They&#8217;re made from real fruit and fruit juice and have at least 50 percent less sugar than sorbet from leading brands. There are three flavors &#8212; Mango, Strawberry, and Raspberry. <\/p>\n<h3>How are they?<\/h3>\n<p>They&#8217;re what I expected from Halo Top fruit sorbets. The flavors are good, their textures are hard to distinguish from other sorbets if they&#8217;re allowed to temper a bit, there&#8217;s something a little off about them in the aftertaste, and they have colon-pleasing amounts of fiber.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/htfruitsorbet2.jpeg?resize=600%2C791&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Halo Top Mango Fruit Sorbet\" title=\"htfruitsorbet2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"791\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mango is delightful and my favorite of the bunch. If a friend did a secret Folgers coffee-like switch of H\u00e4agen-Dazs&#8217; Mango Sorbet with this Halo Top one, I&#8217;d probably not realize it, and I should probably be wary of this &#8220;friend.&#8221; Like all the varieties, it uses fruit puree, but this one was the closest to tasting like I&#8217;ve taken a bite of the fruit.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/htfruitsorbet3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Halo Top Strawberry Fruit Sorbet\" title=\"htfruitsorbet3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When I stuffed a spoonful of the strawberry one in my mouth, I instantly thought of strawberry Fruit Roll-Ups or Fruit by the Foot. I enjoyed the flavor, but I find it odd that it tastes like two kids&#8217; treats that don&#8217;t have actual strawberries listed in their ingredients. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/htfruitsorbet4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Halo Top Raspberry Fruit Sorbet\" title=\"htfruitsorbet4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, we have the raspberry one, which doesn&#8217;t remind me of another sorbet brand or a sugary treat beloved by middle school children that I have to unravel. Nevertheless, I did like this flavor. It&#8217;s a bit tart with a raspberry hit that reminds me of something I&#8217;ve had from Jamba Juice. I enjoyed it as much as the strawberry one, which is a little surprising because strawberries are well ahead of raspberries on my internal fruit rankings board.<\/p>\n<p>All three have less than half the sugar of other sorbets in the freezer aisle. For example, a 2\/3 cup serving of H\u00e4agen-Dazs Mango Sorbet has 44 grams of sugar, while the same serving of Halo Top&#8217;s has 17 grams. A combination of sugar and stevia allows that significant drop. While it doesn&#8217;t affect the initial flavors that hit my taste buds, the stevia might be the cause of the aftertaste oddness.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/htfruitsorbet5.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Halo Top Fruit Sorbet Soften\" title=\"htfruitsorbet5.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As with Halo Top ice cream pints, the recommendation is to leave it out for a couple of minutes to soften. It does make a difference, so I will create a catchy slogan off the top of my head. &#8220;Want your Halo Top with the right texture? Wait a few minutes to dig into your treasure.&#8221; Yup, that is the best I can come up with. Totally not a mouthful.<\/p>\n<p>Also, these have no protein, so no gains!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, &#8220;Remember to temper!&#8221; That&#8217;s much better!<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Halo Top Fruit Sorbets are off to a good start, and I&#8217;d like to use this space to request future flavors \u2014 lychee and pineapple.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received free product samples from Halo Top.
