3 Proudly Pinoy Vegan Ice Cream Brands With Online Delivery
Wednesday, September 09, 2020
One
of the struggles of being lactose intolerant is you can’t eat ice cream without
suffering from stomach cramp and diarrhea. It’s all because the dairy (animal-derived
milk) in ice cream contains lactose
and people with lactose intolerance lack the enzyme lactase which makes them unable to digest lactose. However, lactose intolerance doesn’t mean you can’t eat
ice cream. In fact, non-dairy vegan ice cream is becoming increasingly popular
these days.
What
makes vegan ice cream different from dairy version? Basically, vegan ice cream
uses plant-based milk like coconut milk, soy milk, almond milk and many others.
Plant-based milk doesn’t contain lactose so it’s a perfect alternative to cow’s
milk for making ice cream. Also, most vegan ice cream brands use healthier
sugar alternatives like coconut sugar and stevia which have zero to lower
glycemic index. This means eating such ice cream won’t spike the blood glucose
so people with diabetes can enjoy their ice cream without worrying on their
blood sugar level.
In
the Philippines, there are already a couple of local brands that sell vegan,
dairy-free ice cream that will satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt. The
following proudly Pinoy vegan ice cream brands also have online delivery system
so you don’t need to go out of the house to get your daily serving of ice
cream.

If
you are a fan of the healthy salads and smoothies of Go! Salads,
then you will also love their all-vegan ice cream brand Ambassador’s Ice Cream. This ice cream shop (which was named after
the owner’s grandfather who was a retired ambassador) had its humble beginning
at the 3F of SM Megamall Fashion Hall. While most vegan ice cream only uses
coconut milk, Ambassador’s Ice Cream
also uses cashew milk, pili milk and rice milk to concoct unique ice cream
flavors. They also sweeten their ice cream with coconut sugar.
They
sell ice cream in cup, pint and gallon sizes depending on the flavor. They also
offer same day delivery if you call them at 09190676600 and have your payment
verified before 3PM.
