Probably should’ve started with the basics and compared the vanillas first, but here we are.
I will keep this short, because there’s not much to compare.
For starters, both of these are pretty dang good for what they are. Makes me wonder why I never reach for vanilla, thinking I’ll be bored or something. Especially since I LOVE vanilla. (plus, these are also just great to get creative with by adding your own mix-ins).
The texture of Halo Top always seems to be a little bit icier (which I actually don’t mind). Straight out of the freezer, they’re pretty on par, but once left on the counter for a bit Nick’s ice cream texture holds up nicely, while Halo Top’s sort of melts around the edges.
Flavor wise though, Nick’s has a more forward (but not artificial tasting) vanilla flavor. Being less calories than Halo Top doesn’t hurt either.
Nick‘s is the winner.
Now as for the nutritional aspects, I’m pretty much a novice when it comes to the wild ingredients of these diet ice creams (yes, I know, they’re terrible for you) but if anybody has any input on that it’d be greatly appreciated.
Guess I didn’t keep this short after all, oops.

Nicks definitely has more artificial flavor imo. I’ve had 2 jugs in the freeze for like 6 months because I didnt like them
