Hey babes!
Let's talk ice cream 🍦
Every one loves ice cream and to help you guys know which mint chocolate chip is the best we took it upon ourselves to taste test 4 popular brands and a generic brand to see if we could distinguish between them.
Flavor taste tests are one of my favorite things to do on MomFit and it is one we have only done 3 times. We did a bottled water taste test, a hot chocolate taste test, and this one which was my favorite of course-the mint chocolate chip ice cream taste test.
(I will link the videos for the others in the bottom of this post.)
Melissa and I did this taste test because we wanted to know what the hype was with the price difference between ice cream brands. There are many brands and they range from $3 to upwards of $6. Is the extra money worth the flavor? As soon as we saw ice cream go on sale we jumped in the car and bought ourselves 5 cartons!
Sounds like a lot? It was! But it was for our followers so it was ok 😜
We had someone separate the ice cream in different bowls and hand them to us one by one.
We rated them from 1 to 5 in 6 categories.
Creaminess
Mintiness
Chip Size
Chip Flavor
Chip Texture
Overall Taste
We also had to guess which brand we were tasting. At the end of all 5 flavors the brands were revealed as were our top rated brands.

Starting from the lowest rated and ending with the top.
#5 Halo
Not surprising that the diet ice cream didn't taste the best. Less sugar and fat to make this acceptable to eat with a healthy lifestyle. This ice cream is the most expensive given the quantity to price ratio. During the taste test we both guessed this ice cream correctly.
#4 Breyers
We were both surprised that Breyers was second to last on our list. It is a more well known brand and one of the more expensive ones. It lost most points because of the chop flavor. It also was not as minty as we personally prefer. We described it as more of a vanilla ice cream with andes mints chips.
#3 Edy's
Again another top brand in the bottom 3. Natasha liked the chip size and texture of this ice cream but the flavor was not as strong as she liked. This ice cream was creamy but a bit gritty. This lost points on the amount of mintiness we could taste.
#2 Turkey Hill
This was a brand that I hadn't heard of before and didn't know what to expect out of it. This is a more average ice cream brand as in not the top of the line. The price was decent and it often has a coupon. We both really loved how minty this one was which helped give it such a high score. It lost some points on the flavor of the chips but everything else had a high score.
#1 Generic Brand (Food Club)
Our favorite in all categories and the highest scoring ice cream by over 5 points was the off brand! We were both shocked that the one we can get for the cheapest was our favorite. One reason this one did so well is because the chips were big, dark chocolate flavored, and crunchy. If there was one thing we could do to improve this ice cream would be to add more chips.
We were not paid to give an opinion on any of these brands nor are we affiliated with any of them. This was done just for fun and to help us pick the best brand next time.
