This summer, I have been living with a vegan that has made cooking a real challenge! However, I've been rising to the occasion with fake meat recipes, fake egg recipes, and plenty of other fairly tasty inventions. However, when I come across something that I don't have to pull together to enjoy, it makes me that much happier.
Enter "So Delicious" products... There's a vast array of ice creams, yogurts, and milks that would make your head spin! I have tried their coconut milk-type-product and it was just okay, though a swig here and there isn't the same as *using* it somewhere. But the ice cream has been a wonderful experience! Lower in carbs and fat than traditional ice cream, it's a health-conscious dessert-o-phile's dream come true. Only 150 cals for a 1/2 cup serving, and a scant 20 carbs (with just 12 from sugars)! The consistency is very ice-cream-like, and the deep chocolate flavor is incredibly satisfying. One drawback is that it doesn't scoop as smoothly as regular ice cream; but that's ok. Just let it melt for a few seconds.
I love this stuff. The one drawback is the price, at about $4 a pint! However, since we are eating far leas takeout and processed foods these days, the cost difference isn't so bad. As my vegan says of a product that he enjoys, "It's humanizing." When we can find things that make our lives easier & more normal, why not go for it every now and again?
