Satisfying yet low calorie♡ 7-11’s mango and melon ice cream bar

Today, I would like to introduce the “as if” series ice cream bars available from 7-11, that really hit the spot but are low calorie. This is especially for those who are trying to fight the heat on a hot day but are concerned with their calorie intake.

“As if eating a frozen mango” ice cream bar

First, I would like to introduce the “As if eating a frozen mango” ice cream bar from 7-11.
Whenever the “As if” series ice cream bar is on sale, without a doubt it will be a popular item.
The other day when I went to 7-11, I happened to chance upon the mango flavor so I bought one to try.

The ice cream bar not only has the same deep orangey yellow color as a mango would have, it also has the same kind of smell. Also, it has such a soft and fleshy texture that it feels like you are eating a real mango.

On top of having a similar texture, the ice cream bar also tastes like real mango. Taking a bite, a rich fruity sweetness will fill your mouth, and even after swallowing the ice cream, a sweet after taste will continue to linger. Actually, 25% of the ice cream bar is made up of alphonso mango juice, so it is no wonder why it tastes like delicious mango.

Despite being quite a big portion, the calorie count is only 122kcal; the mango ice cream bar has a relatively low calorie count for an ice cream. Compared to other ice creams, the mango ice cream bar is the perfect choice for a light yet refreshing chilled snack.
Each “As if eating a frozen mango” ice cream bar is 140yen (tax incl.).

“As if eating a frozen melon” ice cream bar

Next I would like to introduce the “As if eating a frozen melon” ice cream bar.

Unlike the mango flavor which is a standard, the melon flavored ice cream bar is quite rare. So, if you see it at 7-11 you should buy one straight away.

Taking the ice cream bar out from the packaging, a strong melon smell fills the air. As for the texture and taste……

Just like the mango flavor ice cream bar, it feels like you are eating the real thing. Although it has a slightly fleshier texture than real melon, it is very similar and you would not think that it is an ice cream bar. Again, the strong sweetness and the rich and satisfying after taste can be attributed to the fact that the ice cream bar is made up of 30% melon juice. The large portion and the rich fruity sweetness of the ice cream is bound to satisfy your desert urges.
Each “As if eating a frozen melon” ice cream bar is 149yen (tax incl.), and 129kcal.
Above, are 2 of 7-11 “As if” series ice cream bars. Both are refreshing, fruit flavored ice cream bars perfect for those hot summer days. In addition to the 2 flavors introduced today, the “As if” series ice cream bars also have the kiwi flavor, peach flavor, pineapple flavor and banana flavor. If you see them at 7-11, please, buy one to try. I am sure you will be moved by the experience.
