Breyers Smooth & Dreamy (review and giveaway)

From Mom Central: As temperatures rise and summer approaches, my family starts to crave frozen treats even more than usual, and clamor for ice cream at the ready in the freezer. Whether enjoying dessert on the back porch while watching the setting sun or grabbing a frozen treat out of the cooler at a picnic, it doesn’t really feel like summer without ice cream in hand.

Between hanging by the pool, picking my kids up from camp or just relaxing at home, the new Breyers Smooth & Dreamy ice cream bars and sandwiches prove an excellent treat for me at the end of a long day. With six rich and creamy flavors, including Chocolate Caramel Brownie, Vanilla Caramel Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Vanilla Fudge Brownie, and Triple Chocolate Chip, Breyers Smooth & Dreamy bars and sandwiches offer something for everyone. And with no artificial flavors or colors, 160 calories or less and 4-6g of fat per serving, and delicious mix-ins and swirls, these bars and sandwiches make for refreshing snacks and desserts. Hello summer!

My take: I recently received a coupon from Mom Central to purchase one of these new Breyers Smooth & Dreamy bars and sandwiches that I had been checking out in my local grocer.  So I picked up a box of Vanilla Caramel Chip Bars (I REALLY wanted to try the Chocolate Covered Strawberry bars but alas, they were sold out).  To be honest with you, ice cream is my Achilles heel - especially in summer time - all I have to do is LOOK at ice cream and all my weight loss resolutions go out the door.  Which is why I've been such a fan of the Breyer's Smooth & Dreamy ice cream line lately - low on calories but NOT low in taste (I honestly cannot tell the difference from their full fat line).  And the addition of these bars and sandwiches (just 130 calories!) are just what the 'doctor' ordered for these busy days of summer - the yummy taste of Breyer's Smooth & Dreamy, on the run or while relaxing by our new pool.  Pure bliss I tell you.  Be sure to check them out for yourself today!  And don't forget to visit The Wheel of Delights instant win & sweepstakes for your chance to win some awesome prizes!
