I mean, they call me The Trendy Vegan for a reason...because I'm here to tell you what's trending: Vegan Ice Cream!
It's everywhere really. On food trucks, in Ben & Jerry's (which we've discussed before,) on the freezer shelves at Whole Foods, in private markets. And kids - it's some tasty stuff. I'm not gonna lie - I had two pints of Ben & Jerry's in the freezer and I threw out the extra - not because it wasn't awesome, but because I wanted to be sure I could maintain my composure (and my almost summer waistline!)
If you click here you'll see a massive list of opportunities for you to jazz up those dessert taste buds of yours and get your sweet teeth smiling!
