Today, I’m taste-testing a new contender in the high-protein dessert space: @ProteinPints.
I managed to grab four flavors at @Target – Chocolate, Mint Chip, Cookie Dough, and Strawberry. Unfortunately, the popular Peanut Butter was sold out everywhere (which honestly might be a good sign).
Each pint packs 30g of protein, contains 5g of sugar or less, and is free from artificial sweeteners. The nutritional breakdown varies from pint-to-pint but let’s compare the nutrition breakdown to one of its biggest competitors:
🔘 Protein Pints (Strawberry): 360 calories, 30g protein, 1g fiber
🔘 Halo Top (classic line, Caramel): 340 calories, 15g protein, 16g fiber
Taste-wise, chocolate is hands down the best flavor in the Protein Pints lineup. The mint chip was my second favorite while the cookie dough, being one of my favorite ice cream flavors, was the biggest letdown.
The flavors are rich, creamy, and doesn’t taste like “diet ice cream.” That said, Halo Top still has the edge when it comes to variety – they’ve nailed flavors with swirls, chunks, and inclusions that make it feel more indulgent.
My take? If you’re trying to hit your protein goal and want a frozen treat, Protein Pints is worth trying. Personally, I still lean toward Halo Top for the fun flavors and higher fiber content, but I love that Protein Pints is bringing more options to the freezer aisle for people with fitness-focused goals. I’m definitely going to buy this again and am excited to try the Peanut Butter.
