We finally got Halo at my tiny grocery store up here in the mountains! I was so excited to give it a try, after hearing all the hype.
Surprisingly it really was as good as everyone claims!
I've only tried the birthday cake flavor (think that's what it's called.) It tastes just like the Cake Batter (crack) flavor at Cold Stone Creamery! I was amazed it could have so few calories. No guilt and a freaking delicious
It's worth the price.3 -
The birthday cake and lemon cake flavors are terrible.

I've had two pints of Halo Top in my freezer for quite a while, as I'm not a huge ice cream fan. This weekend, I opened up the Sea Salt Caramel and at 1/2 a pint and was pleasantly surprised! I see what people are talking about in regards to the texture, but that didn't bother me - even straight out of the freezer. The flavor was GREAT!! The only downside is that my dogs were mad that I didn't let them lick the bowl/spoon, lol. They're kinda cute when they pout, though

Same. Whole Foods and co-ops sell it for $5.99 though.0 -
For those who use ibotta, the current rebates are .50 for 2 pints of Halo Top, $1 for Enlightened pint or box, and $2.50 for 2 pints of Artic Zero, valid at several major US grocery chains.
I might have to try Artic Zero just for the price point!0 -

I have not tried the birthday cake yet because of so many mixed reviews. I really like the lemon. I did not like peanut butter because mine had no chunks of anything and others have said that theirs did. The red velvet is good. The pistachio is one of my favorites. I do not normally like cookie dough flavors the chocolate chip cookie dough is delicious. The chocolate almond something or other is also very good. I wait until they go on sale and I buy 3 or 4 pints so I can get to taste them all.1 -
My favorite flavor (of Birthday Cake, Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, and Red Velvet) has been Vanilla Bean. Chocolate had a pretty icky texture tbh but I think they've revamped it since. However, I only get Birthday Cake because it's the only flavor available at costco (4 pints for ~$11 so ~$2.75/pint) and buying halo top anywhere else is way too expensive for me.0

Halo top
ice cream is good. But watch the ones that are highly process. I have the app Fooducate and its rating is good but you got to read the nutrition chart for the reason why it's not all about the sugar, fat, etc.0 -

Yeah IDK. The Fooducate app definitely needs some help though... HA.0 -
I am in love with the oatmeal, our Meijer had coupons for a free pint a week or so ago, and Everytime they ring up a pint at the moment they are popping out $2 off. My husband has gone though two birthday cake. It's too sweet for me, but I have oatmeal and chocolate in the freezer. The oatmeal is perfect!! The chocolate is ok too, it tastes like you brought a frosty home and popped it in the freezer. The oatmeal really hits a spot for me as before going low carb oatmeal was my favorite breakfast.0

Okay, I finally opened my pint of Enlightened frozen hot chocolate. That stuff was good.
I ate half of it yesterday and the other half tonight. So far no intestinal issues that I was worried about from the sweetener.0 -

My Kroger has Halo Top on sale for $3.99/pint, AND they're offering it as a part of their "Buy 5, Save $5" promotion ( basically, you but any 5 participating items and get $5.00 deducted from your total at checkout), AND I had 5 $1.00 off coupons to use on them. So I got five pints of Halo Top for $9.95 today, before tax.
I don't know you. I don't know your goals or your dreams. And I know this post is over three months old. However, at this time, in this moment...you are my hero.5 -
Surprisingly to me, I didn't really like the Halo Top ice cream and I am a super ice cream fan. To be fair, I've only tried the one flavor, but I've had it for 2 weeks now and only ate one serving so far. It made the back of my throat burn when I ate it (and not from the cold). I'm not giving up on it yet because I need ice cream in my life and need large portions..lol.. I plan to try a few flavors that you guys really seem to like!0

It looks like ice cream, it tastes like ice cream, and an extra bonus it has more protein, fat, fibre and less calories than regular ice cream.
I did a little experiment with my husband. I made him blind test our Cadbury chocolate ice cream and my chocolate Halo top, and he chose the Halo top as being the regular one!5 -
Halo Top may be the best thing that ever happened to me.
I finally tried some today and it exceeded all expectations.2 -

I never heard of it before . I was fortunate.. my local Safeway gave me a coupon for a free pint. 5.99 I paid for the tax. There wasn't many flavors to choose from...but I did get peanut butter cup.
What are the chances of getting another coupon? 0 -
I just had some halo top tonight and thank goodness for it. Pms ice cream cravings hit like a truck but I ate half the pint and was satisfied. I tried cookies and cream but birthday cake is the real winner of the flavors I've tried. Soooo good. Tastes like frosting and dreams.0

I keep reading the tastes like frosting thing about the birthday cake flavour. It tasted like plain vanilla to me.. Maybe i got a dud tub??
