Halo Top Ice Cream Keto Friendly Conclusion

Halo Top vs Rebel Creamery

Average Percent of Total Calories from Net Carbs
 

As you can see from the wall of one star keto friendly ratings, I don’t think Halo Top ice cream is particularly keto friendly. Halo Top doesn’t have a single product below 20% total calories from net carbs. Their first ingredient is either skim milk or coconut milk, and they have plenty of added sugar in every serving.

On the other hand, Rebel Creamery ice cream has 8.5x less percent of calories from net carbohydrates than Halo Top. It’s so low in net carbs, they put the total net carbs right on the front, per pint! Plus no hidden carbs and their first ingredient is actually cream, which is surprisingly rare these days. If you’re looking for a keto friendly ice cream, I highly recommend Rebel Creamery ice cream.
