Halo Top. Yay or Nay?

I am of the population who complain of digestive discomfort after consuming Halo Top, or other "light" ice creams - I've noticed this after even the recommended serving of 1/2 - 3/4 cup. However, I realize not everyone experiences gastrointestinal distress or food sensitivities - so, like other Pals have said, I think that if it satiates you and you are able to exercise moderation (and your bank account can support the treat, too) then enjoy the Halo Top!!

This might be steering a bit off topic, but it's come to mind as I've been typing my response:
I think a person's relationship with food also plays a role; for someone who has the "all or nothing" mindset, "light" ice creams that tout the calories per pint might reinforce some unhealthy habits (i.e. just because there are fewer calories per pint and the label tells you to "stop when you hit the botton", you don't need to finish it all in one sitting. For someone like me, eating the whole pint would only result in a lot of bloat, discomfort, and regret (mostly because I feel physically icky afterward). Not to say anyone should feel this way EVER - I've just learned that that's how I react and only feel it's fair to be honest about that). Perhaps it's because I've consumed quite a bit of those "light" ice creams in the past and have suffered the consequences in my gut, so the pleasure I get from them simply isn't as pronounced, but Halo Top, Enlightened - or really any ice cream or decadent type of treat - don't appeal to me. Fruits like apples, grapes, and watermelon, though - now THOSE sound tasty to me!!

Just from my stroll down the frozen aisles of the grocery stores, I've noticed they offer quite a few flavors, and have seemed to expand their line at an impressive rate!! I think vanilla bean and chocolate are always crowd-pleasers. When I consumed Halo Top and comparable brands (e.g. Enlightened, Arctic Zero), some flavors were a bit too sweet for my liking. And I've read some reviews from other consumers expressing dissatisfaction with texture and consistency with particular flavors, but I really think it varies from person to person and brand to brand - especially when manufacturers reformulate their products. I digress; I guess I am not being much help - I am sorry to ramble on.

The takeaway from all of that ^ is:
- I personally don't recommend or would limit Halo Top and other "light" ice creams, as they are highly processed and disagree with my digestive system,
- Flavors might vary in consistency, texture, and overall enjoyment depending on your personal preferences (e.g. you like the fruity/citrusy stuff (e.g. lemon cake, rainbow swirl, strawberry, chocolate covered banana, blueberry crumble, key lime pie), bittersweet (e.g black cherry), cooling (e.g. mint chip), or richer/sweeter (e.g. chocolate chip cookie dough, birthday cake, candy bar, cookies & cream, red velvet, s'mores), earthy/nutty (e.g. pistachio), spicy (e.g. gingerbread house, oatmeal cookie, pumpkin pie)-- like I said, there are SO many flavors.
You might also want to consider the texture/consistency: if you like a "crunch", you might enjoy flavors with the mix-ins like chocolate almond crunch.

*WOw. I typed too much. I am so very sorry. I need to work on being concise.
I hope I was at least a little helpful. I am extremely impressed if anyone read everything up to this point - even if only the first paragraph!!*
