August has ended and September has arrived, but the hot days are still continuing. On hot days, we crave something cold, such as ice cream, but we tend to be hesitant because the thicker the ice cream, the more calories it contains. However, it is important to reward yourself for a day of hard work, and it will give you something to work hard for. How about a low-calorie, body-friendly ice cream that is also good for your body? We would like to review the new GREEN CRAFT mini cup " Hojicha Kuro Mitsu " from Häagen-Dazs, which went on sale on September 3, 2024 (Tuesday)! It seems to be a Japanese flavor of " rewarding ice cream " that pleases both mind and body, and I am very curious about its taste!
What is GREEN CRAFT?
GREEN CRAFT" is a Häagen-Dazs ice cream made from soy milk, which is based on "vegetable milk" instead of cow's milk. Two types of soymilk, one creamy and full-bodied and the other with a refreshing taste, are blended to achieve a smooth texture and rich flavor. Indeed, the package has the word "soymilk," which is not found in conventional Haagen-Dazs!
It's also a gentle shade of pink, a softly colored package that will be a welcome relief to the weary hearts of everyday life. It would be easy to pick up for the health-conscious, don't you think?
Check the nutritional ingredients label!
Now that we have checked the package, we would like to look at the Nutrition Facts label! Per 1 unit (110 ml) ...
- Energy: 198kcal
- Protein: 3.4g
- Fat: 5.2g
- Carbohydrates: 34.2g
- Salt equivalent: 0.1g
This is lower in calories than the standard vanilla and green tea flavors. This makes me feel less guilty!
Open the lid...
After checking the nutritional information, I'm going to open the package! It should be ready to eat by now. When you open the lid, you will see that the hojicha ice cream is surrounded by molasses...! This way, I can eat all of it without any unevenness.
Mr. Reika actually ate it!
Reika has been doing muscle training for TGS (Tokyo Game Show) recently. He can't drink energy drinks anymore due to sugar restriction, so his stomach is starving, so I'm going to let him eat it with a cheat technique in the name of review!
" It soaks in, doesn't it? "
The taste I'm curious about is the hojicha flavor, which is so mellow and rich that I can't believe it's made with soy milk. The molasses is not as sweet as expected, and the flavor of the molasses brings out the fragrance of the hojicha. Even those who do not like soy milk can enjoy this ice cream! It is also low in calories, so it is perfect for a break from dieting!
