See this:


I don't normally go for fake dairy products -- like soy cheese and the like -- but this shit is the business! The best non-dairy ice cream treat I've ever had. What ice cream alternatives do you guys like? (And I know me and Clair are going to be the only ones posting in this, but I'm making it anyway.)

I refuse do eat anything soy because it raises your, ( I forgot what it is called. It is the opposite of testosterone.) girl hormones or whatever its called. The last thing I want are a pair of boobies.

I had a rice ice cream sandwich one time. It wasnt bad...it had a stingy taste which I liked. But for me ice cream is only good when it is made by a cow.

i wanna try this. i like coconut milk so it sounds like a winner to me.

I had those before, they were really gross.

Try Tofutti's products.

you already got moobs

Haha, I saw a poster in England and it was just a fat guys chest and it said moobs. I have no clue what it was advertising!

Consuming soy does not raise your estrogen levels.

I've never had anything but ice cream and frozen yogurt, so I can't contribute anything to this topic. Wait, no, I like red bean and green bean ice cream bars, but they're kind of an Asian thing.

lol if soy products raised estrogen shouldn't asian chicks have bigger breasts







oops

lol @ Juna

lawljuna

Estogen. And what Cristy said.

And I think the other word you're looking for is "tangy" not "stingy."


I've had Tofutti stuff (Tofutti cuties in particular), and they're really good, but the things I had today were A-MAZING. Or at least I thought so. But I've been in a real big coconut kick lately, so that's that.

You're the same one who said if you eat before bed it turns to fat. And it'd be cool if cows made ice-cream, but they don't. It'd also be cool if when a cow has brown milk it's chocolate.


I haven't tried products that use a dairy alternative, simply because of the price. If they would ever give out free samples where I shop, I'd try it.

I don't know, Carrie. I'm all over soy products, even though I'm a full on diary and meat eater. I use soy milk in just about everything, and soy creamer for my coffee.

Trader Joe's has some type of soy chocolate ice cream that I really like. I don't remember the name though.

Also, I'm wondering if you could make your own non-diary ice cream. I'm sure there's recipes out there for it and ice cream machines are fairly inexpensive these days.

I've been wanting to make my own ice cream, and we actually have an ice cream maker, but I've been too lazy to dig it out.

Then half the battle's done, girl. Ours broke years ago. I prefer the homemade variety because that way, you know exactly what's in the mix.

Are you guys sure that soy doesnt raise estrogen levels?

chicken and papaya does. but come on, unless you're drinking 5 gallons of soy milk everyday, you have nothing to worry about.

o noez! chicken? but i love chicken!!! i dont really care if eating it doesnt effect me much but i want to lower my etrogen levels! i thought eating meat would make you more of a man!

yeah, estrogen is injected into chickens so they can grow larger breasts and thighs and arms. seeing that that's where people eat most, its quite useful to do so. so yeah, chicken has high level of estrogen.

Yeaaaaa... uh.. I'll stick to my dairy products.


Though I do love coconut milk especially when mixed into boiling water for seafood pasta.

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

yeah, it will give you nice big pecs. That's manly, right?

My only question is why are your estrogen levels high to begin with?

Does pinkberry count? I wonder if they have frozen yogurt at bj's

Pinkberry is frozen yogurt, so while an ice cream alternative, it isn't non-dairy. But OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Why is there no Pinkberry in DC? D=

Dippin' Dots.

Dippin Dots is not a non-dairy ice cream alternative. Dippin' Dots is ice cream, period. It's dairy ice cream frozen into lil' balls.

Taiwanese shaved/shredded ice! I had it for the first time in at least half a year today. Mmm.


Haha, and those are the exact same toppings my cousin and I put on ours, minus the red beans.





I want more. :(

Oh man, that looks crazy! What does it taste like?

is that lychee gel???

looks kinda gross.

so many things do. i'd have to smell it first.

looks like that just...took random foods and froze them?

lol. i'd try the last one. can't touch that first one with the red beans.

yeah that last one does look kind of...intriging?
would that be the right word?

ahha we got ish like this in Philippines too, halo halo

tbh not my favorite stuff but IT TASTE AUTHENTIC

like what?

i think there's a u in there somewhere.

It tastes like the toppings that are put on it? I dunno. Red bean, green bean, tapioca pearls (the kind in bubble tea), and Jello.


A lot of Asian foods that look gross taste good. Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Taiwanese shredded ice

Klondike Bar

That still contains ice cream....

lol american being ignorant.

its good. but i wont eat shave ice at any random place. i mean, how do you know the water to make the ice was clean?

i really like coconut milk based desserts.
like thai coconut pudding




lol @ tiny little ones on the side

^ that first one looks SOOOOOOOOOOO good.

Does it taste like coconut? Where do you get these?

whoops. i guess that was my cue to come in.
those 'ice cream' bars are the best!

my top pick:
soy delicious purely decadent in rocky road flavour.

i don't consume processed sugar, so everything i get is organic making it hard to find some things... when i can get it, i do love organic lemon gelato. there's a company that makes it the way my old nonnie tonie made it. mmm :)

any place with asian dessert, thai dessert, usually

This is Bob. Bob had bitch tits.

oooo, u finish rit dinner, u rant desert? we have sticky coconut rice very gud

There was this mexican place I went to one time and the dessert was just nachos covered in condensed milk with cinamon and rasins. It was sweet. Pun intended.

That's so funny. I smell EVERYTHING before I eat it! hehe

Carrie, I can't remember if it's been mentioned, but have you tried any Rice Dream products?
