The 4 Best Dairy-Free Ice Cream Brands To Treat Yo' Self To This Hot Summer

In This Article:

Have no fear, you are not stuck with only fruity sorbets for the rest of your life! After discovering that I was lactose intolerant, I was worried that I would not be able to eat some of my favorite desserts ever again. Yet I was surprised by the number of non-dairy ice cream choices and the companies that made them.

Here is a list of the four best non-dairy ice creams on the market:

So Delicious.

This brand makes their ice creams out of cashew milk, coconut milk, almond milk, and soy milk. Across all four of these dairy alternative milk to choose from, there are 30 different flavors available in pints. There are a dozen different ice cream bars and sandwiches, and 6 "no sugar added" options that So Delicious makes in addition to their pint desserts.

Their line of cashew milk frozen desserts are my personal favorite because it includes the flavors "Chocolate Cookies n' Cream" and "Dark Chocolate Truffle." The cashew milk desserts are nearly the same in texture compared to dairy-based ice creams. I have not tried every single flavor available from So Delicious, but I am excited to taste-test the collection. The chocolate desserts, even the dark chocolate ones, do not taste bitter. Freshly opened, you can scoop directly out of the pint right away!

Coconut Bliss.

26 flavors of coconut milk frozen desserts, ranging from "Chocolate Dipped Raspberry Acai Bars" all the way to "Vanilla Bliss Coconut Sandwiches." Coconut Bliss pints are smooth, delicious, and every single one of their desserts are gluten-free, organic, dairy, and soy free.

Each flavor I've tried of their's is incredible. Even some of my friends and family have started eating Coconut Bliss just because they like it better than ice cream containing dairy. Their website details all of their desserts and even shows the ingredient list and nutritional information. So if you're curious, you can go online and read about your flavors of choice. You can then create your own 6 pack of pints and have it sent to your front door. Products ordered online are shipped in Styrofoam coolers and packed with dry ice.

Talenti.

Though the selection is limited to five flavors of sorbet, Talenti's dairy free desserts stand out because of their smooth and rich flavors. I will always suggest their "Roman Raspberry Sorbet." The great thing about this brand is that their flavors are intense and you feel satisfied with just one serving of half a cup. Their "Cold Brew Coffee" and "Peanut Butter Fudge" sorbets are very popular as well. With the exception of their "Cold Brew Coffee" flavor, their sorbets are vegan and kosher.

Arctic Zero.

Made from whey protein, these lactose-free frozen desserts come as dipped bars and creamy or chunky pints. My top flavors include: "Cake Batter Bars," "Cookie Dough Chip," "Brownie Blast," "Rocky Road Trip," and "Cookie Shake."

There are four different flavors of dipped bars, seven creamy pint varieties and five chunky pint flavors. Arctic Zero's frozen desserts are harder than the other brand's products listed above. The package suggests to thaw your dessert out on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds before you try to eat it. Personally, I microwave their pints for 20 to 25 seconds because my microwave is potent and I don't enjoy soupy ice cream. Their flavors are accurate which is where their strength lies. I recently purchased their "Cookie Dough Chip" and I can attest that it tastes exactly like regular cookie dough ice cream.

Enjoy your summer and treat yo' self!

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
