Halo Top is a brand of ice cream that claims to be healthy. It contains a large amount of protein and around 300 calories per carton. Halo uses stevia and Erythritol. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, which is different than most artificial sweeteners. Halo Top is not as creamy as the ice cream most people are accustomed. The thick texture common in ice cream is sometimes accomplished with artificial additives, which Halo Top does not use. According to the author of this blog, Halo Top is good and the author ranks some of the flavors.

Key Takeaways:

  • Halo Top does not use artificial softeners, so the creaminess is somewhat less than other ice creams.
  • Halo Top claims to use organic stevia in the production of their ice cream.
  • The product also purportedly uses Erythritol, a sugar alcohol, chosen for its lack of effect on blood glucose and because it will not cause bloating.

“The ice cream is indeed low in calories, low in sugar, low in fat, low in carbs, and packed with protein. Whether this is done via science or a ritualistic blood-letting ceremony held in a walk-in freezer in Los Angeles, I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW.”
