Ben & Jerry's Goes Oat-Based for All Vegan Ice Cream Flavors

Ben & Jerry's is making a major change to its nearly 20 vegan ice cream flavors by switching to an oat-based formula. The company has been experimenting with different base ingredients since launching its non-dairy line in 2016, starting with almond milk and later introducing a sunflower butter base. The transition to oat milk aligns with increasing consumer demand for oat-based options and helps make the non-dairy line more accessible to those with lactose intolerance or nut allergies. Ben & Jerry's aims to maintain its indulgent eating experience while meeting sustainability goals and offering a creamy texture and rich flavors in its vegan ice creams.

Algae-Based Ice Cream: A Nutrient-Rich Alternative to Dairy

Food technology company Sophie's BioNutrients has developed a vegan ice cream made from chlorella protein, a type of algae, that offers more vitamin B12 and iron than dairy milk. The ice cream replicates the texture and flavors of traditional ice cream while providing unique health benefits such as boosting antibodies and promoting weight loss. The chlorella used is sustainably harvested and has a lower carbon footprint compared to animal agriculture. This innovation aligns with the rising demand for healthy, sustainable, and cruelty-free food sources, and the global vegan ice cream market is projected to reach over $800 million by 2027.
