I love the new peanut butter, oatmeal cookie and salted caramel flavors. My favorite of the older flavors is mint chocolate chip.
how does one get over lactose intolerance?
I get it intermittently when I have gastric issues. It passes. It might be something else, but for now, that's what my doctor has agreed to call it. I have the classic symptoms of it when a few things happen.
I have celiac disease and experience it when I'm exposed to gluten.
This last bout was due to having to take antibiotics. That was bad. It lasted almost a year.
Sounds like secondary lactose intolerance. I only have it when my Crohn's or IBS is flaring (which is most of the time lol) but if my gut is happy lactose is OK.
I had to look that up. Sure sounds exactly like what it is.0 -

I could never figure out why once in a while lactose was OK until my RD who is an expert in GI disorders mentioned it.0 -
I've tried the vanilla. My grocery store only had three flavors the first time I bought it, but I saw more the other night. Will be revisiting, especially if I can find the mint chip and s'mores. Just have to remember to NOT eat the entire pint in one sitting this time... I'm not usually sensitive to artificial sweeteners, but the next day or so was, uh, unfortunate.0

I desperately wanted to like this, but it's not for me. The texture is all weird to me. Like eating Dippin Dots but not as satisfying.0

Sugar alcohols are like that. Case in point:Haribo sugar free gummy bears1 -
I tried the birthday cake when I randomly found it in the wrong freezer section at my grocery store. I could never find it again so I went to Costco and got their 4 pack of vanilla. I love putting it in shakes.1

i love the new flavors! oatmeal cookie and red velvet are a couple of my favs, along with cookies & cream! yum! i still need to try pistachio! oh, and the caramel flavor is delish too.0
-
I was going to get some to try but it's pricey so I'll stick with regular ice cream. I don't have it often anyway & have 1/2C of it1

Another minority report: Tried multiple flavors. It tasted OK to me (not fabulous, just OK), but it was curiously unsatisfying - like eating something of no substance that left a flavor in my mouth, such as sugarless gum. Not worth its small number of calories, to me. I'd rather wait longer and have (say) a serving of a real-er slow-churned ice cream every few days, vs. Halo Top daily. Or just eat fruit. <shrug>0

From least favorite to favorite:- Chocolate Almond Crunch
- Cookies & Cream
- Black Cherry
- Cookie Dough
- Strawberry
- Red Velvet
- Mocha Chip
- Lemon Cake
- Sea Salt Caramel
- Pistachio
- Birthday Cake
- S'mores
- Oatmeal Cookie
- Chocolate
- Vanilla
- Mint Chip
- PB Cup
I do agree that it's rather expensive (even when on sale for $3.99), and there's really no reason why it should be. Blue Bunny and Kemps also have great sugar free options for far cheaper. Regardless, my freezer is overflowing with Halo Top.
@joshperson195 why is PB cup waay down the bottom
That was the only one i wanted to try. I'm a huge peanut butter fan though, which could be a good or bad thing depending how closely it resembles PB..
@Christine_72 The list goes from least favorite to favorite. AKA Peanut Butter is my favorite!
Oh Phew, thankyou :bigsmile:0 -

PB is my favorite actually.0 -
I haven't tried the pb yet but I have it in my freezer.
Whole Foods has Halo Top on sale, btw.

I don't have enough freezer space for that kind of deal!
Kroger usually has a good sale price tho.1 -
Never heard of this before, off to Google!
eta store down the road carries it but only the basic flavors, bummer!0 -
Birthday Cake for the win!! Just awaiting my Whole Foods to get the Cookie Dough and Salted Caramel flavors.0

So I tried the peanut butter cup and it's good but...I think it needs more peanut buttery pieces. Mine's been scarce so far.1

There aren't supposed to be any peanut butter pieces, just swirls. My pints have always been plentiful with the PB swirls. I do enjoy the malt-like base flavor but I think chocolate chunks would make it 1000 times better.
LOL ok...it needs more swirls. But I only had a few teaspoons full so maybe there's more towards the middle. Chocolate chunks would rock in the pb cup! 0 -

...Or maybe you got an off container with expired dairy chunks

I love the lemon cake!!! I also like mint chip.... haven't found birthday cake or red velvet yet but on the lookout! I eat around 60 grams at a time, I find it more satisfying in smaller quantities0

I don't really do moderation when it comes to ice cream, that's why I like Halo Top, but I REALLY need to stop eating the whole pint, or I spend an hour on the toilet later... pretty much every single time. Sigh.0 -

I had high hopes for PB cup and was kinda disappointed. Not nearly as peanut-buttery as I was expecting, much more watered down. Def not a fav of mine re: halo top pints.0 -

I love the chocolate, and the Peanut Butter. Tried mint chip, birthday cake, and salted caramel, and threw them out.0 -

Try it. It's the number one ranked flavor in the rankings I saw. AND, it's delicious, in my opinion as well.1
