Good Karma Foods has created the Organic Rice Divine line of rice-based,
non-soy, organic, non-dairy pints in wonderfully sumptuous flavors: Banana
Fudge, Mint Chocolate Swirl, Mud Pie, Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge, Coconut
Mango, Very Vanilla and Carrot Cake. I liked them all, including the latter, even
tho I don’t actually like eating carrot cake! The Banana Fudge is very strong on
banana. What took the industry so long to come up with a yummy banana
flavor? Mudd Pie has a vanilla-mocha base, with pieces of almonds and
chocolate cookies, and a ripple of fudge running through it! They also make
little personal cups of vanilla ice cream with a swirl of either fudge or strawberry.
They round out the selection with Very Vanilla or Chocolate ice cream on a stick,
coated in chocolate. The most exciting part to me is that all of these products
are totally organic, not just the main ingredient.That really IS good karma!! http://www.goodkarmafoods.com/
Turtle Mountain has several lines of pints, bars, and ice cream sandwiches. For
a long time they have provided us with delicious flavors, especially in their Purely
Decadent line. My all-time favorite flavor is Turtle Trail - vanilla ice cream with
chocolate-covered pecans and trails of caramel running through it…yum! But
now they’ve outdone themselves with four exciting new flavors: Pomegranate
Chip, besides being wonderfully sweet, has huge chunks of rich, dark chocolate
throughout. I expected So Very Strawberry to be sorbet-like. It is definitely not.
It has a very creamy strawberry ice cream base with hearty chunks of strawberries
and a ribbon of strawberry sauce. Cookie Dough is packed with hunks of chocolate
chip cookie dough, and who wouldn’t like that? It’s even gluten-free! Coconut Craze will definitely please the exotic fruit palate, with its rich coconut ice cream and bits
of shredded coconut, roasted almonds and dark chocolate flakes. http://www.turtlemountain.com/products/purely_decadent.html
As a bonus, all of these frozen desserts are cholesterol-free and are far lower
in fat and calories than their dairy-based counterparts.They also consume less natural
resources to produce. So enjoy better health and a lighter carbon footprint, while
enjoying these incredibly delicious treats!!!
