Since both protein and fiber are important to a flexible dieter, this is a big win win for me as well! Halo Top also enhances the nutrition of their ice cream by adding prebiotic fiber into every batch as well as boosts the protein content by adding concentrated milk protein. This is a win for me as I just won’t choose a low-calorie ice cream if it has a strange aftertaste.
