Ben & Jerry's VS Nice Cream π«£
A couple weeks ago Fred Meyers had Ben & Jerry's dairy-free ice cream on sale for $2.99 a carton! It's normally $6.99 a carton. So of course I bought hubby and me several π€£π«£
After 3 days of enjoying them for dessert my tummy was not a happy camper! I flipped over and read the nutritional content and ABOUT DIED.
I'm trying not to be as rigid as I was in the beginning but damn, this stuff is horrible.
Because who eats β
of that small carton in one setting??? I surely don't π€ I told my hubby the B & J was allllllll his and went back to my nice cream. Three nights in a row for supper ( yes supper π) and I haven't looked back.
Ingredients:
3 bananas
3 medjool dates
4oz raspberries
4oz blueberries
β
cup the only bean crunchy roasted edamame made with avocado oil
β
cup shredded roasted coconut (one ingredient)
2 tbsp trader joes cacao powder
1 tsp orgfun vanilla bean powder
The results are astounding! And if I am being totally honest I enjoyed my nice cream over the B & J 100%. Like it wasn't even close. Not to mention this did not give me a tummy ache, gas, or the π©s.
My nice cream:

The Ben & Jerry's totals are in the photos below, along with a snapshot of the ingredients...I mean if you can even call them ingredients. This is part of the reason I believe the label "vegan" " non-dairy" or " plant-based" doesn't automatically mean healthy β especially for the folks living on ultra-processed versions of their favorite foods.
They draw you in. They get you addicted. End of story. π«Άπ»
