    Well I'm embarrassed to admit that I specifically made an ice cream run, though I bought some veggies with it for balance. Walmart only had Halo Top and Enlightened, so I picked up my favorite Enlightened plus a new one. Winco had two kinds of Chilly Cow bars only so I picked the caramel. They only had Halo Top, so I picked Candy Bar and S'mores and will give the brand one more chance. I'm set for a week, will try to find the other brands next week!

    I think Arctic Zero is *terrible* and want to warn the whole world.
    I've gotta try Enlightened after all of these raves!

    I usually go for smaller portions of regular ice cream, but I do like Halo Top! Favorite flavors so far have been pistachio, birthday cake, and mochi green tea (I think that last one was d/c'd). I was not as crazy about the chocolate chip cookie dough flavor but it was okay!

    I didn't like Arctic Zero at all either!

    I forgot about the mochi green tea by Halo Top, I love that one too!

    ^^Life goals right there.

    I only have one Enlightned pint and a couple bars left. Sounds like I have an excuse for an ice cream run!

    Also good to know that the Chilly Cow website isn’t accurate because it shows ZERO stores near me. I’ll keep looking. We don’t have Winco here.

    I tried Halo vegan ice cream and should've read the label. It's made of coconut cream so if you're not a fan of coconut like me, don't buy it!

    I think so! I may have mixed the two up, I went to Winco last. Shoot, now I'm not sure, sorry! I'm going to Winco this week so if they have Enlightened choc peanut butter I'll know for sure and will update.

    Just have to add the Chilly Cow Brown Butter Salted Caramel bars are awesome! Thanks for the recommendations everyone!

    I used a hand full of frozen berries, good quality yoghurt, a squeeze of lemon or orange, a little lemon zest and a food processor. Comes out icy cold but should be eaten right away. Low in calories and the flavour I like.

    No way! I've been waiting for so long for them to start selling it! What flavors were they carrying?

    Not too many. I got Chocolate Peanut Butter and Brownies and Cookie Dough. They had maybe 3 or 4 other flavors in the pints and a few different flavors of bars.

    Which were the other flavors in the pints other than the two you bought? Sorry I'm a huge enlightened fan and the only store i have near me is walmart so I'm excited to be able to buy it from there now

    I can't remember. Those were the two I was hoping for, so when I saw them, I just grabbed them and never bothered to check the others. Next time I'm there, I'll look again.

    I did get Enlightened at Walmart, I bought chocolate peanut butter (my fav). Winco only had Halo Top, though they have two kinds of Chilly Cow bars. Walmart didn't have a big selection. Safeway has Enlightened on sale right now plus I used a $1 off coupon I got from joining the mailing list.

    My service is awful right now and I can't upload the pic. But my Walmart only has 3 Enlightened pints: Chocolate peanut butter, Brownies and cookie dough, and Cold brew. They also only have 3 Enlightened bars: Mint chip swirl, Cookies & cream, and Sea salt caramel.

    How are the bars, have you (or anyone else) tried them? I didn't care for Brownies and cookie dough ice cream, haven't tried cold brew. I have homemade cold brew every morning and it may not measure up.

    I think I tried the bars a while back..although it might have been Yasso brand. And I can't even remember which flavor..maybe sea salt caramel or cookie dough? I much prefer pints.
    I've never tried cold brew favor either. But I loved the brownies and cookie dough when I've had it. It's loaded with mix-ins!! Maybe I've just been lucky with the ones I've gotten. Anyway, I picked up one of those and one of the chocolate peanut butter today. It's hard to pass up when Ibotta gives you $3 back on each pint.

    That's okay I always have trouble uploading photos on here too. Sounds good though! I asked enlightened if they are starting to carry in walmarts and they didnt answer clearly but said that "were still working on it" not too helpful 😏 lol

    I love their cold brew, you should try it out. I'm not a coffee fan but it's so smooth and has a very mild, sweet coffee like taste.

    I found Enlightened and Chilly Cow at Grocery Outlet. The two packs of Chilly Cow were 2 packages for three dollars. They had about 10 Enlightened flavors, most for $1.99. Smores was $2.49 and Triple Chocolate and Caramel Oatmeal Cookie Crunch were $1.99. Triple chocolate was really good, I'm happy I had the chance to try it! Mint chip was there too, but I personally threw it away after trying it was so bad, and mint is up there with chocolate to me!

    There were also bars, two kinds, one was Graham something and I don't recall the other. Don't recall which of the two brands they were as I wasn't interested in the flavors.

    I really wish I had a grocery outlet near me, I would have bought out all of the enlightened they have lol. No luck with finding it in walmart though :/ I thought it would have been there by now.
