I'll Have Some Delicious Ice Cream (Hold the Cream)

IMG_6016.jpg

It’s OK. We’re all thinking it…Non-dairy ice cream just doesn’t cut it! And if you’re anything like me you’ll end up buying the Ben & Jerry’s frozen yogurt stuffed with so much cookie dough you might as well be eating regular ice cream! Ah…ice cream. Just thinking about it makes me want some.

But if you’re trying to stay healthy or if you can’t tolerate the lactose, there are options that are just as good if not better!

GASP.

Don’t believe me? Put these in your scoop and try it.

Scream Sorbet This California-made sorbet knocks ordinary sorbet out of the ballpark. It’s rich and smooth with a variety of flavors (starting at $8 for 12 ounces). Made from local ingredients and with the help of a Pacojet (an extrodinary machine that produces the smoothest of ice creams), Scream can be shipped anywhere nationwide and even customized! 

Artic Zero Ice Cream Gluten free, fat-free, all natural, low carb, no patience for lactose ice cream! This delicious alternative comes in pints that contain only 136 calories. That’s 384 calories LESS than Ben & Jerry’s vanilla frozen yogurt!!!

The Spunky Coconut Dairy-Free Ice Cream Vegan blogger Kelly Brozyna’s new cookbook provides simple recipes for a homemade ice cream experience. You will need an ice cream maker though, but with all these innovative recipes it’s worth the investment.

Genuto At $12 per pint, this gelato-like ice cream is also totally worth the investment. It’s rich and creamy, but made entirely from nuts. Better yet, Genuto (available at select Whole Foods stores) also contains beneficial probiotics and all-natural spices. Try the creamy pistachio and chocolaty cardamom – mmmmm!
