    Found this on sale at Burlington Coat Factory in the food section.

    I have to say, I was disappointed. It's zero cals for three pumps of foam, but the foam dissipates quite quickly. Reminds me of egg whites that aren't beaten to "stiff peaks" if that makes sense. The flavor was okay and - I may have imagined it - actually had a very subtle whiskey taste.

    I have the birthday cake version of the foam topping, and I agree, it wasn't as nice as I expected. I do still enjoy mine, though - I mix it with greek yogurt and it gives the yogurt more of a whipped and frothy texture, which I really like.

    These are really good. I like the mini size. They have a nice tart flavor to them. My daughter loves them too.

    Where do they sell these??!?!? I love black raspberry!!

    Anyone ever try this brand? Weis had it in the vegan/dairy free section

    I never thought I'd see the day where a company would combine my favorite thing (cotton candy) with my least favorite thing (beets) in a dessert I eat regularly every single night... I've never felt so ambivalent in my life... please take the leap of faith for us and try it, then report back!

    If it ever goes down in price I might take one for the team (it was $6.99).

    I tried this the other day & couldn't put my finger on why it tasted off/funny to me. I remembered how you said you hated a lot of stuff that had pea protein in it & I looked at the ingredients & sure enough it was listed on there.

    It gave me the same sick feeling that the No Cow bars did like the ice cream was grown or ran into dirt.

    It still tasted better than this pint that I bought at Grocery Outlet months ago.

    Yup, that's most likely pea protein you're dealing with then! Not good stuff haha, although the new No Cow Energy Bars, in my opinion, are a lot better than their regular protein bars (it still has pea protein, but I think a lot less of it). If you're looking for a vegan ice cream personally I've been blown away with Enlightened's dairy free lineup, which has NO pea protein in it thank goodness!!! It's amazing!

    As for that black sesame pint... have you had other black sesame flavored products before? I wonder if they just executed it poorly, or if you just don't like the taste of black sesame... because I have a weakness for Asian flavors of ice cream o.o Black sesame, taro, pandan, basically anything besides durian and red bean. For the longest time I couldn't stop buying the Black Sesame pints by Mr. Green Tea until I started going out to lunch more with my friends and no longer had the extra calories left at night for it! :/


    @pancakerunner I got an email from Arctic Zero about their light ice cream pints now being available at Walmart! I thought Halo Top had an agreement that Walmart could not sell competing low calorie ice cream pints? Is this an exception since it doesn't have as much protein, or has that agreement expired?
    I'm shocked, but honestly looking forward to the possibility of finally finding more of their toffee crunch light ice cream which is easily my absolute favorite out of all their flavors! I can only dream of the day Halo Top releases a toffee flavored pint (or cotton candy, still waiting on that one *cough cough*)

    I saw/bought the Artic Zero toffee crunch light ice cream today at my Walmart because of this post! I will try it tonight and report back. I've never tried Artic Zero before, but I love most Enlightened, Halo Top, and Archer Farms. I'm hoping this doesn't disappoint!

    Is Arctic Zero reformulated? I recall it being terrible and flavorless in the past, but I also heard they improved on the recipe some time ago. Is it more like Halo Top now?

    The DAIRY pints are more like Halo Top. Pretty sure the non dairy uses the old recipe... maybe some minor tweaks?

    Cool, I'll have to try it when it goes on sale, then.

    I actually like the taste of the Yoplait flips better & they’re quite a bit less calories. Very Berry Crunch is AMAZING!!!

    These were better than expected. More like a cookie in texture. I was expecting them to be like a larabar. I liked the chocolate almond the best. I wouldn’t buy unless they were super cheap though. They were good but not amazing. nwc7h78nyzxn.jpeg

    I think the non-dairy switched to faba bean protein, and the protein content subsequently dropped. I kinda gave up on them then and switched brands, couldn't (for me!) justify the cost for so much sugar and so little else. I've heard it's good, though.

    Loved these! I liked the frosting layer on the bottom. This was the first flavor of the Olly cookies I've tried. It was denser than Lenny and Larry cookies and the texture is more oatmeal cookie like. Really sweet. I think I like better than lenny and larry birthday cake because I love the addition of the frosting.

    This sample bar I got was really good. I expected it to be like cookie dough balance bar but it was light and airy in the middle with a nice chocolate coating. I guess the plant based version is new. h73kjkh2a4rv.jpeg

    Thanks for the pic of the olly cookies - been wanting to try, but wasn't quite ready to take the leap without actually seeing what they looked like!

    They're good but kinda small for the calories and don't keep me as full as a protein bar

    Agreed. I'll probably stick to the MusclePharm Cookies when I have time to wait on the shipment, but it's good to get these locally in a pinch, when I want a cookie!

    Also @hgycta maybe they changed the recipe a little or maybe they are one of those small companies where every batch is a little different. Mine tasted very different from the peanut butter. It was way more of a chocolate than peanut butter taste.

    I usually don’t go for yogurt because of how tart it can be, but I tried some Brown Cow yogurt and it was sooo good. Creamy. I loved it. As far as products I’ve seen and want- Cadbury has a new chocolate peanut cookie chocolate bar that I want to try although that is quite solidly a junk food.

    These are really good. I love the chocolate one. I posted about them in the past when they had samples. I always get a few samples every time they offer, lol. Definitely worth trying! I think it is kind of dumb they market them as liver health barrs. They would be so much more popular and sell more if they just marketed them as protein/snack/health bars.

    A bunch of freebie sites posted the link so it will be hard to get. I would recommend doing what I did. I just messaged them asking nicely for a sample on facebook and they took my address ;)

    I’ve been enjoying these. Nice flavor, zero calories and a little pick me up in the afternoons with the caffeine.

    I need these! Peanut butter banana is my jam!

    I don’t think it’s peanut butter banana, I think it’s peanut butter and marshmallow... but that being said, if you haven’t tried peanut butter with marshmallow before it’s WAY better than banana!!! I’m drooling o:
