Halo Top is popular for good reason: There are dozens of creative flavors to choose from, all clocking in at less than 400 calories per protein-packed pint. "10/10 recommend if you love ice cream but have fitness goals you gotta reach," one reviewer wrote. "A pint of heaven with a halo on top. Truly angelic."
We agree! Pro tip: Leave containers out on the countertop to thaw slightly before digging in. You'll be rewarded with a rich flavor and creamy texture.
Technically, this is frozen Greek yogurt, but it's so good that we don't care. The flavors are bold (who doesn't love chocolate chip cookie dough??), and the mix-ins are great. One person described these Yasso Greek Yogurt bars as "habit forming" (in the good way). At 100 calories per bar, we can't see why it wouldn't be!

Best Keto-Friendly
Englightened
Yet another contender in the higher-protein, lower-calorie market, Enlightened's ice cream has a creamy texture and delicious flavors. "These ice creams help keep me on track," said one reviewer.

Best Dairy-Free Pints
Arctic Zero
Ever since Arctic Zero announced a whole new product line back in 2018, it's been a huge contender in the low-cal ice cream game. We tried it and we were stunned. It's smooth in texture, the flavors linger on the tongue, and a single serving clocks in at roughly 320 calories a pint. Plus, Arctic Zero has a whole line of non-dairy options that have rave reviews: "it gives the rich, silky taste of a frozen dairy dessert," said one buyer.

Best Dairy-Free Treats

Who says we can't go back to our childhood? Reviewers agree that this time-honored classic tastes "just the way [they] remember them." At just 100 calories a bar, it's an unexpectedly great low-cal option to satisfy those late-night sugar cravings.

Best Reduced-Fat
Favorite Day
If the comments on its Target product page are to be believed, people are seriously obsessed with this stuff. Pints of Favorite Day, which generally deliver around 380 calories per pint, come in flavors like chocolate peanut butter, mocha cold brew, and cookie dough. You'll definitely want to pick this up on your next Target run. "My only complaint is that they don't sell a half gallon version," said one customer.
You won't miss regular ice cream once you've tried Oatly's oat-based non-dairy desserts. It's available in a variety of flavors like strawberry, Fudge Brownie, and Salted Caramel.

Best Ice Cream Sandwiches
Skinny Cow
This classic low-cal ice cream brand has tons of great products, but we're partial to these Vanilla Gone Wild ice cream sandwiches. Despite being covered in chocolate, they're still just 150 calories a sandwich.
One reviewer said that the texture recalls a soft serve, which makes it "easier to bite into." Cookie cravings, you've met your match.

Best Coconut-Based
So Delicious
So Delicious has certainly made a name for itself in the dairy-free ice cream world, and if you're an Almond Joy lover, you'll definitely want to pick up these So Delicious coconut almond bars. It's like a candy bar in ice cream form. One reviewer said it's "crunchy goodness on a stick!"

Best Avocado-Based
Cado Avocado Frozen Dessert
Okay, so this technically isn't ice cream—but you'd never know it! Lower calorie but full of flavor, this non-dairy dessert is made with cold-pressed avocado. We're particularly enamored with the Deep Dark Chocolate offering, which is packed with creamy bittersweet chocolate.
"As someone who just developed allergies to coconut and nuts, and has been lactose intolerant for years, it put me in a tough spot finding a non dairy ice cream," said a shopper. "Cado was a wonderful surprise."

Best With Mix-ins
Ben & Jerry's
Ben & Jerry's light ice cream flavors shave about 100 calories off their regular counterparts, reducing fat by 60 to 70 percent without sacrificing the brand's famously rich flavor and thick, creamy textures.
According to one reviewer, it was "frickin' amazeballs," with an "amazingly smooth and rich flavor that socks you in the back of the throat and inside your mouth." You can't beat that!
