First time buying this. Anyone else trying or tried it? It appears to be same amount of carbs and Protein as regular yogurt... So it seems harmless

I love it. I am still pre surgery. I ate it when I was dieting. I had a few bites when I craved ice cream.

I haven't tried that brand, but my nutritionist suggested ENLIGHTENED Ice Cream , high protein and high fiber while being low sugar and low fat.

Let us know how it goes, I'm curious

is it ok to eat low or non fat yogurt after surgery and during the post op weeks?

Yogurt yes,
Mostly Greek yogurt is recommended because of the protein count.

Fro-Yo, I'm not sure when you can add that

Where can you buy Halo Top Ice Cream? Is it a health food item or can it be bought at General supermarket, Target or Wal-Mart? You've piqued my curiosity.

I got it from Walgreen's pharmacy but I have seen it in Walmart too.

I ate some less week and it was great no problems.. tasted awesome

I’ve taken 1/2 cup halo ice cream 1/3 cup fair life fatfree milk and sugar free Hershey’s syrup. Makes a yummy little shake

Now this seems dangerously cool [emoji41]

But I worry about drinking calories...

I can drink way too fast with no problems

I'll look for it once summer rolls around

I love **** out of Halo Top, but I have to make sure I only buy it sporadically, as it's addictive. Even though it's not so bad nutritionally, it's probably not a good thing for me to be eating sweets four days in a row, much less planning my whole day around making sure I have enough carbs left.

I dunno. I think it's awesome, but I still have to make sure I treat it like a special treat, not as a regular thing. The grocery here Mariano's has a brand called Low Cow that is pretty much the same deal but $1.50 cheaper. Mariano's is owned by Kroger, so it may be elsewhere too.

The one I really wonder about is Wink, which is insanely low carb and low cal. It has 100 calories and 20 carbs (16 of which are fiber) in an entire pint. I've seen it advertised online, but no one near me seems to sell it.

Not sure if I even believe something with that small a calorie/carb footprint can even taste good, but I wouldn't mind trying.

At nearly $7 a pint I don't think I will have a problem keeping it sporadic.
I wish there was a really high protein ice-cream

$7?? Holy crap at the price difference between areas in the country. It's usually like $4 something around here. Sometimes we get lucky and they have it on sale and it's something like 2 for $7. Every once in a great while Aldi's will get a shipment and it's in the $3 range. Either way the price point means it's something we don't get too often.

Have you ever checked out the ice cream recipes on the Eggface blog? I tried one a while back and it was decent enough. Granted I use a pretty meh tasting protein powder but serves its purpose for regular shakes. I used it to actually make ice cream and it was okay. With a better protein it would likely taste way better.

I usually do a mix of milk and ice in the blender to give it a milkshake consistency. Normally I'll only ever do that in the evenings if I need to hit protein for the day and acts as a sort of treat. I may try using some of the Halo thrown in to improve upon that.
