New ice cream offers surprising benefits

“Two former Ben & Jerry’s flavor developers walk into a room and they meet some noted nutritionists…”
It’s not the beginning of a joke. It’s the real story behind Brio ice cream, one of Hawaii’s newest, coolest and healthiest food products.
Brio began as an idea dreamed up by organic food pioneers Arnie and Ron Koss, the co-founders of Earth’s Best Baby Foods. The twin brothers, who both lived on Maui at the time, had the vision of transforming ice cream into a high quality, healthy and smartly nutritious treat.
Cue the Ben & Jerry’s former flavor guys for the delicious part. And the nutritionists… well, you know.
The team worked at it for more than a decade. The result is Brio, now available in five rich flavors at your neighborhood grocery store in Hawaii.
Brio is available in the freezer aisle of local supermarkets, and it’s every bit as delicious, smooth, creamy and satisfying as super-premium ice cream brands.
Brio is made with fresh r-BST-free milk from Wisconsin dairy farms, combined with real Alphonso mangoes, ripe strawberries, roasted coffee, dark cocoa, Madagascar vanilla and organic salted caramel for rich, vivid flavors.
Special bonus: Brio is non GMO and certified gluten free. Brio has no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners.
If the words “ice cream” bring to mind long compensatory hours on the treadmill, you’ll happily note that Brio has only 160 to 170 calories in a single serving, about 25% less than comparable flavors of super premium ice cream. Brio also has half the total fat and 65 percent less saturated fat.
Brio goes beyond “guilt free.” Arnie Koss, who still lives on Maui, describes Brio as “ice cream with benefits” because Brio offers so much to support wellness.
Start with protein. 6 grams in Brio.
Calcium? Brio has it covered, with 30% of your recommended daily amount, plus 45% of your Vitamin D and 20% of your magnesium.
Antioxidants. Yep, Brio is rich in them.
B Vitamins? Check.
Healthy Omega 3-6-9s? Got that covered, too.
All essential minerals? Yes, yes, yes.
So for a morning boost or a post-workout replenishment, enjoy a cold, creamy bowl of Brio. Or get out the MagicBullet, toss in a banana, some Brio and some almond milk and you’re smartly powered.
Concerned that your afternoon coffee drink is weighing you down with too may empty calories? Try Brio’s Coffee Latte as a refreshing alternative.
Tired of munching on a nutrition bar when you’re too busy for a meal? Chill with Brio’s Mellow Dark Chocolate, Spring Strawberry, Vanilla-Salted Caramel or Tropical Mango.
Of course, Brio is perfect for a dessert that won’t leave you saying, “Why did I eat that?”
Fortunately, being in Hawaii, we’re among the first in the nation to fall in love with Brio. You can find Brio in all Foodland locations, at Don Quijote stores on Oahu, at KTA Superstores on The Big Island and Pukalani Superette, Island Grocery Depot and Haiku Grocery Store on Maui.
