There’s one additional flavor (rainbow swirl) that I haven’t been able to find yet! Once I find it, I’ll add it to the list. I had a taste testing partner (thanks, Carin!) so I combined our thoughts and feedback below. ![]() The texture of the ice cream is pretty similar across flavors, but some flavors do have chunks of candy, nuts, or fudge. It doesn’t have all the stabilizers and softeners that most ice creams contain, so give it a few minutes before you dive in. Halo Top has the best texture if you take it out of the freezer for a few minutes before you eat it. But if you prefer more “natural” foods, this might not be it. So compared to traditional ice cream, it’s probably a healthier choice. This ice cream is also a high protein snack. They’re more “natural” than aspartame, but if you’re wary of those types of sweeteners, you might not want to try these. Halo Top uses erythritol, a sugar alcohol, and stevia which are low-calorie sweeteners. I’ve seen it at a lot of smaller specialty markets, but it can be over $6. Keep an eye on larger grocery store chains like Kroger and Wegman’s which are more likely to have it on sale. (Sometimes on sale for $4.) So while the calories might not deter you from eating a whole pint in one sitting, your wallet could. Before you go buying pints of Halo Top, there are a few things to keep in mind. But since I get so many questions about Halo Top (and let’s be honest, I love those kinds of questions) I thought I’d do a full review. ![]() I’m generally a chocolate fan, and most of the flavors didn’t involve chocolate. To be totally honest, when I heard about the new flavors coming out, I wasn’t really that thrilled about any of them. There is a dairy-free version and a keto version, but for the sake of keeping this post short, I’m mostly going to focus on their traditional flavors. Since they began, they’ve created tons of new flavors and styles. Halo Top started out with a pretty traditional lineup of flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, & Lemon Cake. Is it a good option when you want something sweet but healthier? I think so! Does it taste exactly like Ben and Jerry’s? No. If you check the nutrition facts, a whole PINT of Halo Top is similar in calories to 1/4 pint of the premium stuff. When it comes to the nutritional information, each pint of Halo Top has less than 400 calories (most are between 280-360) and they’re lower in sugar, higher in fiber, and higher in protein than most ice creams. Ok, if you’re lazy, I’ll give you a quick rundown: Halo Top is “healthier” ice cream. ![]() If you have no idea what I’m talking about, go check out my original Halo Top review from way back in 2015. I’ll go ahead and guess that at this point, you’ve at least heard of Halo Top.
