My quest to find "The Best Healthy" Ice-Cream!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!


Everyone loves ice cream. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry… everyone has a favorite! So I made it my mission (along with some helpful taste-testers!) to find the best low-calorie ice cream.


1. Coconut Bliss- vanilla (non-dairy)           
2. So Delicious- vanilla (non-dairy)
3. Halo Top- vanilla (low sugar, low calorie, high protein)
4. Pro Yo- vanilla (low sugar, low calorie, high protein)

Spoons in hand, my taste-testers and I were about to dig in until… I was pleasantly surprised that the Halo Top ice cream says to let it sit on your counter for a bit before digging in. Why? Well, low-calorie ice creams freeze harder than regular ice cream, so we’ll start with Pro Yo, and come back to Halo Top.


Pro Yo: This ice cream is for someone who really likes protein powder and is a little crazy about it. My taste-testers and I didn't like it at all (personally, I don’t like the taste of any kind of protein powder- so this ice cream wouldn’t be my first pick), but for those who don’t mind the taste of protein powder, this is your go-to!  

Halo Top: This was the bomb! My hubby and I love it! It’s creamy, sweet and actually tastes like vanilla. An added perk, you can eat the whole pint for only 240 calories, that's crazy! There is a slight aftertaste that isn’t too great but if you’re going to store bought ice cream, you should definitely add a pint to your cart!  


So Delicious: When it comes to non-dairy ice cream, I’m not a fan. It reminds me of when I was a kid and would go to the diet control center and they told me to eat ice milk! My husband wasn’t a fan of So Delicious ice cream either.

So Delicious’s almond milk ice cream wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t the vanilla flavor I was expecting, it was more on the icier side.  


Coconut Bliss: Is made with coconut milk so it's on the creamy side. Bliss received an A+ from my hubby. With a strong vanilla flavor this ice cream is a great option if you’re lactose-free, but be weary, it’s a little high in calories.


So overall HALO TOP was the winner of low fat, low calorie, and Coconut Bliss was our runner up!

Enjoy your" FAV' ice-cream!
Special Thanks to my FABULOUS Taste Testers!!!

If you have an ice cream that you adore please tell me I would love to try it?
