The Breyer's CarbSmart is an entirely different product from their No Sugar Added products.
It's a high fat ice cream. Not grainy, though it has a few more ice crystals in it than the regular
stuff. It does include sugar alcohols and, regretably, a small amount of high fructose corn syrup.
However, the total carb count including the SA and HFCS is only 10 per half cup serving and my meter
likes it, even though my many products with sugar alcohols will raise my blood sugar unacceptably.
They also make a chocolate coated popsicle bar which clocks in at 7 grams if you count all the sugar
alcohols. I liked it alot (and the built in portion control.)
The fudge bar they sell was the only disappointment. It was lower calorie but struck me as too
greasy and not chocolatey enough.

Just a query here, as I have not yet seen this product.
I always found that the Breyers no sugar added ice cream (before the fshion in low carb started)
was grainy and rather unpleasnt. As the term "effective carbs" is now used , probably just
eliminating the sugar alcohols carbs from the counting, is this a new formulation, or just a
relabelling of the old? I do have to count some of the sugar alcohols in my calculations, as they
can keep my bgs up as well as upset my stomach.
