Ben and Jerry’s Non-Dairy Pints
When a close friend of mine went vegan a couple years ago, our frequent ice cream outings during the summer came to a sudden halt… until Ben and Jerry’s saved the day. With their classic flavors still up for grabs, the delicious creations use almond milk and sunflower butter instead of their usual dairy ingredients. Try their vegan Cherry Garcia, Peanut Butter Half Baked, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and more! Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is.

Oat Milk Chocolate Bars
Oat milk is one of my favorite milk alternatives. It’s creamy sweetness brings out the natural flavors of any treat, especially chocolate. That’s why these chocolate bars from Endangered Species Chocolate are definitely worth a try. With flavors like dark chocolate and sea salt with almonds, you’ll be sure to love this vegan delight.
