    Halo Top is popular. Some people like Arctic Zero. The banana one is pretty yummy; I used to make that with some PB2 and cocoa powder. I also personally really like Breyers' carb smart chocolate ice cream.

    Yogurt ice cream...just about any brand works for me. Although I have been getting into making sorbet with my vitamix. YUM!

    Yonana is a great gadget. You freeze bananas and add in any flavor or ingredient you want your ice cream to be. Look it up. I absolutely love it.

    I love love love halo top. Just make sure to let it sit out for a bit so it thaws. The birthday cake flavor tastes just like blue bunny birthday cake ice cream to me. Since theres more protein i'm not even tempted to finish the pint.

    Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with protein powder mixed in with your choice of toppings are good subs as well.

    I'll join in on the Halo Top Band Wagon. It's a bit pricey but I'd rather spend a little more than to give up ice cream entirely. I've tried 3 flavors so far and loved them all. It's light, but doesn't compromise taste. Each flavor is at least half the calories and less carbs than the equivalent regular store version. Anywhere from about 240 calories to 350 depending on the variety for the whole pint. Each pint is 4 servings. Good on protein as well.

    HALO TOP!!!! Absolutely Halo Top! Love love love the sea salt caramel. Chocolate and Mint are awesome too. Just let it sit out on the counter for a bit to soften up and dig in. It's amazing!

    If you have any bananas and a food processor, you can make your own ice cream at home! (One ingredient ice cream) The texture is pretty much the same plus you'll be able to have control over what level of sweetness or toppings you want to add.

    What's wrong with ice cream?

    Skinny cow. When I eat ice cream I eat the ice cream pops or single package things. Better for portion control.

    I was very very skeptical of Halo Top but I tried the chocolate one, since I got it for free, and it was life changing. I highly recommend it.

    I mix natural yoghurt with cacao, Pb, protein a d stevia, and water to make it easier to stir. Add in some berries and freeze for a while... It's dessert every night of the week.

    Weekends/high cal days are for real icecream.

    I love Halo Top. I don't know whether it qualifies as particularly healthy, but it's lo cal anyway.
