Smitten Ice Cream collaborated with Perfect Day on a line of N'Ice Cream treats that are vegan and lactose-free that matches the quality, taste and texture of its grass-fed dairy flavors. The clean-label, hormone-free Smitten N’Ice Cream products are made with Perfect Day's flora-made protein, plus other plant-powered and animal-free ingredients like coconut oil, sunflower oil, pectin. Notably, Perfect Day's animal-free dairy protein is the same nutritious protein found in cow's milk (casein and whey) but it is prepared without involving any animals in the process.
The N'Ice Cream line includes flavors like Fresh Strawberry and Brown Sugar Chocolate that reinvent classics, plus others like Coconut Pecan and Root Beer Float that are just as decadent and packed with animal-free dairy protein.
