I am a girl who wakes up every morning thinking about food. I love it. I want to eat dessert every day and chocolate as a chaser. Some people love sports teams or One Direction or their dog… I love sweets.
I realize eating dessert every day isn’t the healthiest habit to have.
But I also realize I don’t want to live in a world where I can’t have a treat!
So, when I heard about Arctic Zero frozen dessert a few years ago I was all about it. I LOVE frozen yogurt and ice cream and I saw this option at the grocery store that only has 150 calories for the whole pint. WHAT?! Is this Heaven because I’m staying.
Now. I do have to explain to some of you that Arctic Zero is a frozen dessert and not ice cream’s identical twin. But if you are used to healthy swaps it’s amazing. Plus, since it’s so low cal I scoop half a pint into a cup and top it with sugar free chocolate syrup and some granola to get wild 
My favorite flavor is probably the chocolate peanut butter. I add some warm PB to this because I like it melty.
The company recently sent me a whole truckload of their frozen dessert flavors plus some ice cream bars. These are a little harder to find but I’ve heard they are at Walmart or ArcticZero.com.
Since I am trying to slowly wean myself off the Christmas cookie diet without going into withdrawals I’ve been enjoying Arctic Zero after dinner as a replacement.
Tip: It freezes pretty solid so you have to set it out for bit to soften (or pop it in the microwave like I do for 20 seconds).
I personally love the stuff. It is a little pricey, but there are more expensive habits to have so I am okay with that.
I feel like it’s a protein shake that is closer to a dessert than anything else I’ve tried. Bonus: It’s non-GMO and lactose intolerant friendly.
Question: Do you have dessert every day?
I do.

I love Arctic Zero! First time I tried it, I didn’t like it because I guess my expectations were that it would be like ice cream, but I gave it another shot a year later after reading about it on a blog, and I’m glad I did! It is perfect for feeling like you’re having something really special on a low-calorie-type day. Normally I make all my desserts from scratch, but since I’m so into that – I have been known to make 6 cakes side by side to compare them, there are sometimes a few days where I need to lay low on the sugar – LOL. Arctic zero is my go-to treat. I love the Cookies ‘n cream, Mint Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter (just tastes like chocolate to me) and Coffee. I would like to try the rest of the flavors (next time I need to, hehe). I still eat my home-made desserts 99% of the time, but it is so nice to be able to eat an entire PINT of something for a few days in a row when I need to be “good.” I usually pick up a couple of pints at a time, they are really fun. Might get tired of them after a week, but it’s never that long for me. Also, I might not get tired of them 🙂
I love deserts and eat them every day! and i love your blog, but this post just made me very sad — i haven’t seen Artic Zero in Dubai, where i live 🙁
Yes I have desert everyday -____- not good lol. I have never heard of this stuff before. I certainly never saw it at Walmart. hmmm. But at only 150 calories you can’t really go wrong. But then again, tomorrow is the Super Bowl and I know I will be stuffing my face with junk anyway. Great post.
dessert lol.
Oh my god Arctic Zero is my LIFE SAVER! I’ve never tried the chocolate pb one but it sounds delicious. I never thought I would be able to eat an entire pint of “ice cream” without feeling guilty.
I’m a big dessert junkie as well. I laid off candy for the month of January but come February 1st I will eat a mountain of chocolate.
I am trying to be better and someone brought dunkin donuts into work today..I made it until after lunch…then I had a half..and then went back for the other half. The fact I waited almost 5 hours is a record for me…but need to work on it
Unless I am sick I eat some type of dessert every day! I’ve never seen this in stores near me, and I look every once in a while since I love ice cream!
A day is not complete without dessert!
Artic zero calorie info is wrong, they did an article last year about it in Today. Chocolate pb had 68% more calories than the label claimed!!!

Always something! Even if its a few dark chocolate covered almonds (TJ’s) after dinner. #needatreat
i definitely eat dessert everyday but i seriously cannot get into arctic zero 🙁 i don’t know if its the aftertaste or what …. 😕 ugh
I love dessert! Arctic Zero has been on my list to try for awhile now, too. Glad to hear you like it!
I tend to need something sweet to finish a meal! I love the vanilla maple artic zero! Yum!
You can also find it at Whole Foods.
I love this stuff! Cookies and Cream is my favorite – it’s actually really creamy! For people in SoCal, you can find it at Ralph’s or Fresh & Easy (cheaper at F&E).
I have WAY TOO MUCH dessert everyday. It’s bad. But I’m not even sorry.
YUM! Looks like I will be having some Arctic Zero for a Superbowl treat! (Or just to cool off my mouth after Buffalo chicken wings, meatballs, and your “healthy taco dip” 😉
Basically. If not dessert, popcorn, or trail mix… I’m a snacker!
I need to look into this. My husband and I eat a whole tub of ice cream in one sitting. It’s not healthy.
What is it actually made of?!
Looks good! Could serve as a substitute for my Dairy Queen runs…ha ha! That’s a habit I’ve tried hard at breaking and it’s way more expensive! But I ususually have a little something sweet every day even if it’s just a little chocolate.
I have an awful sweets habit. Basically i want dessert after every meal. And snack. Clearly this isn’t the best life plan though. I LOVE chocolate covered almonds, and have been trying to have these as my dessert. But i think this still ends up as too many calories? I was also trying to just have a banana with chocolate nut butter at the end of the day…should probably go back to that. Yesterday i made a pan of frikin delicious gluten free dairy free brownies. We ate the whole pan (it was smallish) and i don’t feel at all bad about it. They were good.
I can’t do dairy, which is to bad (for many reasons obviously) cause artic zero sounds right up my ally. Probably it good though, i don’t need another dessert to love. I REALLY want change my sugar habits 🙁
I eat wayy to much dessert (if there’s such a thing). Ive been getting into some serious Ben and Jerrys lately so maybe this would be a good swap.
I’d never heard of them before, and I was really skeptical about what they were doing to make it so low-cal, but then I checked out their website and was pretty darn happy with their ingredient list! Good one on em! If they want to ship me a truckload as well, I wouldn’t complain haha!
I love my sweets, but I’ve been eating so many healthy, whole foods lately that by the time I’m done eating I don’t have room for dessert! I guess that can be a good thing, depending on how you look at it :-/
I love low-cal desserts so I can have a treat and not ruin my day. Gonna have to try Arctic Zero!
I usually have a little treat everyday, somedays it’s actual just something little and sometimes it’s not so little.
I had to look up the ingredient info…thought it would be pretty horrible but it’s not too shabby. Will have to try it out!
I definitely have “dessert” every day. I need at least a piece or two of dark chocolate to keep me sane. I’ll have a real dessert, such as ice cream or hot chocolate, probably about once a week.
I haven’t heard of Arctic Zero before, but I definitely want to try it out. Despite the arctic (see what I did there? 😉 temperatures outside in Massachusetts lately, us New Englanders can eat ice cream (or ice cream-like products) year round! I believe we consume the most ice cream of the entire country. Not sure if that’s something to brag about or not…
I <3 arctic zero. You're right, it doesn't taste exactly like ice cream, but it does scratch that frozen desert itch. They had a pumpkin spice that was stellar.
One thing I've found this IS just about like actual ice cream is halo top creamery ice cream. It's light, organic, and 70 calories for a serving. They have a lemon cake flavor that is to die for!
They had a pumpkin flavor?! I missed it!
I only found it once, then it was gone. I was so sad. My fave reg flavor is probably the choc mint.
Just in case anyone wanted to eat an entire pint (I definitely would!) it seems like the calorie counts are a little off. Don’t want to discourage anyone from eating Artic Zero (I’m sure it’s delicious!) but just wanted to share. I’m sure the accuracy thing is an issue with a bunch of other foods/brands too.

While I am not a huge sweet person , I want chocolate EVERY DAY! Will be looking for some of this. And I love your opening statement. But I love my dog AND chocolate. There can be an and right I cant chose!
Um dessert is a must or I am cranky! I MUST try some Arctic Zero! That cookies n cream flavor looks delish.
I don’t have dessert everyday…but if my hips would allow it…I would 😉
I love dessert!! 🙂 Mostly ice cream and cookies!
I tried the Chocolate PB Arctic Zero but wasn’t too impressed. I think I need to experiment with toppings. I definitely want to try the bars though for sure! I’ve also heard the Vanilla Maple is great.
I’m much more of a savory person and crave chips and guacamole more than dessert, but I could definitely get down with some of that Arctic Zero.
Yes to dessert everyday…..I don’t want to live in a world without dessert!!
OMG – I am a frozen yogurt fanatic! I dream of opening my own yoyo shop someday! They’re especially popular in Arizona because of the heat. Where do you buy arctic zero? I like to eat the Weight Watchers Smart Ones sundaes – the chocolate chip cookie dough or raspberry white chocolate cheesecake. All under 150 calories! They’re enough to satisfy my sweet tooth without going overboard.
Yes, I have dessert every day. It may be ice cream, cookies, of a few pieces of chocolate.
I’ve had it before I love topping it with pb too!!
I too am a sweets girl! I will have to try these products. I am always trying to find lower cal options.
I love dessert – I want it after every meal! I usually stick to a small dessert after dinner…expect on the weekends when sometimes I just can’t get enough Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food.
I tend to make full calorie desserts and limit my portions. I tried to eat low fat, low sugar desserts and they never satisfied. I do like some of the weight watchers ice cream bars. But they are not all natural.
I eat the coconut ice cream because I can’t do dairy, but it’s not as low calorie at Arctic Zero. Darn.
I feel like my day is missing something if I don’t have something sweet. I prefer my desserts after lunch though, I think it makes my work day better. So I have a stash of the dark chocolate/blueberry Brookestone treats in my desk drawer… well I did … but I’m going to have to check out this Arctic Zero stuff…
I love Arctic Zero and it always amuses me when people complain about how much it costs (about $4.50 a pint.) That’s about how much ANY pint of ice cream costs!
I am a huge fan of Artic Zero! I love the flavor and texture, I have to eat dairy free and gluten free and these are perfect! To me they taste just like regular ice cream, I think because I have not had ice cream in so long! haha
I always have to eat SOMETHING after dinner, and it’s either dessert or dessert-like. I wish they had Arctic Zero in Canada SO badly! I get super snacky at night and I feel like it would just solve all of my life’s problems. 😉
i do have dessert every day but I am trying to get away from “healthy desserts”. I usually just tend to eat more of them because they are healthy!
I have dessert every single day if I didn’t I don’t know how I would survive! OK that is a little dramatic but you get the point 🙂
