Trader [Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-blueberry-chia-bowl) new [non-dairy frozen dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-dairy-free-decadence-series) is free from any kind of milk or cream, yet it is said to have a texture that's as creamy as ever thanks to the inclusion of oat milk. The Strawberry Oat Frozen Dessert boasts a base of crushed oats and water, which is enhanced with other simple ingredients like tapioca syrup, coconut oil and agave as a plant-based and natural sweetener.

To further enhance the creamy frozen treat, Trader Joe's included candied strawberry pieces and almond brittle for added taste and texture. Ingredient-conscious consumers will also appreciate that that pink tint of the frozen treat naturally comes from strawberries, beet juice and annatto.
