Hubby Tony had a meeting, and I had to run a couple of errands. After everything was done I stopped at the grocery store to buy a small container of ice cream. The first thing I saw when I walked into the aisle was a display of Halo Top.
I'd heard of the brand, but never tried it before. Its main selling point is that it's low-calorie, low-sugar, and high-protein.An entire pint contains as many calories as a single serving of other ice creams. As a matter of fact, the label lists the total calorie count on the front of the carton in very large font, although the official serving size was a quarter of the carton.
Based on past experiences, I knew I would eat the entire pint of ice cream in one serving, so I chose the Chocolate Banana flavor. After I paid for my treat I walked out to my car, where I pulled out the spoon I keep for for reasons like this and dug in. The carton lid gave me permission to “Stop when you hit the bottom”. I did.

yikes!
ReplyDeleteWell, glad you enjoyed it. My problems with dairy put ice cream off limits. Oh well....never a top dessert for me anyhow, so no spilt milk (get it) to me. LOL
Thanks for the 'funny' this morning :-). Most times my body is satisfied with fruit (in the summer my mainstay is frozen watermelon), but every once in awhile that doesn't cut it.
DeleteSpoon in the car. You're a hero.
ReplyDeleteI started carrying a 'real' fork and spoon as an alternative to using plastic utensils when I ate at fast food restaurants. However, I've found you never know when they'll come in handy :-)
DeleteI've heard Halo is good. Am wary about added protein. Glad you gave in to your craving, I did that with a Tim Horton apple fritter on Wed.
ReplyDeleteSince I don't eat much meat it's actually a good thing that I added the extra protein. I've found that if you don't take care of a craving it will do you in.
DeleteI've heard nothing but good things about Halo Top and am hoping against hope that it's available here in Canada. Off to check.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
DeleteLooks good!
