    My mom showed me this one. Freezing cool whip. Actually really good, light, low cals, low carb and good on frozen fruit with a little cinnamon.

    I love Halo top icecream!

    I made the banana "ice cream" once and it blew up my blender, so haven't had it since.. I also added pb2, and it did taste delicious. Howeeeever... the calories were pretty much on par with regular ice cream, but with less fat and protein. So if you make it because you like the taste, then yeah go for it! But i personally prefer more fat and protein in my dessert concoctions.

    Huge Ben and Jerry's fan, so Halo Top was disappointing, to say the least. I'd rather adjust my macros to accommodate a serving of good ole Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

    Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches are great too!

    So Delicious coconut milk ice cream sandwiches are good and only 90 calories, but that assumes you stick to one!

    A lot of people here like Halo Top. I've found that I like Talenti Gelato or Enlightened. The banana nice cream is good, too, though a word of caution about that...the calorie amounts are pretty similar to ice cream, so be mindful of portion sizes with that. Even though some alternatives are labeled with the arbitrary "healthier" label, that does not mean they are low calorie.
    Nothing wrong with good ol' ice cream, though.

    I like to make protein fluff with Quest protein powder and then put it in the freezer until really cold.

    When I have a little extra cash I'll get some Skinny Cow or Halo Top. When I don't, Edys Slow Churned is really yummy and affordable and around 120 cals per serving so I can really load up for 200 cals.

    I also keep premium ice cream or gelato in the freezer for days I have room, because there really is no substitute :)

    I mix cream cheese andcool whip with powdered pnut butter and pecans. I've used sugar free syrup to give it that sweet taste. It hits the spot!

    I bought some Skinny Cow Greek Yogurt bars yesterday -- salted caramel. They were as good or better than the Yasso Greek Yogurt bars I have been buying. Very creamy and quite yummy. 100 calories each.

    I am not a huge ice cream fan, but when I want a cool dessert beyond my fruit addiction, this is what I do. Frozen cool whip with berries is awesome.

    I have had Skinny Cow and Halo Top- both brands taste good but a little pricey for me.

    Halo top is my favorite from the store but you can make homemade ice cream using frozen bananas (freeze them without the peel) and add what you would like to it. Peanut butter powder is a really good option (just get the one without the added sugar). You can also add Hershey's 100% Dark Cocoa for a chocolate peanut butter banana flavor. Okay, now I just made myself hungry, lol!

    Clearly I have to try Halo Top, but I get my fix pretty easily from Yasso Greek Yogurt bars.

    Ice cream bars are anywhere from 90 calories (creamsicles!) to around 160 calories. That includes Fudgesicles, chocolate covered vanilla, Good Humor bars (strawberry, chocolate, toasted almond) etc.

    My Grandma would take Cool Whip & make a sandwich with that & graham crackers & then freeze.

    banana nicecream w/ pb2, although I haven't had it recently. Occasionally I get the diane's storebought dark choc dipped bananas too.

    I used to love Halo Top but after a few bites I start feeling queasy from the alcohol sugars. So if I am craving ice cream I go for the real ice cream and work it into my budget for the day but sometimes I will still get Halo Top if I want a lot of ice cream.

    Lately I've been eating the Yasso Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Salted Caramel Bars at 100 calories each. My preference is for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor. Love it!

    But my favorite is the Skinny Cow Salted Caramel Pretzel Bar. Now that thing is delicious. But it comes in at 160 calories which is one of Skinny Cow's highest calorie treats so I don't feel right about eating one of those daily, but whew, it's good.

    Try mixing in some key lime Greek yogurt with the cool whip. Mini key lime pies!
