If there’s any dessert/treat that I CAN’T live without, it’s ice cream.
Unlike a few of my friends & family members, I’m very fortunate to have a higher tolerance when it comes to dairy. At the same time, I feel for anyone who dreams of having just one bite without discomfort & consequences. I can relate on that spectrum when I watch people eat anything with peanut butter & wish I could do the same..
On another note, ice cream doesn’t have your calorie & fat intake in mind when it presents itself to you. In fact, I had to cut it cold turkey at the beginning of the year for a while when I decided to really focus on getting my body back. I’m not saying ice cream was the sole cause of the additional weight I gathered last winter, but having it 2-3x a week without properly exercising didn’t help me either.
Given my family has had to experiment with several brands offering dairy-free options, while keeping in mind that my desire for a bowl of ice cream still exists but is at a forced limitation, nothing has compared to the satisfaction that Halo Top Ice Cream has provided for us all.

HERE’S WHY:
For us & myself, Halo Top is the only low calorie, low fat ice cream with flavors that genuinely taste delicious & as the real thing. For instance when I take a bite of the Lemon Cake flavor, bursts of lemon & vanilla cake batter send my taste buds on a blissful journey. Both the dairy & dairy-free collections of flavors Halo Top offers are unique & go beyond the standard chocolate, strawberry, & vanilla.
Don’t worry, those OG flavors are available as well & quite tasty too!
Halo Top uses Stevia as its sugar replacement, which is plant-based and has been used as a sweetener for more than 200 years, and Erythritol as its sugar alcohol, which is naturally found in fruits like pears & grapes. And unlike the others, Erythritol doesn’t affect blood glucose or cause bloating.
See how Halo Top stacks up against its competitors like Haagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s.
