Arctic Zero, an ice-cream-like frozen dessert in delectable flavors like chocolate peanut butter and mint chocolate cookies, has only 150 calories and no saturated fat per pint. Yes, you read that correctly: You can eat the whole pint for just 150 calories, which means each half-cup serving actually has only 37 calories.
What is most surprising to me is that the entire pint of Arctic Zero® is only 150 calories…..that’s right, the ENTIRE pint and not per serving! What a great way to enjoy a frozen treat without having any guilt.
But with its unique ingredients and shockingly low calorie count, is Arctic Zero healthy? The creamy pints with no mix-ins contain only 150 calories, while the ones with mix-ins go up to 250. Compared to a typical Ben & Jerry’s pint, they’re just 14-24% of the calories.
One of the first big companies to hit the shelves was Arctic Zero, and it’s advertised as a healthy alternative to ice cream. But with its unique ingredients and shockingly low calorie count, is Arctic Zero healthy? The creamy pints with no mix-ins contain only 150 calories, while the ones with mix-ins go up to 250.
Arctic Zero was understandably upset about the report, and had their products retested by the same laboratory named in the Today Show report, publishing the results publicly. Turns out that the calories were well within the FDA stipulated 20% allowance. In their case, each sample came within just a few calories of the 36 calorie label guidelines.
As for ingredients, Arctic Zero is mainly composed of water, whey protein concentrate in the form of milk, sugar, and chicory root. One of the most appealing aspects of Arctic Zero is its low calorie count. All of the creamy pints contain 100 less calories than one serving of Ben & Jerry’s Vanilla.

Is Arctic Zero healthy? Yes and no. Although it doesn’t taste like traditional ultra-rich and creamy ice cream, but it can satisfy a craving. It might not be Phish Food or Cherry Garcia (I’m a big Ben & Jerry’s fan), but the fit frozen desserts sure have a space in my heart.
Consumer Reports pointed out that Arctic Zero’s message might be a bit flawed. They’re encouraging people to gorge themselves on multiple servings of ice cream. Just because the pint can be eaten in one serving does not mean you should. All foods should still be consumed in moderation. Before you know it, your little treat could turn into a big disaster.
From an average person’s perspective, Arctic Zero products are a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth without ruining a diet. However, if you’re a bit picky, there are a few questionable things.
One of the most appealing aspects of Arctic Zero is its low calorie count. All of the creamy pints contain 100 less calories than one serving of Ben & Jerry’s Vanilla. Why have one serving when you can have them all for a lesser amount of calories?
