    ^^ didn't pay that price at Superstore! $6.99 I think - still way too much to buy often.

    They’re delicious, but my sister hates them, so I know they’re not for everybody. The rum & ginger cookie and Irish cream ones are my favourite. The rum blondie and vodka key lime ones are good, but my least favourite.

    I have the rum & ginger cookie, Irish cream, and whiskey truffle flavours in my freezer right now. Whenever Haagen Dazs is on sale I stock up.

    CocoChoc2018-1-420x420.png

    Tried both.

    MUCH MUCH better than HaloTop anything I tried so far. Especially the mint chocolate is absolutely amazing.

    thanks for this, I'm actually heading out after work to pick some up today! any idea of the regular price (at metro or elsewhere?)

    @Muscleflex79
    I bought mine at Metro yesterday at $3.99 on sale. I know Walmart has them too at $5.99 and Breyers at $4.99. But these two are worth it for me even at full price so I will go back for more.

    I'm afraid that sale may be over now - it had been in the flyers, but not for this week (starting today). going anyway to see what I can get. will definitely grab the mint thanks to your recommendation!

    none at metro - only a couple versions of the old one left at full price :-(

    I agree. I think the CoolWay has a more genuine dairy taste and feel to it and I love the flavours I've tried so far except the Vanilla Bean. That one didn't do it for me. The Salted Caramel is mellower in sweetness than HT. I'm waiting for the Blueberry Waffle Crisp to hit the shelves.

    Tried these for the first time today. Not bad for 90 calories - pretty creamy texture. I was hoping for a stronger lemon flavour but it hit the spot regardless. (sorry for the huge photos - not sure how to downsize them)

    Lactose-free : don't know why they put it on the back in small print... that info is HUGE for people who love dairy but it bothers their tummy. More protein per spoonful than Greek yogurt and less tart taste. Macro heaven!

    That extra protein comes with extra calories you know that right?

    Yup, I'm good with that. Protein makes me feel full.

    I buy Suzie's Organic Thin Cakes which are made with brown rice and quinoa. These are at Costco. They are so good with cheese, peanut butter, etc. Happy to see a Canadian thread.

    I really enjoy the Subway Chopped Salad. I get the lettuce, tomato, cucumber and cheese with turkey and oil and vinegar dressing. Only 300 calories. Delicious and filling and you can pick your own toppings just like you do for the subs.

    Speaking of McD's. Have they added a calorie count to their menus across the country? I know it is law in Ontario, but I noticed it on the menu board this weekend in BC.

    McDonald's has calorie count in Alberta now too.

    What about https://halotop.ca/

    They sell Halo Top at the Real Canadian Superstore in Winnipeg. Go to this site and find the stores that carry it in your city.

    I think the Skyr has only 110 calories per 175 g, no? That's on par with the 0% Kirkland Greek yogurt I buy (100 cals per 175 g)

    I love this thread but also find it rather depressing. I am in Victoria and am having a very hard time finding any of these products :(

    Did you find them yet? Now that the novelty is wearing off, I found Save on foods usually has some in stock. In fact I just bought some today

    I just bought some of these but I haven’t tried them yet. The gingerbread flavour at Christmas was really boring, so I’m hoping this one is better.

    I found something pretty darn Canadian this morning, although it's not a food product... ;) It was on the Tim Hortons website... the "EHmoji keyboard"!

    For anyone interested, I tried the new chocolate chip cool way yesterday (320 calories per pint instead of 600 that the old one was). incredibly, it tasted exactly the same to me minus the fact it had less chocolate chips in it. unfortunately they didn't have the mint chip one so I'll need to go looking elsewhere for that one!

    Once my Halo Top stash is depleted, I'll definitely be switching over to CoolWay. I really liked the flavors I tried, except for the vanilla bean. The chocolate chip was really rich tasting. It doesn't hurt that it's cheaper, too.

    Metro right now has an airmiles promotion going on - redeem 95 and get 50 miles back! Great way to stock up on these otherwise pricey items!

    Can't find the Cool Whey, but just killed a half pint of the Breyers Delight. Less calories, cheaper and definitely very tasty. Like it more than the Peanut butter Halo top for sure.

    I found some Breyers delight at Shoppers yesterday. Chocolate and Cookies & Cream. I thought they were tasty, too. Look for CoolWay. Same company as Cool Whey but much less calories. Here in Ontario, I found it at Walmart for $4.97. I guess it was on sale last week for $3.99 but I missed it.

    What flavour of the Breyers did you try?

    I tried the Chocolate Breyers delights. Biggest surprise was the 6g of fiber per serving. I have 3 1/2 tubs of Halo top, a partial package of Maple nutty something and a new package of Neapolitan to eat before I spend more money on others ones.

    I bought way more than I would normally eat, so this could be a while. My wife can't touch dairy so it's all on me.

    I found Halo Top at Whole Foods ($10 per "pint"), Fairway always has a good amount of zero/low calorie noodles which I buy quite often.

    I am REALLY looking forward to the new low calorie Cool Whey which I believe Whole Foods and Popeye's will get.

    I will keep my eye out for more fun stuff. I guess things just take longer to find their way into our stores.

    I bought these at Maxi grocery store (I think they are affiliated with Loblaws) and these are amazing if you dunk them in tea and if you love coconut. So delicious.
