i mentioned here a bit ago that i’ve had to give up all that is dairy for sweet baby jude because it seemed to be bugging his stomach after i ate it. honestly, this has been harder than i thought it would be … especially certain nights when you turn on a movie and want to pair it with a tub of ice cream or those brownies your mother-in-law sends you home with which are staring you smack dab in the face. saturday, i finally made a trip down to whole foods to pick out a few dairy free, coconut and soy based ice creams to try out. i did some research and had a few people tell me that the brand so delicious was the way to go and compared closest to real ice cream in all factors; taste, appearance, and texture. i picked out four different flavors; cherry amaretto, vanilla, mocha almond fudge, and turtle trails. i was pleasantly surprised by all of them but definitely favored the turtle trails and surprisingly the vanilla because i felt it tasted similar to rice pudding. i’m alway looking for more dairy free options so if you have any favorites or tips send them my way!
