It\u2019s not the Blizzard of the Month for September though, as the retread Pumpkin Pie Blizzard gets that title, even though that version seems better suited for October or November. <\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dairy-Queen-Harvest-Berry-Pie-Blizzard-3.jpg?resize=600%2C606&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Harvest Berry Pie Blizzard 3\" title=\"Dairy Queen Harvest Berry Pie Blizzard 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"606\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Berry good. I mean very good. Of course, my Blizzard looked nothing like the promotional photo with plump berries happily swimming with their pie piece friends in an ice cream vortex. I could only find one near-intact berry on top, but there were plenty of berry pieces throughout and the crunch of the pie pieces added a nice texture to the softness of the fruit. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dairy-Queen-Harvest-Berry-Pie-Blizzard-2.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Harvest Berry Pie Blizzard 2\" title=\"Dairy Queen Harvest Berry Pie Blizzard 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It would be interesting to see how this Blizzard tastes with just one or two types of berries mixed in because the combination of all three creates an indistinct, somewhat tart berry flavor. What flavor is it? Is purple berry a flavor? It\u2019s not a bad flavor. It\u2019s just nothing special. Even when I got a decent size chunk of fruit in a bite, it was hard to tell which one it was with the other two berries also fighting for the attention of my taste buds.  <\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>You might think that with three types of fruit this Blizzard would be healthier than other DQ concoctions. Well, you\u2019d be wrong. I guess it doesn\u2019t matter what you mix in with soft serve and pie pieces because the result is going to be a high-calorie and high-carb sugar bomb. Even though this looks more like a smoothie than a Blizzard, nutritionally speaking it\u2019s about the same as the ones loaded up with chocolate and candy. And most smoothies are not that healthy either. If you\u2019ve ever looked at the nutritional info, they are also packed with sugar and carbs, which is precisely why they taste so good. <\/p>\n<p>And as the photos attest, my local DQ apparently has no mini Blizzard cups, nor did they last time I visited. The coffee cup certainly did the job to insulate my treat and keep it from melting, but it\u2019s still a bit off-putting to see a picture of steaming coffee as I wolf down a Blizzard.  <\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>You can safely order this Blizzard without fear of having your mind blown, socks knocked off, world being rocked or other clich\u00e9 of your choice, but the Harvest Berry Pie Blizzard is a nice change of pace if you are looking for something without chocolate and candy that will give you or your loved ones the false impression that you are trying to eat something healthy. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> Mini<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (Mini) 380 calories, 16 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 190 milligrams of sodium, 52 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 39 grams of sugar, and 7 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Harvest Berry Pie Blizzard?
