A focus on better-for-you formulations in recent years has upended the ice cream category, with brands like Foods Free From offering inventive dairy-free, no-sugar ice cream creations that are decadent despite the exclusion of common base ingredients.
The free-from ice cream products can now be found at a major supermarket in Kenya, treating consumers to classic flavors like Strawberry and Double Chocolate, as well as inventive varieties such as Avocado, Mint & Brownie and Tamarillo—a tart green fruit that is often confused with a small tomato. Each innovatively flavored vegan-friendly ice cream boasts a base of soy.
Foods Free From offers a range of goods—including cakes, brownies and sweetbreads—all of which are made without eggs, dairy, gluten and refined sugar.
