Halo Top earns mixed reviews: the brand delivers a credible low-calorie, higher-protein alternative that many find creamy enough with creative flavors like Birthday Cake, Red Velvet, Caramel Cookie Crunch, and Keto Macadamia Nut Cookie, but it often falls short of full-fat ice cream with icy textures, artificial sweetener aftertaste, and inconsistent mix-ins. Reviews cite satisfying volume and flavor variety as strengths, while weaknesses include watery or grainy textures, uneven flavor quality, and some products (like ready-to-bake cookies) baking up too soft and overly sweet.
I have the strawberry cheesecake mix-ins version of Halo Top which is one of their higher calorie options at 490 calories per pint. I think that it is still not a very good ice cream. I would rather spend the money and calories on something more fulfilling.
I love Halo Top as a light frozen treat because of its creative flavors and great taste. Most of the time lower-calorie ice cream can be lacking in flavor. I don't experience that with Halo Top. I love that they have fun flavors like chocolate cake batter that make it possible to have a fun treat without all the calories.
I’ve been eating Halo Top for years. I love how low calorie it is and that it has protein. The flavors are all pretty good. I liked the new mix in variety. The caramel cookie crunch was my favorite flavor.
I've tried two flavors from this brand. The chocolate chip cookie dough was pretty good, but the cookies & cream felt way too watery and tasteless. This mixed result makes me hesitant to want to try new flavors because what if I pick another dud?
