Hold onto your hats, friends. Halo Top just debuted seven brand new flavors — yes, SEVEN — taking the collection to a total of 24 full-time flavs to make healthy eating the most sinfully delicious 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.

With big pieces of mochi and a mildly sweet green-tea flavor, this pint feels like a decadent sundae with toppings.

Pancakes & Waffles

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

Chocolate Covered Banana

Calories per pint: 280

The least loved of the bunch was CCB — but if you like banana-flavored candy, this one will certainly be for you!

  • Fake banana flavor, but tastes like Runts with Hershey's chocolate
  • Tastes like Laffy Taffy
  • Fake banana :(
  • Laffy Taffy for sure
  • No! Too sweet.
  • Too sweet
  • Tastes fake

★★★★

Candy Bar

Calories per pint: 360

Candy bar was polarizing — some thought it was the best of the bunch, while others wanted to skip it entirely. Summary: if you like Ferrero Rocher candies, you'll love this one.

  • Yummy!
  • Love the chocolate syrup and pieces of toasted nuts.
  • Tastes kind of like toffee or a Heath bar!
  • Kinda tastes like Ferrero Rocher
  • No
  • Best flavor so far!
  • Too much going on

★★★☆

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.

  • Nice and caramely
  • Tastes like a caramel frap!!!
  • Tastes just like a caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks!
  • Good, but a bit too sweet for me.
  • Wish it had a stronger coffee flavor.
  • YASSS tastes like Starbs!!
