How to Fuel for Your Exams with Halo Top

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Wash U chapter.

Whether it be for a quiz, test, midterm, or final, studying can make you hungry. As someone with a big sweet tooth, I’m constantly looking for a healthy dessert that tastes good. We all know that feeling of late-night hunger that creeps up after a long day. 

Lately, I’ve been munching on Halo Top ice cream, a low calorie and delicious ice cream without the guilt. For example, Halo Top Vanilla Bean only has 2 grams of fat while Ben and Jerry’s vanilla has 16 grams. Here’s a rundown on how to pair studying with these scrumptious sweets! 

Running on coffee: Caramel Macchiato or Chocolate Mocha Chip 

When you’re studying around the clock, coffee is key. The Caramel Macchiato and Chocolate Mocha Chip are creative coffee flavors in frozen form. The Caramel Macchiato even has real caramel pieces in it, which is my favorite part to spoon into. Although there is no caffeine actually in the ice cream, it tastes like coffee and you’ll get plenty of energy from the sugar. 

Dreaming of summer nights and campfires: S’mores

If you’re anything like me, you count down the days until summer. By the time finals come around, the only thing on your mind seems to be tropical beaches, not biology. My favorite parts of summer is the campfires and s’mores. The ice cream has hints of marshmallow, graham cracker, and chocolate throughout. Although this isn’t as good as a real s’more, it hits the spot while waiting for summer.

Partying like it’s your birthday: Birthday Cake 

Birthdays are the best days, so why not make it like your birthday every day? This will not only satisfy you but put a smile on your face through studying. Celebrate your studying efforts with this flavor.

Eating raw cookie dough: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 

No time to bake those cookies you’ve been craving while studying? No oven in your dorm? Look no further. With real chunks of cookie dough in a rich vanilla base, this flavor perfectly combines two of my favorite desserts, cookies and ice cream, without the guilt. If I had to pick only one flavor out of this bunch, this would be the one. 

Having breakfast for dinner: Pancakes and Waffles 

You may be studying late into the night but there’s never a bad time to eat breakfast. It tastes sweet like syrup, and you’ll be counting down the days until you’re eating real pancakes and waffles again. Plus, grabbing a pint in the freezer is much easier than heating up the griddle. 

Candy Monster: Candy Bar or Peanut Butter Cup

Anybody who has a sweet tooth will especially love these flavors. The peanut butter cups tastes just like Reese’s. The candy bar is super chocolatey and is a mix of all your favorite candies. Since this ice cream is low calorie, it’s healthier than eating a whole candy bar. 

All in all, Halo Top will get you through all your studying and late night cravings. They have over 20 dairy flavors so click here to find Halo Top near you! Even if you can’t eat dairy, Halo Top has 14 dairy free flavors.
