I Love Ice cream and I've heard that a brand called Halo Top is a "healthier" version. Has anyone tried it? What is the best flavor? Thanks!

    Hi!

    I personally dislike the birthday cake flavor :/ I like the sea salt caramel flavor and chocolate. Enlightened has good flavors as well the caramel oatmeal cookie crunch is pretty good. I also think it tasted amazing.

    I just tried Halo Top for the very first time last week. I love it!! I purchased the mint chip flavor and served it on top of a warm brownie. I don't often eat dessert, and it was sincerely fabulous! I will purchase it again, but only once in awhile because I can see where I might have difficulty moderating it lol

    It's made with things you are not able to digest. That's not food.

    I do agree it does have a more thicker texture a little FYI!

    Op- you've heard feedback for this flavor on both sides :)

    I just can't get myself to pay that much $, I bought some frozen yogurt, the praline flavor is good & 100 cal, but sometime I just have ice cream for 160 cal. I don't have it too often

    I looove ice cream! Halo top is so good. I've liked every kind I've tried. I've had the strawberry, chocolate, mint chip and most recently the birthday cake one. I like the birthday cake one the bestiest.

    I love it! Salted Carmel, Cookie Dough, Chocolate, Vanilla Bean, Birthday Cake, Peanut Butter ... wicked expensive though. I only buy it when it's on sale.

    Another treat--try Icelandic Provisions Skyr Yogurt. the Vanilla is the Halo Top of yogurts. :smiley:

    Had it for the first time this week and really enjoyed it (chocolate almond crunch). I'm not a big ice cream fan but I made brownie ice cream sundaes for the family this week and wanted to have something with them, while staying low calorie since I'm in a short weight loss phase for summer prep. Really liked the texture and flavoring of Halo Top and will definitely buy it again!

    It's not "healthier" it's lower calorie. I like the mint, cookie dough, and red velvet. The chocolate is lack-luster. I think the peanut butter cup is pretty good too.

    OMG! Where have you been all my life?

    The calorie/protein macros are terrific!
    I'm a peanut butter person, but was surprised to find this was my least favorite flavor so far.

    The cookie dough is out-of-this-world! I've got lemon cake and birthday cake in the freezer, waiting for taste testing.

    BTW, I read this funny article about HaloTop/ArcticZero/HaagenDazs. A woman has her co-workers taste test them.

    Favorites are sea salt caramel and s'mores. I haven't been able to find the oatmeal cookie one locally, but I'm curious about that one. YUM YUM YUM! And it's stupid expensive, but that's good because I do need to eat other things... sometimes...

    Healthier is a matter of opinion. But it tastes good, has a good texture (seems like real ice cream) and is lower in calories than regular ice cream. So I can have a decent portion without eating half of my daily calories in one sitting.

    I love Halo Top and have a serving every night. I like Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Cookie, Cookie Dough, Pistachio and Red Velvet. Not a huge fan of the plain flavors like chocolate and strawberry and don't think the espresso chip has enough kick.

    Not sure how it is "unhealthy," but I am not a purist when it comes to sugar substitutes.

    I've been resisting the $6.99 price but I guess I'll have to give it a try!

    I love Halo Top! I like to stay on the lighter calorie options, so my favorites are the Birthday Cake (because I love sprinkles), Sea Salt Caramel (has swirls of caramel inside), and the Vanilla Bean flavor.

    I guess I should be happy that walmart by me has it for 4.74!

    I tend to pay $4-5 for a pint of it. Like the vanilla bean and red velvet and black cherry. Need to try more flavors.
