The last few years, the ice cream category has been refreshed by a range of low-calorie, better-for-you products and Enlightened is now introducing a 100-calorie potato chip ice cream.
The savory snack-inspired treat, officially called 'All That & a Bag of Chips,' is a limited-edition potato chip ice cream with chocolate chips and a salted fudge swirl. Although the ice cream product has the potential to satisfy two popular food cravings at the same time, it does so in a way that's low in fat, calories and carbs, as well as high in protein and fiber. Additionally, All That & a Bag of Chips is Kosher and gluten-free. As Enlightened describes, this light ice cream is "Your favorite midnight snack, now with the flavor of your other favorite midnight snack."
