Skoop by [Nekter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nekter-freshers) is described as "a handcrafted frozen treat, made fresh in small batches using creamy cashew milk and clean, plant-based ingredients." Unlike ice cream, the frozen dessert is dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free, making it appropriate for customers following a wide range of diets. Now Nékter is offering four new 'Summer of Skoop' flavors. There's the [Monster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-energy-and-morgan-wallen) [Cookie Dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitkat-cookie-dough) made with blue Spirulina, Peanut Butter Swirl blended with layers of vegan chocolate, Orange Twist sweetened with agave nectar, and Chocolate Haze infused with creamy hazelnut butter.
