Blue Bell flavors

56 Comments

We get alot of questions about Blue Bell Ice cream flavors especially during the summer months when eveyrbody is in search for a cool down treat. There is no better ice cream to buy at the store than the Blue Bell brand, for the fortunate we get to buy Blue Bell all year round depending on which flavors are released.

The Blue Bell factory puts different flavors into a rotation depending on the time of year. This is probably not only for quality control but also because it is not realistic for a company to offer dozens and dozens of flavors when they know which ones we want and which ones are more popular.

So direct from the Blue Bell Website I have the list of roational ice cream flavors that will start the beginning of June and will continue in rotation for 3 months. The website indicates that rtoations occur on a 3 month cycle, so in another 3 months look out for different flavors that will last another 3 months.

Note: These are not all the flavors offered, this is just a list of flavors that begin June 2010.

  • **Century Sundae – Gold Rim

Our most popular ice cream, Homemade Vanilla, swirled with caramel and chocolate sauces, a whipped       topping and diced maraschino cherries.

  • **Strawberry Cheesecake – Gold Rim

Rich cheesecake ice cream with succulent strawberries and swirls of delicious, strawberry sundae sauce.

  • **Triple Caramel – Brown Rim

Delicious caramel ice cream mixed with chocolate-coated caramel cups and a creamy caramel sauce.

  • **Vanilla Cookies ‘n Cream – Gold Rim

A creamy vanilla ice cream with chunks of delicious vanilla crème cookies.

Of course there are many flavors that stay in inventory all year round, probably the most popular and most demanding and versatile. These popular flavors of ice cream probably include vanilla, buttered pecan, and chocolate among others.

wheat germ

11 Comments

Wheat germ might be just the thing you are looking for if you are wanting to start out the new year on a healthy note. I use this food additive a few times a week and can tell you that you don’t even notice it in your food.

Wheat germ is a light and fluffy flaky type substance that you can sprinkle on almost any food you want. It is pretty much flavorless in the recommended serving size and is noted for being an excellent source of Vitamin E among other vitamins.

On cold mornings when I eat hot cereal I stir it into the mix and get the added vitamins into my diet. You can sprinkle it on top of your dinner, salad, fish, beef, anything! There are even suggestions of baking with it, although I do not know the effects this would have on your recipe, so experimentation would have to be conducted.

There are two flavors offered by the brand we use, which is linked on this website. There is an original, which to me is flavorless if you mix it into your meal. The other is a honey flavored that I have not tried.

Wheat germ has many vitamins that you might want to get on that healthy diet kick for the new year! It’s not that expensive and is almost unnoticeable in food. This might be a good way to sneak in extra vitamins to your loved ones when you cook for them! Check out the referenced website for the wheat germ product.

Which gum flavor last the longest?

Which flavor of gum last the longest?

Currently there is a brand of gum that advertises as having a “ridiculously long lasting gum.”

The brand is Stride Gum, and they have a number of gum flavors to choose from:

Sweet Cinnamon, forever fruit, sweet berry, nonstop mint, always mandarin, spearmint, and sweet peppermint.

We don’t really have much proof on who has the longest lasting flavors of gum, we can only rely on the research each company does for their own gum brand. And as we all know most companies are biased to, well, to their own company. But if I had to try a gum to see how long it lasts I would start here, at Stride. If they say it lasts long, it better last long!

Ovaltine flavors!

Ovaltine flavors and vitamins.

I was looking for an alternative to regular chocolate milk that might be a little bit healthier. The chocolate milk I was buying was 15% saturated fat, so I switched to the 1% chocolate milk.  There is however another option – ovaltine.  Ovaltine isa powedery mix that is added to milk for flavor.  Ovaltine is also popular because it comes fortified with vitamins and minerals – in one of the flavors up to 12 vitamins and minerals, including Vitamins A, C, D, E, Thiamin, Calcium, Niacin, Riboflavin, and Phosphorus amoung others!  Originally known as ov0maltine, it was originally advertised as being “malt, milk, eggs, flavored with cocoa”.

Today, the three flavors of ovaltine are rich chocolate mix  (this is the newest of the flavors, it gives milk a nice chocolate flavor), chocolate malt mix, and classic malt mix.

Ovaltine flavors and vitamins.

I was looking for an alternative to regular chocolate milk that might be a little bit healthier. The chocolate milk I was buying was 15% saturated fat, so I switched to the 1% chocolate milk that contained  8% saturated fat. I am not a health nut but I do realize that cutting back in the saturated fat in one area will help a little especially since the chocolate milk is more of a luxury item, and the fact that I buy ice cream on a regular basis. So I picked up a can of Ovaltine Rich Chocolate Malt flavor while browsing the aisles of the beverage section of the grocery store. I am not from the generation that grew up drinking ovaltine on a regular basis, in fact I had not even had a taste of it until I bought this can. I had only heard of it and was curious, I was looking for chocolate, and looking for “healthier” and this seemed to fit what I wanted. So I got home and mixed the 4tbs of ovaltine with a glass of 2% milk. I was expecting a malt taste, and was expecting chocolate, but was surprised to find that it was actually more of a “grown up persons” taste. The malt is very subtle, but you can taste it in there, then you get the chocolate which is also subtle. The two flavors actually mix together nicely. No after taste, not addictive,  and “healthy- er! Of course the 15% saturated fat chocolate milk I was drinking tasted better, there is no doubt, it’s rich, creamy, chocolaty, you can’t beat it! But the benefits of the ovaltine outweigh the traditional chocolate milk. The ovaltine packs in atleast 10 different vitamins and nutrients including:

Vitamin A, C, D , E, calcium, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin, and Niacin. 

That is a few of the benefits to the ovaltine drink. This is a good alternative to anybody thinking they need a change in the chocolate milk routine, atleast try it. And for those who have had tried it, maybe one of the people who grew up drinking it but didn’t like it, try it again! A comment made to me form oen who used to drink this is that, “it never tasted that good before.” So maybe it’s worth another try.

The Ovaltine website  provides 3 different flavors of the ovaltine  powdered drink. Ovaltine Classic Malt Mix, Ovaltine Chocolate Malt Mix, Ovaltine Rich Chocolate malt mix.
