Rave Review?

I'm not going to lie, I had my fears when initiating my vegan diet. "Never again eat whipped cream smothered strawberries? No more cheese and crackers?! Frozen yogurt's out too?? Oh snap." Here's the thing. 1) Becoming a vegan opens SO many taste pallet doors. It can transform a picky or unhealthy eater, into a muncher of abundance. 2) There are actually a great deal of vegan alternatives to your favorite treats!

Here's one of them:

Tofutti Vanilla Cuties. Flashback to the ice cream truck that drove tortuously slow down my street, music blaring. Once or twice a summer, mother darling would throw a dollar at us and say "Fine! Get an ice cream." My sister would get the Firecracker thing that turned your tongue rainbow and was grainy with sugar, but I'd get an Ice Cream Sandwich. Every time. (All five times, basically..) They were messy and melty, but so incredibly delicious.
Now here you have a vegan version of that treat! All 130calories of this (super) tiny sandwich are worth it. With 2grams of protein and 9grams of sugar, it's not exactly the healthiest of snacks, but it'll keep you sane. The portion, albeit tiny, is actually perfect. You get to savor a few bites and your sweet tooth is satisfied. Maybe, just maybe, the company can work to reduce the calories, but otherwise, the snack is authentic in all ways.
