McDonald's UK Releasing Plant Based Ice Cream

[RAMROD 118,195]

 

McDonald's is going plant-based in the the sweetest way. Dairy-free customers will be happy to hear that McDonald's is currently testing two new vegan ice cream options: Choco Scoop and Strawberry Scoop.

But before you rush out to your local Mickey D's to try the frozen treat, there is a pretty big catch. As of now, the Choco Scoop and Strawberry Scoop are only available at select McDonald's locations in the U.K.

Fortunately, the new additions are already getting rave reviews from customers, so a test run in the U.S. could be a possibility in the future. Here's hoping!

Another person revealed that the vegan ice creams come in tubs and are not dispensed out of an ice cream machine. So, no need to stress about the looming worry of broken ice cream machines. We'll call that a win.

The test run for the Choco Scoop and Strawberry Scoop is expected to come to an end on September 3. Time will only tell if or when they'll come to the U.S.

One customer described the menu item as "a cross between soft serve and regular ice cream." They also added that they were really "impressed" by the chocolate flavor.

When I was in college, they offered almond milk based ice cream in the vegan cafeteria and it was sooooo good. I assume this is something like that?

I've never tried vegan alternatives to dairy products other than milk and seeing as I usually dislike the fakes, they never appealed. But when I tried their McPlant on a temporary vegetarian kick, I was impressed by how similar it was to real beef and the cheese too. Maybe vegan alternatives are more advanced now? I did try a mini vegan Magnum last week and I wouldn't have guessed the difference. At least this vegan ice cream is lower calories than a McFlurry - only 94 calories at most for the chocolate. Even if you're not vegan, it's a great low calorie treat if you don't want to overindulge. They've also got push pop style ice lollies in either mango or orange flavours in the UK right now too, although that's probably only a summer addition. I'm totally willing to try it out when I go there on Sunday, though I'll want to try the Skittles McFlurry first when it's only around for a short time!

I just wish they'd introduce more tasty low calorie options. Even the most benign things have unusually high calorie counts. The most basic burger - slim patty, ketchup, mustard, scattering of chopped onions and a flat bun is 241 calories. How?!

UK McDonalds really seems ahead of adding vegan options. Don’t they have potatoes patties or falafel, too?
