Looking for a delicious, cruelty-free non-dairy frozen dessert alternative? Then you have to check out Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy Ice Cream!
In this article we’ll share Ben & Jerry’s delicious non-dairy flavors and give you some of our favorites. There are so many different flavors to choose from that vegan ice cream fans will love!
What makes Ben & Jerry’s so special when it comes to vegan ice cream?
Founded in 1978, Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream was founded by childhood friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. They’ve been perfecting grace for decades, but not just any flavor. One of the things that strikes me about Ben & Jerry’s is their knack for taking classic flavors (like chocolate ice cream) and putting their own unique twist on them to create some wild creations (like Boom Chocolatta!).
Ben & Jerry’s released its first non-dairy flavor in 2016. They partnered with Vegan Action to certify their non-dairy flavors. Now, the dessert brand offers nearly 20 dairy-free vegan ice cream flavors with more to come! Their pints are 100% vegan certified, meaning they contain no animal products.
Their first non-dairy ice cream flavors were:
- PB and cookies
- Coffee Caramel Fudge
- howler monkey
- Chocolate fudge brownies
Since then, they’ve developed a lineup of non-dairy versions of their classic ice cream flavors. They have also produced some exciting non-dairy exclusives.
Their non-dairy pints continue to be made with almond milk, but they also use sunflower butter for some flavor. They are also GMO-free.
Ben & Jerry’s activism
Another thing we love about Ben & Jerry’s is that they are very vocal with their activism and the causes they support.
Looking at their “Values” page, they clearly outline their promise:
- Human rights and dignity
- Social and economic justice
- Environmental protection, restoration and regeneration
They use their position to influence change in terms of:
- suffrage
- LGBTQ+ rights
- Climate justice
- Campaign finance reform
- Racial justice
Ben & Jerry’s is also Fair Trade Certified. The sugar cocoa, vanilla, coffee and bananas they use are all fair trade.
So let’s talk about their non-dairy ice cream pints!
