New Year, Same Ice Cream with Halo Top®

This post is sponsored by Halo Top®, but all opinions are my own.

A new year may mean a fresh start and new goals for some of us. I know that I personally have set some health and fitness goals for this year to get back to eating and working out in the way that makes me feel the best. This definitely includes being more aware of the food I’m eating after an overly indulgent holiday season. What this does not mean for me is giving up the things I enjoy having regularly! I’m a big advocate of all foods fitting into my lifestyle. Whether it’s french fries or sweets, I don’t believe in restricting myself. What I do believe in is making better choices i.e. sometimes opting to make my own french fries or enjoying a pint of my favorite ice cream, Halo Top® Pints: Light Ice Cream from Walmart.

Halo Top® makes low calorie, high protein ice cream in a variety of flavors making it easy to cut down on calories without sacrificing happiness. You can literally eat the entire pint (or not) since each pint ranges from 280 to 380 calories depending on the flavor. Whether you’re eating Halo Top® straight out of the pint during a movie night, making banana splits, or having a tasting of all of your favorite flavors with your friends, Halo Top® has you covered!

I picked up some of my favorite flavors at my local Walmart thanks to online pickup and delivery – Cookies and Cream, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, and Peanut Butter Cup. You can snag them for yourself here. Each one is super delicious and packed with protein! I love eating them as is or even making a simple, delicious ice cream sandwich.

Another one of my favorite recipes to make with Halo Top® is a more wholesome root beer float. I just put a few scoops of whichever flavor I’m feeling (or maybe I mix a few) and add in root beer flavored kombucha to the top of the glass. I also love using berry flavored seltzer water with the Vanilla Bean. Then you just top it all off with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

I’m also super excited to let y’all in on a little secret. Halo Top® Keto Pops and Halo Top® Fruit Pops are coming to Walmart in April! The fruit pops have 50% less sugar than the leading brand, and each pop has just 45 to 60 calories. I know I’m super excited to give them a try, so definitely be on the lookout this spring!

RXBAR - No B.S.

The first thing that caught my attention about the RXBAR was the packaging. I love that it flat out lists the ingredients right there. They clearly aren't hiding anything in these bars, and that is amazing given all of the processed, well, everything out there right now. These bars are non GMO and contain no dairy, soy, or gluten. They're also paleo and Whole 30 friendly. And to top it all off, they finish it off with No B.S. as one of the ingredients. So I pretty much knew I had to try them.

I decided to go for a sample pack of all the flavors: apple cinnamon, chocolate sea salt, pumpkin spice, blueberry, coconut chocolate, peanut butter, and coffee chocolate, and I worked my way through each one.

Needless to say, I am impressed. Every single flavor tastes like it's labeled. Apple cinnamon tastes like fall in your mouth, blueberry tastes like a blueberry muffin, and pumpkin spice tastes like pumpkin pie (which I'm so happy I had on Halloween), Their ingredients speak for themselves. They're simple, straightforward, and delicious. Plus they're easy and great for fueling or refueling pre or post-workout.

So who should eat RXBARs? I don't think they're a bad choice for anyone. I think they're great for athletes or anyone who works out. But they would really work for anybody as a quick on the go snack or meal. The limited, straight forward ingredients would be a good addition to anybody's (who doesn't have allergies or other ailments towards any of the ingredients) diet.  They're a great source of protein and other nutrients. I'd highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in trying them.
