However, I will absolutely claim that it tastes creamy. This is because, well, there’s very little fat or sugar in it, so it’s not gonna be creamy- looking like your average fat-laden ice cream. Like each carton explains, it is ideal to let the ice cream soften a bit before eating purely because the texture can appear a little dry at first.

But then again, how could you make an ice cream extremely low-fat if it’s loaded with nuts? Despite the presence of actual pistachios, the rest of the ingredients were beautiful, and the ice cream was gorgeously green so I carried on…and took a bite. Halo Top’s pistachio ice cream doesn’t even have pistachios in it…so I was extremely skeptical. So you see, I’m a pistachio ice cream connoisseur…the responsibility of eating such a flavor of ice cream is not something I take lightly. The first pint I tried was Pistachio. This is my favorite Ben & Jerry’s flavor–it makes my heart sing, and my husband knows he can perk up any day by coming home with a pint in-hand. Use this search tool to find which stores near you are selling Halo Top. At your average grocery store, it’ll likely cost the same as a pint of Ben & Jerry’s: about $5.00. While you can certainly find this at your higher-end grocery stores, like Whole Foods, I’ve actually found it in two mainstream chains in New England that are considered more “budget” grocery stores.ĭepending on where you purchase it, Halo Top can cost anywhere from $4 to $7. With 240 calories and 24 grams of protein in an entire pint, it’s almost worth trading your protein shake for–although you’ll of course get 16 grams of carbs, too, but that’s still pretty low for an entire pint of ice cream! (Some pints, like Cookies n’ Cream, have 320 calories.) Price & Where to Buy: (Their oatmeal flavor is surprisingly gluten-free.) And none of them contain milk that was sourced from a cow given growth hormones. There are no mysteries or funky additives.Īnd thankfully, most flavors are actually gluten-free except for most of the cookie flavors. While the ingredients aren’t flawlessly “clean,” they’re all relatively real identifiable ingredients. Ingredients in Vanilla Flavor: Milk and cream, eggs, erythritol, prebiotic fiber, milk protein concentrate, organic cane sugar, vegetable glycerin, organic vanilla extract, organic vanilla beans, sea salt, organic carob gum, organic guar gum, organic stevia.

Both stevia and erythritol have little-to-no impact on blood sugar levels.Īs you can see, after subtracting fiber and erythritol, there are 4 “net-carbs” in a serving of Halo Top. Halo Top is sweetened with stevia (a plant that happens to taste like sugar) and erythritol (a sugar alcohol derived from fruit). Halo Top ice cream is low-carb, low-fat, and high-protein.
