If I had to guess, I would think there’d be quite the overlap between people who like Halo Top ice cream and people who love Trader Joe’s. After all, both brands are about treats to enjoy in your own home without spending a bunch of money. Well, now Trader Joe’s has its own take on Halo Top, with a new “reduced-calorie, protein-packed ice cream” called Trader Joe’s Light Ice Cream.
According to Trader Joe’s, the new ice cream is “rich, fluffy, and full-flavored, combining a delicious ice cream base with glorious mix-ins.” It comes in two flavors: Joe-Joe’s Cookies & Cream and Chocolate Peanut Butter. No plain vanilla and chocolate around here. (Well, not yet, at least.)
The Joe-Joe’s Cookies & Cream has a “sweet, vanilla ice cream base” that is mixed with pieces of Joe-Joe’s Cookies. Joe-Joe’s Cookies are Trader Joe’s take on Oreos. They come in a bunch of flavors, but the ones in the ice cream are the original chocolate cookie with cream filling version. For this flavor, TJ’s suggests that those who want to channel the kid party dessert “worms in dirt” add some gummy candies to the ice cream, too.
Moving on to the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor — it’s for any sweet and salty fans out there and features “a creamy, milk chocolate ice cream base with velvety swirls of salty peanut butter throughout.” For this one, the company suggests pairing it with whipped cream (such as the Trader Joe’s Organic Midnight Moo) or with peanut butter cups to add even more chocolate and peanut flavor.
