August is stepping in tentatively in our calendars, bringing slightly cooler temperatures after the blistering heat of July.
Last month was a very special occasion – National Ice Cream Month – and though we never need a reason to enjoy a scoop or five, here are our best picks for the month!
So go on, and treat yourself!
Vanilla
The classic, and most boring one of them all, but sometimes nothing beats the bare basics! Pair with fresh fruit or syrup, or just have it straight off the tub right in front of Netflix for the perfect night in.
Coffee
While it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, the coffee flavoured one deserves mentioning, as for those who do like it, it’s a unique, just-bitter-enough treat.
Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Butter & Cookies
Ben & Jerry’s are a staple of many a movie nights in, and many of their flavours sound too good to be true, yet here we are, blessed with combinations like cookie dough and ice-cream! Why not try the Peanut Butter & Cookies flavour though, which also happens to be dairy-free? All of the flavour, none of the guilt!
Cookie dough
What’s better than the gooey chocolate chip cookie dough everyone’s got in trouble for eating? Add ice-cream, of course! The dough comes in frozen, offering chunky treats in the middle of sweet, cool treats.
Neapolitan
A classic, and well deservedly so. The simple, but effective combination of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry is well known and presents an easy choice, for when you are stuck wondering which one to pick. Why not three in one?
Mint and chocolate
A flavour you wouldn’t generally expect to work, mint and chocolate balance each other perfectly to deliver the ultimate taste experience! The chocolate chips are just sweet enough to tickle your sweet tooth, while the mint base provides cool refreshment to combat the most dangerous of heatwaves!
Anything from Alpro’s ice-cream range
Alpro already get the kudos for creating a versatile range of non-dairy yogurts and desserts, to be enjoyed by anyone, but their ice-cream takes the cake. Enjoy simple flavours like vanilla or coconut, or go a bit crazy with hazelnut or almond salted caramel!
Light and fluffy, Alpro’s ice-creams use soya as a dairy substitute for an ethical and guilt-free snack!
Whichever one of these flavours is your vice, it doesn’t matter: treat yourself to an ice-cream cone today!
