I SCREAM.
YOU SCREAM.
WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM ALTERNATIVES.
Well, we might not exactly be correct. But, for those with dairy/milk sensitivities or allergies are likely screaming for ice cream alternatives. Sometimes they’re referred to dairy-free alternatives or frozen treats. No matter what you call them, here’s a guide to ice cream alternatives that we like.
Note: All products are dairy-, gluten-, & soy-free.
[bctt tweet=”Scream for Ice Cream Alternatives” username=”gfspirit”]
Arctic Zero
Arctic Zero has a variety of dairy-free desserts.
Cake Batter– This fit frozen dessert is lactose-free and certified gluten-free. It has a “healthy” taste, but does taste like cake batter.
Cookie Shake- If you look at the picture, you may think this is like Cookies ‘N Cream. It is not. Nikki isn’t a big fan of chocolate and was initially disappointed by this flavor, but the more she ate it, the more she liked it.
Vanilla Maple- This flavor is low glycemic. Nikki was a fan of this unique flavor.
Steve’s Ice Cream
Steve’s Ice Cream is handcrafted ice cream made from organic coconut cream.
Blueberry Lemon Ice Box Cake- The name is a bit of a mouthful. This concoction has blueberries, lemon zest, and graham crackers. Yes, graham crackers. 10/10 would recommend.
SO Delicious
If you’ve been reading GFS for a while, you know that Nikki is a big fan of SO Delicious. They have yogurt alternatives, beverages, creamers, & shreds. You can find frozen desserts made with coconutmilk, oatmilk, soymilk, and almondmilk. They’re non GMO Project Verified and Certified Vegan.
Bananas Foster- This frozen dessert is made with cashewmilk. Nikki says this one is “REALLY good.”
Salted Caramel Cluster- This one is also cashewmilk. This is in Nikki’s Top 4 favorite ice cream alternatives.
Peanut Butter & Raspberry Oatmilk- Oatmilk is the trend right now. This one did not disappoint and is also one of Nikki’s favorites.
Daiya
This is another brand that Nikki is a big fan of. Daiya also offers a variety of products from cheese alternatives, dressings, cheezecakes, burritos, sauces, & pizzas. They are plant based.
Salted Caramel Swirl Non Dairy Frozen Dessert Bar- If you’re a fan of Dairy Queen’s Dilly Bars, this is a good alternative. As I previously mentioned, Nikki isn’t a big fan of chocolate. She really doesn’t like dark chocolate. However, she says that the dark chocolate isn’t very overwhelming. This is also in Nikki’s top favorite ice cream alternatives.

My husband is a huge fan of ice creams but is also very diet conscious. These ideas would surely be a treat for him!
I’m so glad to hear that, Lola! I hope he finds something he likes. 🙂
I’ve started my diet recently, and it’s really hard to say NO to Ice Cream. Thank you for your list of alternatives. I think I can make it through my diet now.
Ice cream is so hard to turn down, especially when it’s warmer weather. I’m glad you found this guide to be helpful! 🙂
Thanks for sharing these nice tips which will help those who are looking to enjoy the taste of ice cream but can’t due to health reasons as your choices certainly looks attractive.
Thanks, Kalyan!
These are awesome suggestions. Thanks a lot. I am very health conscious in general and especially when I travel, this is awesome.
I’m so glad you find this guide to be helpful! 🙂
I’m glad that there is such a range of products out there now for those who may not be able to have certain foods for certain reasons. These all look great.
There are so many new options coming out, which is a great problem to have. lol
awesome tips! I love ice cream, it is so much fun to eat for me. I would definitely enjoy it. it will help me to choose new stuff
I love ice cream too! 🙂 Glad to hear you find this helpful.
These are great healthy alternatives to ice creams! I looove ice creams yet would love to try these ? Great post!
Thank you! I tried some of them as well and I thought they were yummy too. 🙂
Wow! This ice cream lookss healthy-licous! Can’t wait to try this.
I’d love to know what you think if you try them!
I always go with halo top since it has low calories. But I think organic and dairy-free ice cream sounds perfect for me. Too much ice cream hurts my stomach.
I personally like Halo Top as well. They do have a few options that dairy-,gluten-, and soy-free. We tried the birthday cake flavor, but didn’t like it. My sister has been hesitant to try the other three flavors.
I’m not a huge ice cream fan, but I always keep a 1/2 gallon in hand for my family’s occasional sweet tooth. It’s nice to know there are low sugar alternatives!
That’s a good idea to have some on hand when the craving strikes!
I’m not gluten intolerant, but I’d love to try a few of these! Cashew milk is something I’ve never heard of before, so that would be the first I try. I also like the look of the cake batter; it sounds interesting!
My sister likes the cashew milk because it doesn’t give you a noticeable flavor, like almond milk can. It doesn’t alter the taste. I’d love to know what you think if you try them.
i’ve heard about this brand before. i hope i can get it here in san antonio!
I hope you can too, Jasmine!
These all look yummy! It’s very helpful that companies are making products for people with dietary restrictions. Definitely makes life easier!
It really does, Katie!
I haven’t had any of these, but I’m not a big fan of regular ice cream because it doesn’t always agree with me. It would be nice to try some of these.
That’s disappointing. Maybe these some of these would be better for your digestion.
Oh man, I would love to try ALL of these! (Except maybe the one that has a “healthy” taste…that made me LOL!) Thanks for the ice cream tips!
LOL that’s the best way to describe it. No problem!
Wow. These All look awesome.. .except banana. I’m not fan of banana anything. I live in a small town & these things are hard to find. But thanks for the heads up. I hope I find them!
I’m not a fan of banana myself, but my sister is. I hope that you’re able to find them as well!
