Today's healthy food review is on Halo Top ice cream!
This ice cream is high in protein, low in fat, and has 240-280 calories per pint. I have tried many other light ice creams, and this one is by far the best one. Plus, their gold-detailed pints are so cute!
I have tried the vanilla bean flavor and chocolate flavor, and I plan to get my hands on the rest of the flavors soon. Here's what I thought:
Texture: This is maybe not as creamy as a full fat ice cream, but it is not icy like Arctic Zero's desserts, and is still quite creamy. Leaving it out on the countertop for a minute before scooping does improve the texture a lot.
Flavor: These taste AMAZING. I preferred the vanilla bean flavor: you could see little flecks of black vanilla bean in the ice cream, and the vanilla bean flavor came through. It was so much deeper than a plain "vanilla" ice cream.
The chocolate was great too, even though I preferred the vanilla by far. It kind of tasted like a packet of hot chocolate mix in ice cream form. Still delicious, though!
Afterthoughts: While it's definitely not a bad thing to eat the whole pint at once with Halo Top, I didn't feel like I needed to. I was perfectly satisfied after one 1/2 cup serving. I probably would have felt bad for blowing $5 worth of ice cream in one sitting anyways.
I also noticed that I didn't feel gross after dessert. Higher fat ice creams (like coconut milk based ones) make me feel sluggish after a serving, but this one was easy on the digestion.
Overall, they were amazing! The vanilla is definitely going to be a staple. They are a little pricey at around $5 a pint, depending on where you find them, but it's always important to treat yourself. ;-)
