We got Taco Bell breakfast long before the rest of the country. While I've never tried it, a lot of my friends are big fans. More exciting to me: Blue Bunny is testing out dairy free ice cream made with almond milk here! I mean hello ice cream! That is something to get excited about!
Made with almond milk and natural flavors, these ice creams are cholesterol-free, contain healthy fats and are an excellent source of calcium. We gotta look out for our bones! :D Blue Bunny's Dairy Free ice cream is available in 16 ounce containers in the following four flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Mocha Fudge and Mint Chocolate Chip. They all sounded good, but when I was at the store the Mocha Fudge and Mint Chocolate Chip called my name.
Check out those ribbons of fudge. I wasn't sure what to expect with almond ice cream, but dug in and found that it tasted like ice cream. It was chocolate-y, smooth, and rich just like the standard dairy-based fare.
We all have things we struggle with in life. Thankfully food intolerance is not one of my struggles. Aside from choosing not to eat red meat or pork for health reasons, my body can handle any food I feed it. While I looked at this product as a fun new dessert to try to potentially supplement my dairy-based ice cream cravings, I realize there are people out there who cannot eat dairy and alternatives like this one are their only option to enjoy foods everyone else takes for granted.
If you are not able or choose not to eat dairy but still want ice cream, you're in luck. Blue Bunny Dairy Free gives you the ability to indulge without it feeling like you're settling, or enjoying second best. And if you're a dairy eater that just wants to enjoy some good ice cream with subtle hints of almond in every bite, you're in luck too!
Cheers to good ice cream for all!
