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. Nineteen pints and a frightening amount of spoons later, here’s how they each hold up.I’ll go ahead and guess that at this point, you’ve at least heard of Halo Top. Halo Top’s Keto and dairy-free lineups has been excluded from this ranking because we're talking ice cream here. Its brightly designed labels beckon with flavors like Blueberry Crumble, Chocolate Cake Batter, Mango, and Sea Salt Caramel.īut how does Halo Top really stack up against itself? As the resident, self-proclaimed ice cream connoisseur, it seemed only fitting that I sample each flavor. Halo Top shares shelf space with pint pioneers Häagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s, and is undeniably everywhere now, amassing adoring followers at every corner of the freezer aisle. And, thanks to an ever-growing keto-friendly line with two new flavors, even the diet-abiding can dig into Halo Top. Pints clock in between 240 and 360 calories.
We’re leaving that trope behind and, in this decade, embracing Halo Top’s light ice cream for what it is: a low-sugar, protein-packed treat that is legitimately great-tasting.
When Halo Top unleashed a roster of low-calorie ice cream packed in colorful pints in the early 2010s, the “joke” was that the newly single set could have their sad frozen dessert without guilt.
