Edy’S/Dreyer’S Slow Churned Mint Chocolate Chip Light Ice Cream, 1.5 Qt
What You Should Know
Edy's/Dreyer's Slow Churned Mint Chocolate Chip Light Ice Cream is a familiar frozen-treat find in the grocery's frozen dessert aisle: kept in the freezer section near other reduced-fat and regular ice creams, snack tubs and frozen novelties. You’re likely to spot it on shelves with other “light” or slow-churned varieties and chocolate- or mint-flavored tubs. It fits quick stops for family groceries, after-dinner dessert runs, and casual entertaining — a movie-night staple or a simple finish to weekend brunches and game-day spreads. The brand leans on mainstream American ice cream heritage, appealing to families and adults who want indulgence with fewer calories; marketing emphasizes nostalgia, family tradition and a “better-for-you” twist on a classic. Label characteristics include health-halo claims like “Slow Churned,” “light,” and marketing statements about milk from cows not treated with rBST and OU Kosher dairy certification; the package copy claims “no artificial colors or flavors,” though the ingredient list also names FD&C Yellow 5 and Blue 1. There is no organic certification. In plain processing terms this product is made with milk and cream but also contains industrially produced stabilizers, sweeteners and emulsifiers. Sensory notes: the texture is creamy but lighter than full-fat ice cream, with a cool mint base and small chocolatey chips that add snap; it comes in a 1.5‑quart tub intended for scooping at home, often paired with simple rituals — a relaxed scoop into bowls, melting into coffee, or spooning straight from the tub for casual indulgence. Overall it’s positioned as a convenient, family-friendly compromise between decadence and calorie-conscious choices.

Common Questions about Edy’S/Dreyer’S Slow Churned Mint Chocolate Chip Light Ice Cream, 1.5 Qt
The term 'healthy' can be a bit slippery, right? This ice cream is lower in fat than regular options, which might make it a better choice for a treat in moderation. However, it does contain added sugars and some artificial colors, so consider it a fun indulgence rather than a health food.
