Perfect Summer Dessert With Alpro’s NEW Ice Cream!*

I love a dessert on a hot summers day, but I want something a bit more natural that still tastes amazing. When I heard about the new Alpro Ice Cream, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on them and I headed to my local supermarket to pick them up in every flavour. The new flavours include Hazelnut-Chocolate, Coconut and Vanilla and I can’t even tell you which one is my favourite as they are all absolutely delicious. Alpro’s plant based ice cream contains 30% less sugars that the market reference in ice cream. They are 100% plant based too and its great to know you can enjoy a delicious dessert without any of the guilt.


First I tried the soya based vanilla ice cream. This uses real vanilla and is very sweet and tastes very indulgent. It’s a fantastic alternative to dairy ice cream. It’s an off-white colour with little specks of vanilla running through it. the vanilla flavour is rich but not too sickly. I actually preferred this to my usual brand. I balanced the sweetness of the dish by adding some pistachios to the ice cream. So tasty!


Secondly is the Coconut ice cream. The texture was so creamy but not heavy. It was a real delight to eat! It tasted almost exotic in a way. I think if you served this to someone and didn’t tell them that it was dairy free, they really wouldn’t be able to tell! It tasted just as delicious as any other coconut flavoured ice cream product I have tried in the past.


Finally is the Hazelnut-Chocolate flavour. This ice cream blends flavours of intense chocolate with a very subtle hint of nuttiness due to the hazelnuts. The flavours are perfectly balanced for a delicious experience. I completely lost myself when eating this, I simply did not want my bowl to be emptied! What I love about it is that it isn’t icy or watery, it’s just the perfect consistency. Just to make the experience even more indulgent, I topped the ice cream with chocolate covered ginger and it was gorgeous!


Overall, I am really impressed with the new range of Alpro Ice Creams which retail at around £3.50, and definitely recommend that you try them out. Find Alpro’s new range of Ice Creams in your local supermarket. For more information, head over to their Website or Facebook. Will you be trying one of these flavours out?

The Perfect Winter Breakfast With Alpro's Oat Original*

I am a big lover of Alpro drinks especially the unsweetened almond milk which is delicious in my coffee. When I was offered the chance to try the Alpro Oat Original Drink I couldn’t wait to see what it was like.


Alpro Oat Original is high in fibre (The UK’s highest in fact!) and low in fat and great for a plant based diet. This delicious oaty drink is a great source of calcium, vitamins B2, B12 and D and contains no added sugar. The drink is easy to digest and contains only 44 calories per 100ml!


I received a beautiful Anthropologie porridge bowl to showcase my delicious porridge in. I cooked this on the hob on a medium heat until it was just how I liked it. I used ½ a cup of oats and 1 cup of the Alpro Oat Original Drink. I topped the porridge with some dried cranberries and it was absolutely delicious. The fact that the oats and the Alpro Oat Original are both high in protein meant that I was full right through until lunch time. The porridge was creamy and delicious and tasted completely natural.


This drink would also go really well in a smoothie. Will you be giving the Alpro Oat Original Drink a try?
