Halo Top is creamy, delicious, low in sugar, with higher protein for the perfect anytime indulgence.
Diabetes Canada recommends limiting daily sugar intake to less than 10 per cent of total daily calories, which equates to about 50 grams for a 2,000-calorie diet. People living with diabetes or at risk for type 2 diabetes typically need to limit their sugar intake even further.
For the one in four Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes, this limitation can be especially challenging. While there are many benefits to consuming less sugar — including reducing dental caries, preventing weight gain, and having a favourable impact on other illnesses, such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke — there’s no denying that everyone deserves a sweet treat now and then.
That’s where Halo Top comes in, with only 8g – 12g of sugar per serving it’s a unique treat with none of the guilt.
Why choose Halo Top?
Halo Top’s tagline — Indulgence Reimagined — perfectly captures the brand’s refreshing take on what “treating yourself” means in today’s wellness-focused world. By delivering all the creamy, rich flavour of ice cream without the usual sugar overload, Halo Top has redefined indulgence, aligning it with health goals instead of compromising them.
“The original founders didn’t want to compromise all the positive lifestyle changes they were making, and realized there was gap in the market. Inspired and taking matters into their own hands they created Halo Top – delivering a solution that tastes as delicious as regular ice cream with lower calories, lower fat, lower sugar, and also high in protein,” says Anne-Marie Docherty, President of Halo Top.
Halo Top took off disrupting the category so much, it was named one of TIME magazine’s 25 best inventions in 2017. The brand quickly expanded globally, hitting Canadian shelves in 2018 and proudly making its pints right here in Canada.
All the Flavour, Less Sugar
As a low-calorie dessert with natural sweeteners, Halo Top allows people living with diabetes to enjoy a treat — whether as a bowl ice cream or getting creative with Halo Top recipes, like smoothies, ice cream pies, or mocktails — anytime without compromising on their healthy lifestyle choices.
Halo Top’s nutritional profile is truly impressive compared to other ice cream brands, all without sacrificing taste. “Our product has about a quarter of the sugar, a third of the calories, and an eight of the fat as traditional indulgent ice cream, and it’s also higher in protein,” says Docherty. This makes Halo Top a great option for those limiting their sugar intake.
