Lightbulb Skinny Cow ice creams?

Does anyone know where I can get skinny cow ice creams in the UK?

I finally gave up chocolate 2 weeks ago (serious chocoholic for many years!!) and need a little sweet fix every now and then. I used to get these when I've lost weight in the past and they really helped.

I saw the mint flavour in tesco recently but I'm not a mint fan and I'm sure they do a chocolate and/or brownie flavour, but I can't find them anywhere!

Many thanks!

I googled but no joy, this page is actually the second hit. The Skinny Cow website says most major supermarkets carry them, so try every one nearby?

Searched the Tesco website for "skinny cow" and the mint flavour is the only one that comes up, that doesn't bode well...

No results at all on Asda's website. And Sainsbury's is suggesting Laughing Cow Cheese Triangles, although it's also suggesting their own ice cream range. Clearly their search engine knows what Skinny Cow is, they just don't carry it. What other supermarkets are there?

M&S: nothing. Morrisons: no search option on the website. Iceland only seem to have their own brand stuff. This is not looking good. I wish you the best of luck in your search.

Oooh I remember these, I used to have the chocolate ones a few years ago.

I haven't noticed them around actually. Maybe they aren't as popular as they once were? No idea why.

Have you considered mini milk instead? They are yummy and relatively low cal.

They do a nice choc one for only 30 cals: http://www.loveicecream.com/uk_en/pr...1/default.aspx

Waitrose and their online Ocado company do them - and they are currently half price.

Forgot about Waitrose! We're not posh enough to have one round here, so I tend to forget it exists. Whoops!

Their website only shows a caramel shortcake thing, but it's not mint, so worth checking out!

Lyndzro - why not make your own low-cal desserts using mullerlight yogurts and quark tc? I do that.

Or try getting a muller yogurt and freezing it - keep taking it out every half hour to an hour and give it a good stir until it's close to solid. Tastes just like ice cream.

Ahhhhh it's the stirring that I'm missing! Thanks Ellie! My frozen yoghurt has always been a fail, must stir!

I've been eating yoo moo, frozen yoghurt pots, they've got a few flavours in my morrisons, a chocolate one, raspberry one, plain one and tropical one I think. They had the little pots on half price a few weeks ago, I think they were about 80p.

I got this little ice cream sandwich things from morrisons this week, they are so yummy (very small) but contain less than 90 calories. I too was looking for skinny cow but they didnt sell any. Also try the frozen mousee you get in dessert sections, taste just like icecream and often is under 70cals. x

The chic mint ones are currently on special offer in Lidl - box of 3 for 99p but you'll need to be quick!
