Anyone try these? I'm all for eating the "real thing" but am curious about these...

Halo Top tastes better, with a few more calories. They are worth it. People will poo all over Artic Zero but I have poverty macros and a huge appetite, I can get on the AZ train. Especially with a few My Protein flavor drops and some cocoa powder.
But Halo Top is good. You will enjoy it much more.1 -
Halo Top is awesome. I much prefer it to regular ice cream. I also really like Arctic Zero but it's not 'ice cream'.
Do not try Wink. Disgusting0 -

Lol. I've had some desperate times with Wink. Desperate times.
I actually don't miss the "real" ice cream much. I like to eat high volume and really like the taste of HT1 -
I really like Halo Top. It's not the same thing as "real" ice cream, but it tastes good in its own right. I don't like any of the other low calorie ice creams.0

Have you found a flavor that isn't vile? I can usually make my way through anything (especially if it costs $6) but the Wink went in the trash.0 -

No, but I've added cocoa powder and those flavor drops...maybe a bit of powdered peanut butter, and made my way through it. At that point it had the same calories as Artic Zero though, so it's pointless.
I've sucked it up a few times. But really I'd rather make protein fluff than eat it. I maintain on 1800 calories so I'm pretty used to "low calorie" foods because I really like to eat a lot. Two bites of something calorie dense doesn't really cut it.0 -
Where do people buy halo top? I live in NC and all that's around me is a Walmart and a Piggly Wiggly lol, but I'm up for a little drive to try it. So many people love it.0

You can get it at Whole Foods. I just go to the grocery store to get it. I live in NYC though so it's a bit easier.0 -

I'm in NC too, I get mine from Publix & Whole Foods
I like Halo Top over Arctic Zero but, like above, I eat both depending on what my day has looked like. I love putting some Penzey's Pie Spice and a little sugar free syrup (which kinda "hardens") over the Vanilla - so so good! I'll have to try some other add-ins too.0 -
They are both decent, but at that price point, I'd rather just mix some good casein in water to a pudding like consistency and put it in the freezer.0

I tried artic zero and didn't think it was bad. It was similar to a Wendy's frosty. The price is also what turned me off.
If I am trying to cut some weight there is a frozen peach yogurt that I usually buy. It is just the store brand and is 100 calories per serving. That is my go to lower calorie frozen treat.0 -
Honestly Halo Top satisfies me enough that I don't feel the need to waste calories on 'real' ice cream. To be fair, I don't care for most commercial ice creams in the first place and I'll always pick cake or pie over ice cream if even the choice, so it's not like I'm a huge ice cream fan or something.
That being said, it can give me diarrhea, and I've had a couple pints that tasted horribly artificial... so IMO they have some quality control issues.
I tried the Artic Zero chunky pints, the chunks are good but the base is tasteless so it's just not worth the calories.0 -
Halo Top is good.
Arctic Zero needs a lot of additions to not taste like sad ice milk.0 -
-
I've had a bunch of the halo top flavors... never tried artic zero, though.
Halo top tastes like diet ice cream. Halo top is to regular ice cream as quest bars are to snickers. You'll never confuse it with regular ice cream, but it isn't terrible. For me, it's just good enough to satisfy my sweet tooth when I want something like ice cream, but not so good that I'll eat a whole pint.0 -
Closest place is 43 miles away, yikes. I might just see if I can request it. Thanks!

I can't stomach AZ. It just tastes like flavored ice water to me. Halo Top is amazing (I have a pint of the peanut butter cup planned for tomorrow), as is Enlightened. The great thing about Enlightened is that it comes in individual bars, so it's easy, although it's just as expensive as Halo.0

Artic Zone is hit or miss. Some flavors aren't that tasty. You have to let it thaw to get to the creamy texture. The brownie blast kind is my favorite! It has actual brownie pieces in it which makes it AMAZING when I don't have the calories to eat the real thing.0

Halo Top is incredible. I haven't tried Arctic Zero, but I hear horrible things about it.0

Halo Top and Enlightened are the best, in my opinion. I'm slowly(ish) making my way though each flavor.
I tried Arctic Zero a couple years ago. Salted Caramel, my weakness. It was glorified brown water. Ick!0 -
I've had several Halo Top flavors and been disappointed in all of them. They have a very chemical aftertaste. I'd rather eat ice cream less often but indulge in the real thing. Plus, the mix-ins hardly exist. The mint chocolate chip pint I bought had about five minuscule chocolate chips.0

I don't mind Arctic Zero at all. I actually LOVE the maple vanilla flavor. To me personally it's perfect. Halo Top is too sweet for me.

THAT'S what the AZ tastes like! I had a box of their chocolate covered ice cream on a stick, and I couldn't figure out why it tasted like nostalgia. My grandma used to give us ice milk pops...1 -

My grandfather was diabetic and ALWAYS had ice milk in his freezer. Usually had fur on it because it was so disgusting he wouldn't even eat it.

Halo top mocha chunk is amazing!! I don't buy it very often just on sale when it's $40

I'm okay with AZ, but prefer Halo Top.... Fairly simple person with my favorite being Halo Top Vanilla Bean with a nuked cinnamon apple on top. Yum.0

I've only had birthday cake Halo Top but found it enjoyable.
Arctic Zero... I tried them before the packaging rebranding and couldn't force myself to stomach them. I've tried five different newer pints and can say:
-Don't bother with the creamy pints. They're all crap.
-Same with most of the chunky. Cookie dough is okay if I really want volume, have cash to burn, and don't feel like driving to a place with Halo Top.
-The only flavor that was worth anything was A Little Chippy. The biggest difference between this and other pints is that the base has an actual vanilla flavor. I picked up a pint a while back at the 99 Cent Store and bought all pints I could find in my next visits.0 -
I love Halo Top. Arctic Zero, on the other hand, tastes like it's made with the tears of human sadness.2
-
I'm thinking now that I might have to stop by Whole Foods on my way home and grab a pint of Halo Top or Arctic Zero...0
