Häagen-Dazs Five: Have You Tried It?

b
I just wanted to do a quick post to rave about Häagen-Dazs' yummy "Five" ice cream. I believe it's relatively new (not brand new) and this is the first time I've tried it. Basically, the whole Five line consists of ice creams made from just 5 ingredients making it more natural.

These have been sitting in the freezer for the last week and it really didn't interest me until I ate a spoonful of my sister's Mint.OMG.. this stuff is delicious. I can wholeheartedly say that this is better than most of the ice cream flavors I get when I go to an ice cream parlor (Baskin-Robbins, etc.) I like it a lot more than the "regular" Häagen-Dazs flavors too -it tastes richer and smoother.

UPDATE: I just found out that my mom bought the 3-pack (I believe they're full size) at Costco for $6.99!! That's a really good deal considering containers of Häagen-Dazs usually go for around $4 each.

They "look" different from the regular ice cream I'd get at the store -the Strawberry isn't as bright pink at Dreyer's Strawberry for instance.. they just look more natural. The Mint isn't green -it's white!
Ok, I'm not good at describing flavors but I'll just say this: I generally don't like strawberry ice cream.. I love strawberries but not strawberry ice cream but I love this. It's just a natural strawberry taste.

Coffee is delicious too but it's not as "sweet" tasting as the coffee flavors I'd buy from other brands or at the ice cream parlor. It tastes more like "real" coffee.

Mint is so, so delicious. I usually love mint ice cream but hate the chocolate chips in it (I do like chocolate but not mixed with my mint ice cream.) This is one of the best mint ice creams I've ever tried -almost as good as the gelato I had in Italy!

If you're an ice cream lover then you need to try this. This stuff is just so delicious and to me, it totally beats going out and buying 1 scoop of ice cream at the parlor for like $4-5.

Where To Buy: Safeway, any grocery store?

  5. @ Kristie.. GO! You can get 1 of each flavor for just $6.99 all together! =)

    @ Anonymous.. My little bro and bf are lactose too.. but my bf can handle ice cream. Maybe you can eat just a little?? Even if it's just a few spoonfuls? I hope you can at least have it every now and then. =)
