In my area (Richmond Virginia), one grocery store chain carries Carb Smart yogurt but not Carb Smart ice cream. Another chain carries the ice cream but not the yogurt. The biggest chain store in the area (selection wise) carries neither. Of course, "Gluten Free" is everywhere and so is "Low Fat" and "Fat Free". Except in the area of "real food" it is slim picking for low carb items at a grocery store.

What we did was we bought an inexpensive ice cream maker (a 'freeze the bowl overnight' kind -- $60 or so on Amazon). There are plenty of LC ice cream recipes out there and we find the homemade stuff to be just as good or better than the Carb Smart store bought ice cream. I like to keep the sweet treats to a minimum, so we only make it about once a month. When I have it, I do enjoy it. But unlike the sugar loaded kind, I can stop at one serving for the day. For me, it does not fire off any carb cravings.
