Halo Top iced cream

I bought and kept some pints in the freezer for about two weeks. Found this thread and decided to go for the pint of chocolate last night. I gotta say I was impressed. I love ice cream, but my go to Hagen Daz Chocolate and Peanut butter is probably 1000 cals/pint, so this is a great substitute! After reading y'alls comments I'm looking forward to trying lemon cake and birthday cake. Its great to find a filling snack to satisfy my sweet tooth that's not a calorie bomb1

I just tried the Arctic Zero Cookie Dough Chip and I gotta say I like it better than Halo Top in my opinion. Maybe because I'm obsessed with cookie dough and Halo Top doesn't really have many flavors that really stand out like crazy. Halo Top is still better than the non-chunky Arctic Zero flavors though
Cookie Dough Chip really set the bar high 0 -
I got the chocolate halo top and softened it in the microwave and it tastes like chocolate mousse! So that's dinner. I'm gonna go broke on the stuff...
I will try the chunky Artic Zero eventually.1 -

Has anyone actually weighed out a pint? I haven't been weighing out my pre-packaged stuff lately but I need to buckle down a bit. Just wondering how the weight comes in compared to what the package says.
My strawberry was exact to the gram.

Mine have always been lighter but I just log a pint anyway.0 -
Like with any other food taste is subjective, I happen to like Halo Top and I don't get an after taste....stevia is not an artificial sweetener, you can grow the plant and use the leaves yourself to sweeten what ever you like. Sugar alcohol I've not dealt with much, but it didn't seem to bother me. That being said, I also love brussel sprouts and some people think they are nasty little bitter thing....so not everyone will like Halo Top.0

I got the aftertaste on one pint out of four. It was my second, so it put me off for a while though!0 -
I found the Halo Top and my grocer yesterday and bought the lemon. I also bought a pint of Thrive. I haven't tried either yet but will do so tonight. I am hoping they are both good because today is HOT and HUMID...ugh0

I had to look up Thrive since I've never heard of it. Apparently they only have it in a few places in NYC. I looked up the nutritional facts and the calorie count is no good compared to Halo Top, Arctic Zero, or Enlightened, even the No Added Sugar versions. Macro wise, all it has is a bit of extra protein, so I'm not exactly sure what they're aiming for. As it turns out, it has sulfates in it so I can't eat it anyway.0 -
I just tried Halo Top this week, and basically feel like it is a pretty good alternative. They didn't have all the flavor a so I got mint chip and birthday cake. The mint has a very good mint flavor, my only caveat is that it is a little sweeter than I would like. The birthday cake flavor is just OK - I think it is more effected by the over-sweetness. Both had a good, creamy consistency. I'm hoping to try the vanilla and lemon cake next.0

Well, it is in Milwaukee too. I just bought it because it was chocolate....there was no Halo Top chocolate... and because it said "tastes like real ice cream". (I'm a sucker for advertising) The AZ I don't like

I like my ice cream. I think I need to go to the store and buy some. Is it low fat or calories. I Alway have my ice cream late at night. I know it a bad habit, but I always think about it. Till I have it.0

I like taking the Halo Top Vanilla Bean and adding some PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter in it...1

I'll second this! I did this with the Chocolate Halo Top and loved it. I also like taking the Chocolate Mocha Chip and sprinkling cinnamon on it or topping it with roasted cinnamon chickpeas.0 -
Aaaand after reading this thread I promptly drove to Kroger for a few pints1
-
I couldn't believe how good the vanilla bean was after I microwaved it for 45 seconds. Going to try the lemon tonight!0
-
I tried Halo Top Birthday Cake today and I like it much better than Lemon. No after taste to me. I microwaved it on 50% power for 30 seconds. Delish!0
-
I finally tried the chocolate mocha chocolate chip... but unfortunately ended up spending some time in the bathroom afterwards again.
So I guess that's the end of my love story with Halo Top. Sigh.1 -
I'm thankful I have to drive across town to buy Halo Top, otherwise I'd eat t every day. The vanilla bean is far the best followed by mint chocolate chip. Mocha is good, lemon cake was yucky. Personally, I'm sticking with Yasso -- can't do as much damage with a 100 calorie bar, and no artificial sweetener aftermath.1

Glad it's not just me, lol. It's just a bit much of a coincidence that it seemed to happen 2 (or 3) times out of the 5 times I had some, considering that I typically don't have any issues in that aspect otherwise.
Enlightened doesn't seem to do that to me but frankly I just don't think it's worth the calories anymore, sadly.0 -
I like Halo Top, but Halo Top doesn't like me. Between the lactose that defies lactaid and the sugar alcohols... it's just not happening for me any more.
It was fun while it lasted, Mint Chocolate Chip.0 -
Love this stuff! I live in MN and get it at a local chain called Kowalski's but for $6.99 per pint there is guilt involved!1
-
Halo top is yummy the Birthday cake is my fav by far. My husband is obsessed with Arctic zero salted caramel. Arctic zero is ok, not too bad, but the Halo Top birthday cake is the bomb. (Note: Halo top has about twice as many calories as Arctic zero 280 per pint compared to 140)0

So I went to Whole Foods today and bought the mint chip and chocolate ones, and it's way better than Arctic Zero! So much more like actual ice cream. I put it in one of those 10 calorie ice cream cones so I don't eat the entire pint lol
What 10 calories ice cream cones are you referring to? this sounds too good to be true LOL0 -
I was planning to go to Whole Foods today! I'd never been before, and we had a presentation at work about the store. How much is it?0
-
I've been trying to find these but I can't! Have you (or anyone who sees this) had Arctic Zero? Does it taste similar or better?
I just checked and the Whole Foods near me has them. If you don't have it locally, they have an option to buy online.

Halo Top has a new Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor but it's not widely distributed yet. So far people have reported seeing it at Kroger. Has anyone tried it?0
-
I must be the only person on earth who dislikes this stuff. Bought the lemon flavor a few weeks ago as that's all that was in stock. Took two bites and it promptly went in the trash.0
