We are an ice cream loving home. Sometimes we have 3-4 types of ice cream crammed into our freezer. Often I feel very guilty about the fat in ice cream, so when this Breyers smooth and Dreamy came along, I was so excited. Who does not want to indulge in decadent ice cream for a fraction of the fat?

We picked up the mocha fudge flavor. I really really wanted to love it. I ate it slowly, and I tried to find as many positive aspects as I could, but I hate to admit that I was very disappointed.

First the positive;
- it is super creamy.
- I love the texture of the ice cream, it felts luxurious in your mouth.
- the coffee flavor is nice.

Now, unfortunately, I have some not nice words:
- it is very sweet. Overly sweet.
- there was nearly not enough fudge chunks.
- And when I did get a fudge chunk, they were very hard to chew, and very tough.
- I found that the ice cream is so 'light and airy' that once you scoop out 2 servings, the container is half finished. This is different then more 'dense' ice cream
- It cost $6.99 which I found to be on the high end of the price scale

All in all, having a low fat delicious ice cream seems to be an oxymoron - Bryers is working towards cracking this puzzle. I think that this product is on its way to becoming a great low fat product, but for now, unfortunately, the negatives outweigh the positives.

Which sucks, because as I said, I really really LOVE ice cream.

At $7.99 a tub, Breyers Smooth and Dreamy is the ice cream that I normally walk past in the grocery store. However, armed witha free product coupon, I dove in to test the Strawberries and Cream flavour. My husband and I took the tub to our favorite picnic spot and with a spoon, we discovered little bites of heaven. This ice cream is light, but rich and creamy, and bursting with sweetness.
After a few bites, I started to realize that the texture is so light that it is more foamy than I'd like, and though the taste remained super creamy, I found it became too sweet. I think I prefer a full-fat ice cream for the denser taste.
So though delicious, I don't think I will be buying this low-fat version again. For my family and friends who are concerned about their weights, I will definitely tell them about this ice cream, but personally, I was unsatisfied with the lighter texture.

I had the opportunity to sample and review Breyers Smooth & Dreamy! for the Product Review Club. I picked up a tub of Dulce de Leche at Superstore, where it was retailing for $7.49, the lowest price I could find. Thankfully, as part of the Product Review Club, my tub of Breyers was free. I love ice cream, but not enough to spend that much money, unless it's a special occasion.

Breyers Smooth & Dreamy! is good (hello, it's ice cream!) but it isn't my favourite. Smooth & Dreamy! has a whipped, almost foamy texture to it. It is light and not as creamy and rich as full fat ice cream, despite their claims that the "Cream Press System" delivers a product as creamy as the full fat product. I appreciate that they are trying to market a more "health conscious" product, but I would rather stick to the full fat product and just have less of it. For those that don't have the self control (really, who does all the time?), this would be a suitable alternative.

Although good, Breyers Smooth & Dreamy! was not good enough to make me switch from my preferred ice cream and for special occasions, I would stick with the Breyers All Natural line.

I had the chance to go to the Chick Advisor Breyers' Happy Hour Ice Cream party. It was a great event, full of ice cream themed martinis and manicures. While at the party I sampled the Dulce de Leche and Mocha Fudge Brownie flavours. The Dulce de Leche was a clear winner for me. It doesn't skimp on caramel swirl, and has enough flavour to satisfy a traditionally chocolate flavour fan like me. The Mocha Fudge Brownie was enjoyable as well, with enough chunks of brownie to satisfy the Ben and Jerry's fan. I couldn't help wishing they had left the Mocha out of the Fudge Brownie, since the coffee flavour over powered the chocolate flavour.

Overall this is a great guilt free ice cream product

I got a free trial sample of Breyers Smooth & Dreamy, so I picked up vanilla. I like the concept of the creation of this special ice cream, however, was not WOWed by the texture. It is too "foamy" for my liking, almost like a "whipped" cream ice cream instead of a denser fudgier ice cream. It's not for me unfortunately.
