The moment batch of Halo Top flavors has debuted,and when the frosty shipment came to the POPSUGAR offices, we collectively lost our sh*t. Seeing as how the first time we tried Halo Top's original flavors we ended up with best taste test results ever, and we've been craving this healthy ice cream ever since.
A quick refresher: Halo Top is tall-protein,low-calorie, low-carb, and low-sugar. Not that we'd ever encourage you to polish off a pint solo,but whether you accidentally happened to do so, it wouldn't be the worst thing to ever happen to you.
