Following the debut of Halo Top’s Keto Series in early 2020, the Le Mars, Iowa, USA-headquartered frozen dessert maker is adding an on-the-go option to the lineup with Keto Pops. The conveniently portioned sticks are available in four flavors including Sea Salt Caramel, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Berry Swirl and Chocolate Cheesecake —all of which are dipped in a rich chocolate-flavored coating.
Just like Halo Top’s Keto Series pints, Keto Pops are made with creamy, protein-packed ultra-filtered skim milk, which delivers fewer net carbohydrates than regular ice cream and addresses a broad range of dietary needs. With net carbs ranging from two to three grams per pop, consumers can indulge in the dessert without sacrificing wellness goals.
“We created our Keto Series so ice cream fans could enjoy a delicious treat while keeping wellness goals on track, and new Keto Pops do just that for on-the-go dessert lovers,” said Chelsea Parker, senior marketing manager of the Wells Enterprises company. “The new Keto Pops and pints aren’t just for those looking to lower their carb or sugar intake, but for anyone who wants to enjoy a tasty dessert.”
A brief description of the new Halo Top Keto Pops offerings follows:
