Has anyone else tried this? The entire pint is 240 calories. I am eating 103 grams right now for 88 calories and the texture and taste is just like regular ice cream. It is a little pricy at about $6 a pint so I know everyone situation is different, but it is delicious!

    We have something similar here in Australia, I forked out $12 for a small tub and it tasted like watered down chocolate ice crystals. I had absolutely no fear of binging on that particular "ice cream"...

    I tried it a couple of weeks ago. It was good!

    I just finished a pint of the mint chip. My local Kroger sells Halo Top for $3.99 a pint, so I can afford to eat it a couple of times a week.

    Hhmmmm maybe your version is much better than ours. What's the texture like, is it creamy or icy?

    What's it made of to get the higher protein and lower calorie count? (I'd look it up, but I've never seen it.)

    I find it vaguely unsatisfying, but I can't really say why . . . it just seems, somehow, substanceless. Tastes OK, though, and even has a bit of protein. Just not what I'm looking for in an "ice cream", I guess. I've tried it a few times, thinking I must be wrong, but have consistently ended up wishing I'd eaten something else instead.

    Creamy. Not as much as the real deal but it makes for a good substitute and definitely much better than Arctic Zero.

    Arctic zero was so terrible. I had to blend it up with almond butter and milk before it was remotely edible and....well it kind of defeats the purpose of a low cal ice cream when you're adding 250 calories to it to make it bearable.

    Halo top is my jam though. I'm getting some for my birthday this week.

    I can actually get down with AZ. I spend another 50-100 calories doctoring it up but is worth it to me because I need to eat a high volume of food to be sarisfies

    I wasn't saying that I had trouble finding it in the search function. I was posting this for those on MFP who are finding out that their ice cream is clocking in well over 500 calories and are looking for an alternative.

    And I agree, I tried Arctic Zero and it is icy, this was creamy and good. And Arctic Zero costs more. I can't wait to try all the flavors.

    The person was letting you know that the subject of Halo Top ice cream has been talked about at great lengths, and that you can use the search function to find the threads instead of making a new one about an old subject.
