Halo Top

While everybody's waiting for Starbucks to drop the Pumpkin Spice Latte, low-calorie ice cream company Halo Top Creamery is getting in on the action, releasing a perfect-for-fall treat that can compete with the PSL. Starting next week, you'll be able to find pints of Pumpkin Pie ice cream in stores.

It's a surprise seasonal flavor, and the window to try it is pretty short — you have until the end of November to score some, according to the brand's publicist. The pumpkin spice-infused ice cream is studded with pie crust pieces, making it taste just like the classic holiday dessert, only frozen.

An entire pint will set you back 360 calories, making it one of Halo Top's more decadent options (most pints hover around 240 to 320), whereas a slice of traditional pumpkin pie averages about 316 cals, according to USDA data. The ice cream's also made a name for itself among the fitness community for the amount of protein it packs, and this flavor's no different: 20 grams per pint, compared to about 7 grams for a slice of the real thing. (Of course, it has raised some concerns among nutritionists, who advice against using the low-cal, high-protein ice cream as a meal replacement, as some people have done.)

It's also lower-cal than a grande PSL, which clocks in at 380 calories and 14 grams of protein.

This news comes about a week after Halo Top launched seven new permanent flavors, including caramel macchiato, chocolate banana, and rainbow sherbet. There's no word on whether other seasonal flavors are in the works, but as the brand continues to grow, it's a safe bet there will be more to come — especially as competitors like Breyers and even grocery store chains like Kroger get in on the healthy-ish ice cream trend.
