If you're trying to lose weight, you don't have to give up your fav sweet snack. When I heard about halo top, my life was saved lol! It's all natural, high in protein, and low calories for the ENTIRE pint! This will make you feel like you ARENT depriving yourself. Here's the link! Halotop.com
There's so many flavors! Enjoy ❤️

    We eat it occasionally and have not had a problem with gastro issues.
    It's really yummy!

    I can't take the weird after taste.

    I just tried the chocolate peanut butter cup. It's great! Also, Enlightened ice cream tastes much like Halo Top.

    I freakin' LOVE Halo Top!
    I've tried-
    Salted Caramel
    Cookie Dough
    Peanut Butter Cup
    Oatmeal Cookie

    All of them are great. Planning to get mint chocolate next. I wish more flavors were available at the store I shop at.

    They have limited availability in Australia and few flavours, and recently released 4 new flavours but only to independent grocers. You should see the desperation on the Facebook page as people try to track it down.
    Fortunately my local grocer stocks it. Unfortunately, here in oz, it's crazy expensive so has to be a rare indulgence from a monetary perspective rather than a calorie one.

    Haven't seen it in the UK. I tend to just have a really tiny amount of normal ice cream :)

    I don't much like the initial taste, either. :p

    I'd rather have a little bit of what I really want than a lot of something not quite it.

    I'm in the "don't like Halo Top" camp, but I really hate the taste of anything with artificial sweeteners. I'm one of those super-taster people so the taste of fake is really noticeable to me. If I bothered to eat enough of it, I'm sure I'd have the gastro issues.

    If you're morning runners, be careful. Pick a route with a clean restroom. You're welcome.

    Guess it depends on the person - I ate a pint within hours of running a marathon as well as the morning of competing in an Oly triathlon. I like to live a little on the dangerous side, I guess! ;-)

    I'm trying to get out of the "eat the whole thing " habit. Whole pints made me obese. I usually take one portion of Halo Top, add fruit and a crumbled pizelle.

    Personally I find eating 1/2 serving of Ben&Jerry's/Haagen-Dazs/etc. much more satisfying than eating entire pint of Halo Top.

    I like the small 4 oz containers fo Haagen Dazs for control, even if I eat 2, its better than the whole pint. Ben n Jerry's Pint Slices are good too.

    Yes!!!!! I love them so much!!!! It's worth the money to have twice a week. Seriously. Priorities.

    I had a nasty ice cream binge habit that I couldn't shake until I found halo top. It's the only ice cream I've eaten in a couple years except for a little of my husbands and at parties:)

    My favorites are mint chip and pb cup. I love to tear apart Pearsons mint patties and mix it in with the mint chip in a bowl and then add some Hershey's lite chocolate syrup. Try it!!!! Sooo good!!!

    Oh and to the comment about don't have it close to working out or whatever... I haven't had any issues with that!! And I have a sensitive stomach. :) YMMV

    Goodnight!

    I don't think they have it in Canada...
    I just ate a cup of oreo ice cream though and it was so worth the 280 calories. :blush:

    Yeah we don't have it here... :neutral:

    Yes, thank you! I seriously thought I was the only person who didn't like Halo Top. I was so excited to try it because everyone was raving about it, tried the cookies & cream flavor and, no offense to those who love it, thought it tasted like pure sugar alcohols and unedible.

    I don't know why no one talks about Enlightened. It's literally the exact same thing, but they somehow got it right and you can't taste the artificial sweetener AT ALL. Seriously tastes like regular ice cream. I eat a half pint almost every night lol. So I recommend it to those who don't like Halo Top but still want a low cal ice cream option.

    Choosing between the two I'd take Enlightened. More chunky goodness, especially the Triple Chocolate flavor!

    I eat ice cream almost every day. Ben and Jerry's and Haagendaz are my go to's and not any reduced version. What I do do is measure out an amount, eat it and then STOP. It takes discipline yes, but that's how I can enjoy eating what I really choose to eat on a daily basis.

    No, thank you. I much prefer the "ice cream" taste of Blue Bell No Sugar Added over the "fake guar" taste of Halo Top and Arctic Zero.

    That's the best one! I think I've tried all the flavors (that are offered near me at least) and the only one I didn't like was the mint chocolate chip, but I'm not super fond of that flavor to begin with.

    And I agree about the chunks of stuff. My first reaction of disappointment with the Halo Top cookies & cream, as soon as I opened the lid I thought, "where are the cookies???" haha I've never seen cookies & cream "flavored" ice cream, that didn't have cookie crumbles in it.

    I feel like if people like Halo Top, the either haven't had real ice cream in a while, or don't like real ice cream. This stuff is an abomination of ice cream, and the only one that I've tried that tasted ok was the chocolate peanut butter, but still didn't taste like ice cream.

    I taste the sweeteners more in Enlightened actually. Honesty by now I find the real stuff more satisfying too. Just can't get over the artificial aftertaste.

    Most Halo Top flavors are pretty good, but Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom is usually easier to find and cheaper. Less protein, but a Halo Top addiction gets expensive fast lol. It averages around $4 a pint here. For that same $4 I get a half gallon-ish of BB Sweet Freedom flavors. I like both but will switch between them to save some $$.
