New products that caught your eyes recently?

Weirdly here Food Lion is the only place I can find the pumpkin Halo Top. They literally only stock 3 flavors including the pumpkin. Sadly I can't try it because it's not gluten free but my friend, cousin, and MIL all loved it.

I finally found Enlightened pints at one of our local health food stores. They are 6.49! But they had them on sale for 40% off so I got three pints. Strawberry cheesecake had a huge hole in it, so obviously it got defrosted sometime and it tasted like it. I'm disappointed.

What a shame! There's one Shoprite store near my house I won't go to because the Enlightened ice cream always looks like that and I hardly ever have problems anywhere else. The cold brew pint and chocolate peanut butter is their best flavors, trust me on that

I've been pulling my hair out trying to find the seasonal Halo Top pumpkin pie pint ugh! Has anyone had it yet? All the stores I've visited and called don't sell it except for Wegmans, who is always sold out each time I'm there -.-

Pumpkin Pie is one of the best. So creamy and the perfect marriage of sweet pumpkin spice and pure pumpkin. It's the creamiest as well.

Well if there's any way you have ties with Halo Top do me a favor and tell them to sell it online with their other ice creams so I can buy some because I won't be able to live with myself if I can't find it before it's discontinued .-.

I'm surprised you're having such difficulty finding it @hgycta

I wonder when Walmart is getting the new Halo flavors?

I don't know, the Super Walmart near my house doesn't have it and neither does the regular Walmart my dad's at now (I just got off the phone with him asking him to check for Halo Top - they didn't have ANY flavors PERIOD)! o: </3

Hey! So I did a search and it looks like both Giant and Food Lion should carry the Pumpkin Pie flavor! @hgycta

THANK YOU!!!! I really hope they do!

Giant will have the flavor! It's about $5.29.

I'm spoiled my Giant sells it AND they sell it for $0.30 less! O: @pancakerunner THANK YOU I can't wait to dig into it! I picked up the rest they had so I hope I like it haha I can't take any chances when it comes to possibly never finding it in stock again; they didn't have any of the new flavors but all the regular ones were fully stock and only this one was close to selling out! It must be as good as you say!


Also got an email from IHOP. Monday they'll be adding new flavors! I'm going back Friday to celebrate national coffee day with more latte pancakes since they were so good, and I guess Monday now I'll have to go back again if this release includes even more pancake flavors (I've been praying for the dark chocolate peppermint to come back)! I'm probably going to become diabetic this week, but I love pancakes more than I love not being a diabetic so I think I'm going to take the risk here soon.

I just wanna know what your TDEE is because pancakes do NOT come cheaply caloriewise.

I just wanna know what your TDEE is because pancakes do NOT come cheaply caloriewise.

I'm in maintenance so I do 1,600 calories a day but I budget that 400 breakfast, 160 small lunch snack, 840 dinner, and 200 dessert or I'll do 400 breakfast, 160 small lunch snack, 90 second snack, 500 dinner, 450 dessert. Depends if I want an indulgent dinner or dessert that day haha a four stack of pancakes is usually around 700 and I choose the interesting flavors with drizzle so I don't need syrup so that helps I couldn't imagine not being able to have pancakes for dinner they're my favorite so I make them work!

LOL you're just my hero when it comes to trying all these new products. I have the calories but I tend to eat very light during the day (I try at least!) and eat most of them at night. I also like eating a lot of little different things rather than have it come from one or two things. My TDEE is usually around 2400 (I walk A LOT to get it that high, tho).

Halo top is on sale at Whole Food right now BTW, 2 for $8 IIRC

How are you not starving at lunch? lol.

FUnny I do the same thing, no breakfast, small lunch, and then I like to eat a huge dinner and night snack. I usually do about 300 lunch 1000 dinner 1000ish night snack

I remember years ago when I started eating this way in high school I was always hungry but then after doing it my body just got used to not eating and I don't even get hungry until around 12 and am not very hungry during the day. I think once you eat that way for awhile your body adjusts. Sometimes if I go back to eating big breakfasts like when I go on vacation and big lunches and smaller dinners and night snacks I find my hunger levels gradually come back.

Yup! I've always ate like this, when I started counting my calories I tried having the whole three regular meals but was always hungry. I feel like I function a lot better having my stomach STUFFED around dinner time because it makes me wake up the next day focused and I don't get hungry until around dinner again and pretty much repeat the process. It's way more satisfying for me to eat all at once rather than continuously be distracted throughout the day teasing myself with not as generous portions of my favorite foods.

Also, I just tried the pumpkin pie Halo Top pint and I'd give it a 6/10. Not as many pie crust pieces as I was expecting but it was still enjoyable and I didn't have to thaw it at all. I would have LOVED it if it wasn't as heavy on the clove as it is and had more nutmeg, but overall they nailed the pumpkin spice flavor! My favorite is still the sea salt caramel and cookies & cream, but this is definitely enjoyable every once in a while and I'll be sure to stock up a couple more before it gets discontinued. I'd get tired of it having too much though, and it borderlines the overly perfumed waxy pumpkin candle flavor some pumpkin haters might find off-putting. It's definitely an iffy pint I almost don't like but I do. Glad to have it (and FINALLY find it) but I won't miss it when it's gone. I'm more excited for that gingerbread flavor! Still waiting on cotton candy one day too, or maybe since we're in the holiday spirit an eggnog! I'm not a candy/caramel apple person but I'm surprised they didn't make that a flavor... I feel like they could definitely pull it off.

Walmart best get the Gingerbread.

Beyond Raw ISO-Casein PM Protein Powder (Chocolate). Mix it with unsweetned coconut milk an hour before you go to bed and you will have a delicious milkshake. The powder does not clump (if you use a blender) and the thickness and taste is off the charts!

I'm surprised no one posted yet about Halo Top's new dairy free/vegan flavors! If it has pea protein count me out but coconut milk sounds promising since I LOVE So Delicious' line of coconut milk no sugar added pints...

Also found a review but we all know how we can't always trust these since some of us love what others hate here XD I'm sort of excited to try them but I'm also nervous because I'm sure if I hate them every time I have anyone pick me up Halo Top I'll run into the risk of them grabbing one of these pints since they look nearly identical... why couldn't they made them have a more dramatic difference SOMEWHERE so they're easier to notice? .-. I wonder if they'll be like $7+ or the same price as Halo Top's regular pints haha

omg yum!!! I cant wait to try them since I cant really eat the whey ones as too much whey bothers my stomach!

Cracker Barrel's pumpkin pancakes are decent but nothing to go out of your way for. It tastes just like Krusteaz's pumpkin pancake mix that you add water to and make. No difference at all! So I like it, but I'd rather make it myself at home and get something here that I can't make at home too easily.

690 cals for the ginger snap dessert.

So 1.) went to IHOP again (don't judge me) and tried the vanilla bean pancakes this time. Not anything special, just regular plain buttermilk pancakes with mediocre vanilla cream and not that special ice cream. Not worth the calories. The salted caramel java and new mocha pancakes are 1000000x better!!!!


2.) After going to three different Shoprites I did it. I found the other new flavors I hadn't tried! My freezer can't fit one more pint and unfortunately thanks to those pancakes neither can my stomach so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to try one! To play it safe I got two of each flavor (besides the rainbow which I got 1 since I don't normally like sherbet and candy bar I got 3 because it got great reviews) which was probably risky since so far I haven't been impressed but hey even Halo Top's worst flavor is better than Breyer's Delights best flavor as far as I'm concerned.

Curious to hear your thoughts on the Caramel Macchiato

I really don't know which one to try first! I really want to see what all the hype is about the Candy Bar but I don't know.... I might not be able to resist the caramel macchiato, it might be best to try that first in case I need to make another stop later this week for more x)

The new dairy-free flavors are made with a mix of rice and pea proteins BTW @hgycta
