As the brand notes, "Gone are the days when vegan implies a sacrifice." The plant-based ice cream menu includes vegan versions of Coconut Rice Pudding and Bourbon & Caramelized Honeycomb, plus new takes on classic flavors like Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies & Cream. While the Banana Avocado Sorbet stands out for its bright green color, the Peanut Butter Strawberry Crumble is sure to capture the hearts of [PB&J](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-pbjs) fans. The [vegan frozen dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnaholic-valentines-day-menu) menu can be found at all Salt & Straw scoop shops nationwide for a limited time, and fortunately for ice cream lovers, the pints are just as easy to order online thanks to nationwide shipping.
