Tofutti Cuties

This is just a mini-review for vegans and non-vegans alike.

I bought the mint chocolate chip tofutti cuties. They were 120 calories, which is in the low end for an ice cream sandwich of average size. I was pleased that they were dairy free; however, when I opened the box, I was sorely disappointed. They are SO tiny-- too small to be "cute"!

As for taste, I had some high hopes, and they were nearly met. the wafers on the outside were chocolaty and identical to those in "regular" ice cream sammies The mint ice cream was refreshing and creamy, but the ice granules on mine became annoying. The chocolate chips were good with the ice cream, but when i reserved a few to taste alone, they tasted like someon had dropped a gallon of "hickory flavored liquid smoke" into the mix!!!

Healthwise, the calories and fat (5g) are waaay too high for a sandwhich 1/2 the size of my palm. Also, there is a load of corn syrup. On the upside, the have no cholesterol and are, of course, vegan.

You be the judge!

I like Tofutti Cuties, but they are just too high in fat for my diet.  If they made a low fat version, I'd be all over it.  I'm not a vegetarian, but I try to get some soy into my diet, and I'm not overly fond of tofu.  Since I'm not a vegetarian, I just bought some of Klondikes low fat "slim a bear" ice cream sandwiches.  They are round sanwiches, and a tad small, but they are very good.  At 100 calories per sandwich, and 1.5 grams of fat, they make an excellent occasional treat for when you just have to have some ice cream.  I really reccomend them.

I like the cuties... but only the vanilla ones. The flavored ones are gross, particularly the peanut butter. It has a bitter taste and doesn't taste like PB at all.

I don't really watch my fat and never noticed the fat content. But I do think they are a bit overly sweet for my tastes. Still, it hits the spot when I'm having a sweet craving.

And as an added plus, nobody in my family will touch them (oooh...soy .... gross mom!), so there's always a ready supply!!

the tofutti "fudgesicles" fooled my neice and nephew! they're awesome. i also like the ice cream bars with the chocolate on the outside (i think they're called "marry me" bars?) anyway!! tofutti ice "cream" products are one of the things that got me to 229! i like the PB ones, but i think they taste like coffee. the double chocolate ones are good too. my least favorite are the plain vanilla ones.

now my ice "cream" treats are blended frozen fruit and soymilk. if you stick it in the freezer for 5ish minutes it gets more solid. i still occasionally (about once a month at this point) treat myself with a slice of the tofutti pizza! with italian seasoning and pepper sprinkled on top. <3

i think once i'm at the point where i feel like i can trust myself with a box of cuties in the freezer the world will be a happier place, haha.

I ama  veg and tofutti products freak me out because they have partially hydrogenated oils. When you eat partially hydrogenated oils, your body basically says "What the f*%$ is this?! What do I do with it?". Google it, see what I mean.
