##Cookie Dough

* Buttery brown sugar ice cream: an old fashioned vanilla taste that typically complements cookie dough ice cream. It’s a familiar flavor but not the same because the ice cream has less than half the amount of sugar as ice cream of a similar weight (90 grams per 2/3 cup). So the flavor was weaker, but it wasn’t bland because I could taste the whole milk. (Like a glass of unsweetened whole milk.) Plus also a bit of whey protein powder taste as the ice cream has 3x the amount of protein than usual with added whey protein isolate.  
* Cookie dough pieces: smaller than average, like half size of Ben and Jerry’s cookie dough. But a nice, rich, buttery taste, with good chew. Less amount than I wanted, but an ok amount for a health food ice cream that, importantly, doesn’t sacrifice taste. 
* Chocolate chips: plentiful! Small to medium size. Lots of crunch. 
* Texture: pretty much like regular ice cream, but a little nicer because of the egg yolks (in addition to gums). This is an airy ice cream as it physically feels light in my hand. But it has nice body. Isn’t super sticky. It’s very firm or very soft but a nice middle ground leaning towards density. 

RATING: 7/10. This cookie dough ice cream half tastes like health food ice cream, and half tastes like decent cookie dough ice cream. For the person on a diet looking to indulge but who also won’t mind skimpy bits of cookie dough, this is the ice cream for you. For the person not on a diet, it won’t be as satisfying though not a total bummer either. This ice cream is a compromise, but an ok one. 


##Peanut Butter Chip 

* Peanut butter ice cream - pretty satisfying first bite like a salty peanut butter. Has some depth and darkness. But then it does become weaker like a whole milk taste instead of peanut butter. Does not really have a protein powder taste like the Cookie Dough ice cream. Side note: I did think it was odd how pale the ice cream was despite the bold flavor. The same color as the other pint. 
* Chocolate chips: the exact same taste and amount as in the cookie dough ice cream. A satisfying, crunchy chocolate chip. 
* Texture: the same as the cookie dough ice cream. Or perhaps a bit thicker. 

RATING: 7.5/10. A pretty good salty peanut butter that hangs up there with most salty peanut butter flavors. But not the most indulgent or the most thick or rich. Closer to regular ice cream than the Cookie Dough flavor as I don’t detect a protein powder taste as much. I wish it did have something extra going on such as larger chocolate chips 

##Which would I recommend 

The Peanut Butter Chip has bolder flavor that was the least suspicious. But the Cookie Dough has the tiny bit of cookie dough it has which were small but pretty good. I recommend the Peanut Butter Chip but also think the Cookie Dougj is fairly ok. 


Protein Pints: Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter Chip. Not bad. . .
