    I gave many flavors of Enlightened and Halo Top a fair try and really just don't care for this type of ice cream.

    I do like reduced calorie Ben & Jerry's, but the calorie count is not reduced all that much. But then, the flavor isn't reduced either :lol:

    Yeah the Ben & Jerry's Moophoria is more for those of us who want to make 1 serving fit into a regular day rather than be able to eat the whole pint I think. They are yummy :smile:

    I haven't seen reduced calorie Ben & Jerry's, I'll keep an eye out! I haven't been impressed with Halo Top so far but picked up Peanut Butter and Jelly today on clearance, I hope it is decent though a weird flavor. They had a brand called Slim Twins and I picked up two of those, plus frozen yogurt. I'll check out Target once I run out. No Krogers here, I'm in Northern CA. I really want to find Enlightened's Triple Chocolate!

    I think Halo Top is overrated and dunno how it got so popular? Maybe it was the first to come out? Enlightened is my favorite cuz it's sooooo smooth! I bought the Ben and Jerry's not really looking at the calories but yea it's defo a "serving size" treat

    NO judgment on those who do like to eat the whole pint of these, there are tons of other foods I like very large serving sizes for...but I can't eat a whole pint of anything at once. Maybe I just don't like ice cream as much, I don't know. But even Halo Top, I really like it but feel nauseated if I eat 1/2 or more in one sitting.

    There are certain flavors of Halo and Enlightened that I really enjoy, but the best of each don’t compare to the worst Chilly Cow. Chilly Cow is by far the best.

    I have a Grocery Outlet nearby, I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the recommendations!

    I LOVE Grocery Outlet. My local one had four different Enlightened flavors recently. They also always have one or two Halo Top flavors, as well as various other low calorie brands that I don't like as much.

    I prefer mini ice cream bars so mini Drumsticks are amazing, they are like 110 calories. Also Chapman's (a Canadian brand) has some mini ice cream bars for 150cals which are very satisfying.

    I used to eat a pint at a time but now it's not worth it. a.) because I burnt myself out b.) because I count the true carb value rather than net carbs (calories advertised are based on net carbs) and c.) because that's what the marketers want, and is why Halo Top is so successful. People are eating pints at a time, meaning they end up buying ice cream more frequently, which = larger profits. Also, I swear erythritol is addictive haha

    My favorite is Enlightened Chocolate Peanut Butter. Movie Night is good too..(as well as quite a few others).
    Archers Farms Chocolate Pecan Pie is awesome.
    Halo Top has some decent ones too.
    I tried Chilly Cow once and liked it. I forget the flavor though.
    Breyers Delights is ok too.

    Culture republick is 450-500 cals per pint and has the best texture of any light ice cream i’ve ever eaten. I like all of the flavors except lemon graham but my favorites are milk&honey and matcha fudge. Super creamy, a bit dense and chewy(like a real pint), and I’m pretty sure there’s no artificial sweeteners

    So far my favorite is Enlightened Chocolate Peanut Butter. What are your favorites that are worth the price and calories?

    I am DYING to try this! I haven't had ice cream in almost six months..

    Well, the worst light ice cream is Slim Twins. I tried the Cookies and Cream last night and it was awful. Not worth the calories!

    I haven't come across some of the brands mentioned. I'll keep an eye out!

    It's worth a try, and not too high in calories!

    Used to be carried at Target, but Target discontinued it. Sadly..

    I’m not a fan of Slim Twin. It’s always at my Grocery Outlet and I understand why they can’t seem to sell it.

    Enlightened cookies and cream is pretty good, and it comes in bars if you would rather have that instead of a pint.

    That's where I picked up Slim Twins. Lesson learned!

    Sounds like Enlightened is good across the board. I'll keep an eye out for more flavors.
