In honor of National Ice Cream month (July), let’s talk about Cashewtopia raw vegan ice cream made from cashew nuts!

I am absolutely in love with Organic Nectars Cashewtopia Gelato. Have you ever tried raw vegan ice cream?  Did you even know such a fabulous vegan treat existed? If the answer is no, you are in for a delightfully yummy surprise!  You easily could fool your omnivore friends. This product is Yummy Plants Approved!

I first tried Organic Nectars’ Cashewtopia raw vegan ice cream at the New York City Vegetarian Food Festival last year.  I was mystified by the rich, milky texture that is absolutely raw, vegan and 100% dairy and casein-free!  Cashewtopia is  a great “ice cream” option for people suffering from dairy or soy allergies.  It’s dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, trans-fat free, and free from all refined sugars.  (It’s sweetened with agave). Enjoy!
