Hold onto your hats, friends. Halo Top [1] just debuted seven brand new flavors [2] — yes, SEVEN — taking the collection to a total of 24 full-time flavs to make healthy eating the most sinfully delicious [3] it has ever been.
If you're unfamiliar with the line of healthy ice creams, here's a quick debriefing: it's high protein, low sugar, low calorie, and low fat. Each pint is under 400 calories, with several flavors ringing in at under 300 and even under 250. For reference, a pint of Häagen Dazs Butter Pecan is approximately 1,200 calories.
Now that you're excited, get even MORE excited. We collectively lost our sh*t over these flavors, especially Pancakes & Waffles. Check out all seven new flavors — that will hit shelves at your local grocer mid to late August (starting Aug. 14) — with a calorie breakdown and taste-tester notes. PSA: need to get your hands on a pint ASAP? Can't wait until late August? You can order online [4].

- Yes! ^^^ Tropical fun.
- Reminds me of Baskin-Robbins!

Pancakes & Waffles

Cinnamon Roll
Calories per pint: 360

- Amazing!!!
- Forget Cinnabon!
- This is perfect!
- YASS!!
- Like a frozen Cinnabon
- What! This tastes like cinnamon-roll dough!

- No! Too sweet.

Candy Bar
Calories per pint: 360

Caramel Macchiato
Calories per pint: 280
If you love caramel Frappuccinos from Starbucks, this is really going to be your favorite flavor — and it's way healthier for you. Consider this: an entire pint of this Halo Top flavor is only 280 calories; a Grande Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino is 420.

- Tastes like a caramel frap!!!
- Tastes just like a caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks!
