Valentine's or Singles Awareness Day?

Was recently sent a press release about new "Halo Top ice cream, the first ever, low calorie ice cream that’s non-gmo, 100% natural, high in protein and fiber, and sweetened with organic stevia to lower the sugar content!" That makes it good whether this February 14th you will be celebrating Valentine's or Singles Awareness Day. The press release goes on to say:

Made with cage-free egg whites and skim milk, 1 pint of Halo Top Vanilla Bean contains 280 calories, 28g protein and 16g net carbs. Compare that to the 1,080 calories, 16g of protein and 96g net carbs in a pint of Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean Ice Cream! In addition to containing no cheap corn syrup, no artificial sweeteners, and no synthetic growth hormones and being completely free of gluten, trans fat and gelatin (making it vegetarian friendly), Halo Top is lovingly crafted with premium ingredients like authentic Belgian chocolate, pure Madagascar vanilla, and real California lemons and strawberries (move over fake “strawberry swirl!”) to make the taste heavenly.

I had actually tried the Vanilla kind last August and made a dark chocolate Kit Kat, vanilla, peanut butter, and cinnamon shake with it.

And last night I got some of the Strawberry kind, so tonight I am making a Halo Top Strawberry & Cap'n Crunch Malt. Purely experimental:
