Scoop 38: Breyers Strawberry Ice Cream
July 3rd, 2006I had forgotten how summery strawberry ice cream is. When I was younger I used to get strawberry ice cream from the Lake Harriet concessions stand and walk around the Minneapolis lake with my family. Eating Breyers Strawberry ice cream brought those summer memories back. Breyers Strawberry has a creamy strawberry flavor. Not intensely strawberry, but subtle in the way it blends with the cream. There are a good number of chunks of strawberry, but not so many as to ruin the creamy texture. I really enjoyed this ice cream and how refreshing it tastes.
- Flavor: 5
- Flavor Intensity: 3
- Texture: 4.5
- Originality: 2
- Overall: 4.5
- Cost: $5.99 at Safeway

[...] The strawberry ice cream was very good. It’s light and not very dense, but has a nice flavor. Because it’s not dense and rich, I don’t think it was a good as the Breyers I previously tested. As I said, the Edy’s Grand Strawberry ice cream was good, but I was left feeling very confused. It’s called “Edy’s Grand†which implies that it’s rich and thus bad for you. But, this strawberry flavored Grand only came in at 130 calories and 6 grams of fat. Yes, that’s more fat than their new “Slow Churned†flavors, but not any more calories. Are all Edy’s Grand ice creams this good for you? If so, then what’s with the new Slow Churned / Double Churned craze? [...]
