I haven't tried this yet, but am interested in learning more about as a "special occasion" treat versus every week treat while I'm working to lose weight. Have you tried it and what do you think?

I love it. It has better macros than most yogurts.

I have about 1/2 a serving size 35 grams weighed on the scale, with my Protein brownies.

Anything to feel normal, eat normal. Three weeks post-op and I feel like a victim, pushing liquids and food and still not meeting minimum. Ice cream like this may work as a reminder that treats can be in my future.

I tried the vanilla (pre-surgery) and wasn't wowed, but it was one of the lower "rankings" on that site, so maybe another flavor would be better. It wasn't creamy like ice cream.

The Mint Chocolate Chip is pretty good. You are supposed to let it sit out for 10 minutes or so, otherwise it can taste icy.

I love the strawberry. That and sugar free popsicles are a life saver for me.

I tried chocolate mint it's OK it just tasted a little gritty to me. The chocolate was a bit smoother but they're good????

I like the strawberry and the lemon.

The thing is, if you go like 6 months on Protein shakes and dense protein. They will taste pretty delicious.

They don't taste like regular ice cream and that is fine, they are not regular ice cream. I like that they don't taste like regular ice cream, it is a reminder and keeps me mindful of my eating.

Like I said I usually just have 1/2 a serving, just a little taste is enough.

I have tried it. For whatever reason, ice cream of any kind feels like I have a block of cement in my stomach. I have even tried lactose free.

i have finally decided it is the cold that my pouch simply cannot handle.

The boyfriend likes it but I think it tastes chalky and gritty. I'd much rather do regular ice cream in the 100 calorie sizes. Klondike bars makes 100 calorie versions and that works better for me.

Your thoughts on the nutrition facts?

Where can you buy it? I'm in NC and haven't found it in any grocery store near me.

Birthday Cake Halo Top is the business. I mean come on, it has sprinkles in it. [emoji512][emoji510]

These are the nutrition facts from the site.

If you subtract the Fiber and the sugar alcohol, it has 4 net carbs and 6 grams of Protein. I have it with http://www.eatmeguiltfree.com/collections/brownies/products/blondie-brownie

If you compare it to regular ice cream, well there is no comparison as far as carbs and sugars go.

I had this off and on since 6 months and I still managed to lose like 100lbs pounds having a little once or twice a week.

I haven't had any in a while, because it is freezing, but as long as ice cream isn't a trigger for someone I don't see an issue.

Also how fresh the halo top is, seems to have an effect on the taste. Some cartons taste better than others, you want to buy it some place with a high churn rate.

@@Kaylamh Whole Foods has it, all the other places that have it around here are local places that you wouldn't have.

It's delightful. Having it in the freezer helps to tame cravings for a dessert. Even if I don't end up having it, knowing it's available to me helps to prevent me from wanting to stroll over to one of the three frozen yogurt places in my neighborhood.

I also like that you cannot just grab it and have one spoonful after another from the carton because it requires some time on the counter to reach a creamy consistency. In the past the primary reason I refrained (well, at least tried to) from buying ice cream was that I'd just grab it for a bite or two at a time, and would mindlessly consume the carton instead of spooning out a correct portion and actually sitting down and enjoying. With Halo Top I use a measuring cup to get the precise serving after it's reached the right texture, and then put it right back into the freezer to prevent overindulgence. If I wanted seconds I'd have to go through the process of waiting for it to be creamy again.

The negative of it is that does get freezer burn more quickly. Or at least in my experience it does. It could be because it stays in the freezer longer for the reasons mentioned above, because I'm having it in smaller portions when my sweet tooth strikes instead of a spoonful every time I open the freezer. We had to throw away the cartons after getting back from Christmas vacation.

Whole Foods had it on sale yesterday at our location (Santa Monica), and I picked up Pistachio but haven't tried it yet. I think it will be really good. Thus far my favorite has been chocolate Almond Crunch and oatmeal Cookie. I've also had Lemon Cake, which I liked, and Birthday Cake, which I thought was meh. Decent, but will not repurchase it.
