Spring is in the air and summer is on its way. Next time you’re grocery shopping, add one of these vegan ice creams to your cart as a weekend treat!
There’s nothing quite like ice cream on a hot summer’s day. For a long time, vegans were limited to sorbets and had to skip the creaminess of ice cream. But, not anymore. Thanks to an increase in the demand for plant-based, vegan-friendly products, more ice cream brands are bringing vegan products to the freezer shelves of our local stores.
If you can’t make it to the grocery store, make your own with this Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe or if you want something to go with the ice cream, make these Fresh Vegan Waffles with Maple Syrup.
