Big news for vegan ice cream lovers (or, let’s be real, all ice cream lovers… and avocado lovers): Avocado ice cream just dropped at Whole Foods.
If you’ve ever dipped your toe into the world of non-dairy frozen treats (with recipes like this delicious vegan pistachio-coconut ice cream, who wouldn’t want to?) you know vegan ice cream options are tasty but limited—especially if you have an allergy to nuts or soy. The need for vegan ice cream options that aren’t made with bananas is REAL. Hence, why we’re so pumped at the news that Cado, a packaged avocado ice cream, just hit the frozen section at Whole Foods, as first reported by Refinery29.
While spooning down a pint of avocado ice cream isn’t exactly healthy (we wish), Cado is a healthier alternative to other ice creams, which are higher in sugar and don’t have the good-for-you fat that we’ve come to worship avocados for. Plus, they’re safe for vegans, people who are lactose-intolerant, or who simply choose to go dairy-free. In case you need another cherry on top of your vegan avocado sundae, Cado is also totally organic and GMO-free, according to their website.
While no recipe will ever be quite as simple as running to your nearest Whole Foods and picking up a carton of ice cream (sometimes you gotta satisfy that craving, now), there are a ton of simple avocado ice cream recipes you can make yourself. Feeling inspired? Try this avocado-based coconut lime ice cream recipe.
