August has ended, and September is here, but the hot days are continuing.
On hot days, you want something cold, like ice cream, but the richer flavors often have high calories, which can make you hesitate.
However, on a day you've worked hard, it's important to reward yourself, and it can be a source of motivation to keep going.
In that case, how about a health-conscious ice cream that's good for you and low in calories?
I'd like to review the new Häagen-Dazs GREEN CRAFT mini cup, Hojicha Kuromitsu, which was released on Tuesday, September 3, 2024!
As a Japanese-style "reward ice cream" that brings joy to both the mind and body, I was very curious about its taste!
So What Is GREEN CRAFT?
The GREEN CRAFT is a Häagen-Dazs ice cream made with a soy milk base, a popular plant-based milk used as a replacement for cow's milk.
It's said that a blend of two types of soy milk—one that is creamy and rich, and another that is light and refreshing—achieves a smooth texture and rich flavor.
Indeed, the word soy milk is on the package, which is not found on traditional Häagen-Dazs!
The gentle shade of pink on the package feels like it's comforting a weary heart.
This would be easy for health-conscious people to pick up, wouldn't it?
Check the Nutrition Facts!
Now that we've checked the package, let's look at the nutrition facts!
Per serving (110 ml)...
- Calories: 198 kcal
- Protein: 3.4 g
- Fat: 5.2 g
- Carbohydrates: 34.2 g
- Sodium: 0.1 g
The calories are lower compared to the classic vanilla and green tea flavors.
This definitely lessens the guilt!
When You Open the Lid...
After checking the nutrition facts, let's open it up!
It should be ready to eat by now.
When you open the lid, the kuromitsu (black sugar syrup) surrounds the hojicha (roasted green tea) ice cream in the center...!
With this, you can eat it all without any unevenness.
Reika Eats!
Reika has been working out for TGS (Tokyo Game Show) lately.
Her stomach has been famished from carb restriction and not being able to drink energy drinks, so she'll try it with the name of a review!
"It's so satisfying!"
The taste is a rich and creamy hojicha flavor that you wouldn't expect from something that uses soy milk.
The kuromitsu isn't as sweet as I thought it would be, and its flavor enhances the fragrant hojicha.
I think even people who don't like soy milk could eat this ice cream!
And since it's low in calories, I think it's perfect for a break from dieting!
Häagen-Dazs GREEN CRAFT "Hojicha Kuromitsu" is on sale for a limited time at supermarkets, convenience stores, and department stores nationwide!
