    Arctic Zero low cal cookies and cream is really good. And all the Yasso yogurt pops are delicious, not sure about their pints. Halo Top is hit and miss for me. Enlightened is super dense and takes more than 30 min to thaw but good. Guess I've tried a few....

    I don't eat dairy, so nothing I eat is technically ice cream, but my favorites for a sweet frozen desert fix are dairy-free halo top, nicecream, and various fruit sorbets.

    I have an inexpensive ice cream maker and I put Greek yogurt in it - delicious! Black cherry is my hubby’s favorite. I like plain mixed with green tea powder. I’ve added all kinds of fresh fruits and nuts. Peaches and walnuts are delicious together!

    No, it has a drum that you keep in the freezer that has some kind of gel around it. I just put a whole tub of Greek yogurt in and start it up (as it freezes, I sometimes stop it to scrape off the sides and stir). It has a hole in the top where you can add other things like nuts or berries. I love it - had it for years. Here is my machine:

    The protein ice cream from the volume eaters thread is amazing! I eat 2 batches a night. It's only 145 calories for the entire batch and it fills a 6 cup tupperware!

    Bio/organic shops usually have lower-calorie ice cream options, you could go check them out.

    Personally I'm also a fan of 'nicecream' made from blended frozen bananas, though I understand the need for a real ice cream. I find it helpful as you make it on the spot and can control the portions.
    Previously I put in the freezer some protein yoghurt until it's really cold and blend it with the bananas, add a splash of milk & frozen strawberries or blueberries (this way you don't have to add that much banana). Finally add either dark chocolate chips or chopped pecans (or both!). Top with some grated coconut or maple syrup for a festive feel ;)

    A good homemade version, frozen strawberries, frozen bananas, a bit of jam for sweetness, vanilla protein powder, if desired (1/2 scoop), blend, comes out like soft serve. if too runny add more frozen fruit, if too thick, add a bit of milk (vanilla almond milk works well too) or more yogurt.
    Instead of strawberries and jam, I sometimes add a splash of chocolate syrup and powdered peanut butter.

    PROYO https://proyos.com/

    It's fantastic.

    HaloTop is fine, the Breyers 300cal ones are fine.

    PROYO makes me happy.

    I like Yasso frozen greek yogurt bars. 100 calories for a large bar and very tasty! My favorite is coffee chip but I also love the chocolate chip cookie dough and mint chocolate chip. I save calories every day to enjoy one for dessert :)

    I make my own sorbet when I want something sweet in a hurry. 1 cup of frozen fruit (strawberries and pineapple are my favorites), 1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt. Add 2-3T water and blend in a food processor or blender and add 0 calorie sweetener to taste. Easy and tasty!

    CoolWay mint chocolate chip is where its at for me.

    Crazyravr... I just added a recipe for Chocolate Mint Grasshopper Bars. They are really good-I would love to see how you would tweak the recipe even more. They are frozen and taste like mini ice cream bars.
