasts! are all about add-ins, that makes them a big winner.  Seeing a new flavor in the freezer case at my local Kroger, along with a Breyers sale, I decided to pick up this 1.5 quart container of Breyers Blasts! Birthday Blast Frozen Dairy Dessert on sale for $2.99.  It's a fairly economical 130 calories per serving and it's twelve half-cup servings per container.

Review: Breyers Blasts! Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Chocolate Frozen Dairy Dessert

I've had a lot of success with Breyers Blasts! reviews on this blog.  More often than not, I've found them to be particularly delicious and well stuffed with add-ins.  One thing I have done is try to avoid what I consider "boring" and run-of-the-mill flavors like Snickers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, etc. because I've wanted to try some off the ones that seemed (to me at least) to jump out of the freezer at the store.  While doing my typical perusing of the freezer case at Meijer recently, I saw a new Reese's variation of the Blasts! product line with this Breyers Blasts! Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Chocolate Frozen Dairy Dessert that I picked up on sale for $3.00 for a 1.5 quart container.  Each container has twelve half-cup servings and each serving is 140 calories.

Review: Breyers Blasts! Mrs. Fields Chocolate Fudge Brownie Frozen Dairy Dessert

I've got to admit that I'm enjoying reviewing all of these Breyers Blasts! frozen dairy desserts.  It's not because I think all of them are good, but I certainly appreciate what Breyers is trying to do with them.  They are making a dessert for guys like me...meaning guys that love their ice cream-like desserts with a whole bunch of add-ins.  Ice cream (and frozen dairy dessert alone) is fine, but give me some stuff to crunch on or chew my way through and you've at least got a plan to make me happy because it all comes down to the execution after that.  So, another sale led me to pick up another 1.5 quart container of this Breyers Blasts! Mrs. Fields Chocolate Fudge Brownie Frozen Dairy Dessert at Meijer for $2.99.  Each container has twelve half-cup servings and each serving comes in at a reasonable 140 calories per serving.

Review: Breyers S'mores Frozen Dairy Dessert

This review is humorous to be for a couple reasons.  Prior to starting this blog, I was okay with ice cream/frozen dairy dessert, but didn't particularly love it.  It was the same way with s'mores...I liked them, but didn't particularly love them.  After reviewing tons of products involving one or both of these things, I now LOVE them both, so when I saw another Breyers product with this Breyers S'mores Frozen Dairy Dessert on sale at Kroger, I knew I had to grab it to give it a try for a review (plus the "New" tagline roped me in too).  The 1.5 quart container was on sale for $2.99 and each serving is 170 calories per serving.  There's about fourteen servings per container.

Review: Breyers Blasts! Waffle Cone with Chocolatey Chips Frozen Dairy Dessert

Therapists say that the first step to fixing a problem is first admitting that you have a problem.  So, here I go:  I eat too much ice cream (or ice cream related products).  Of course, the second step to fix a problem is actually wanting to fix the problem and in the case of frozen desserts, I'm not sure I ever want to stop eating them.  So, in that quest to never solve that problem, another sale at my local Kroger led me to try out another Breyers Blasts! 1.5 quarter container with this Breyers Blasts! Waffle Cone with Chocolatey Chips Frozen Dairy Dessert for $2.50.  I've seen a couple of reviews of this on the internet at On Second Scoop and Junk Food Guy that have made me want to eat my hand, so I'm surprised it took me this long to pick it up.  Oh by the way, the container has about twelve half-cup sized servings and each serving is 140 calories.

Review: Breyers Blasts! Heath English Toffee Frozen Dairy Dessert

In my previous Breyers Blasts! review of their Chips Ahoy! flavor, I remarked how they certainly didn't short you on the amount of add-ins that you receive, which is certainly the whole point of the Breyers Blasts! line of products.  When I picked up that last container, I picked up a second container to check out and that leads me to this review of the Breyers Blasts! Heath English Toffee Frozen Dairy Dessert.  Just like last time, this was picked up at Marsh for $3.00 for the 1.5 quart container.  Each container contains about twelve servings and since this is frozen dairy dessert and not actual ice cream, it's a fairly economical 140 calories per serving.

Review: Breyers Blasts! Golden Oreo Cookies & Cream Frozen Dairy Dessert

Breyers has been on sale a lot at my local stores recently and like a kid in a candy store, I haven't been able to resist buying containers of it every time it goes on sale so that leads me to another Breyers review with this review of the Breyers Blasts! Golden Oreo Cookies & Cream Frozen Dairy Dessert.  I find Oreos to be an overrated (and overused) cookie, but its rare that you see anything out there with Golden Oreos other than the cookie itself, which are awesome by the way, so I was very intrigued to see this in the freezer case.  I picked this one up on sale (of course) at Kroger for $2.50 and it contains twelve half cup servings.  Each serving comes in at 140 calories.

Review: Breyers Blasts! Chips Ahoy! Frozen Dairy Dessert

Frozen dairy dessert...yum.  The red-headed step child of ice cream, frozen dairy dessert can sometimes still be tasty when done right and on a recent trip to my local Marsh, they had a half price sale where I was able to pick up this 1.5 quart container of Breyers Blasts! Chips Ahoy! Frozen Dairy Dessert for $3.00.  Not a bad deal, despite the fact that I was scared of the frozen dairy dessert label.  Still, I was willing to give it a try since it included Chips Ahoy! cookies and maybe part of me thought that eating this would transport me back to my childhood when I used to devour those cookies by the handful.  Just for the record, each container contains about twelve half cup servings and each serving is 140 calories, so the frozen dairy dessert part of this obviously makes healthier, I guess.
