Trader Joe’s Adds High Protein Joe-Joe’s Cookies and Cream and Chocolate Peanut Butter to Its Freezer Case<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hot on the heels of the release of its Neapolitan Joe-Joe\u2019s ice cream,<\/a> Trader Joe\u2019s dropped two \u201clight\u201d flavors in its freezer case.\u00a0 Joining the high protein ranks along with Halo Top, Enlightened and others, the new Joe-Joe\u2019s Cookies and Cream and Chocolate Peanut Butter run $2.99 for a pint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light \/ high protein ice creams aren\u2019t usually my jam. I\u2019ll just have regular ice cream, but a little less of it. But the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor was too much to resist. Between the two, it\u2019s the one I liked best \u2014 good chocolate flavor and nice chunks of peanut butter. The Cookies and Cream was a little too sweet, often a problem when stevia is used as a sweetener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trader Joe’s light ice cream uses both stevia and monk fruit extract along with the cane sugar and powdered sugar in the cookie pieces. Texture-wise, they were a little crumbly when I tried to scoop them with an ice cream scoop. But let them sit a bit and they scoop more smoothly with a little coaxing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the ingredient lists aren\u2019t identical to its competitors\u2019, Trader Joe\u2019s Joe-Joe\u2019s Cookies and Cream runs 310 calories and 20g of protein per pint, the Chocolate Peanut Butter is 370 calories, 23g of protein per pint. Will it make me a convert to high protein ice creams? The jury is still out, but that Chocolate Peanut Butter is pretty good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trader Joe\u2019s Premium Chocolate Chip is still my favorite in their freezer case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
