Received an offer from Social Nature to try some Dairy-Free
Ice Cream. It was good! I have previously tried “Happy Water” through them (you
can see my review in a previous blog post) and now I got the opportunity to try
ice cream!
A recap of Social Nature is it’s a site that encourages people to flag items they would like to try that are new, healthy, Made in Canada/USA and all the good things.
You go through a list of available offers and flag items as
“Want It”, then answer a few questions relating to what else like it you have
tried or regularly buy. Then they will choose a pool of people to accept and
send free product coupons to take to a store to purchase. You need to do a
review of the product after to increase your chances of getting more “want it”
items, plus the more people you have on your lists the better an influencer you
are and again the better chances you have at being selected.
Only downside is occasionally where the products are sold..
Happy Water was a tough one for me to find as only certain stores carried
certain versions. Luckily, this ice cream was at the grocery store we normally
shop at.
So we were looking for this ice cream and found a big cooler
of it near all the organic foods. All of the bigger tubs were on clearance,
which still made them within the coupon max price limit, so we opted to go big
or go home! Lots of flavours to choose from, but I had to go with the all
chocolate Soy version!
The other night, I was craving ice cream and so I pulled
this out for a few spoonfuls. It tastes like ice cream, all good, did the
trick. While I am not lactose-intolerant, it was great to try this
and see that healthier foods can actually taste good. I recommend it to anyone
needing the dairy-free route.
As I’ve said in my review, the only thing that would make me
hesitate from buying it in the future was the price. The size of a “normal” ice
cream tub was normally $7, but was on clearance for $5.99. The smaller tubs,
similar to a Ben&Jerry’s small size, was around $5. When you can watch for
the Chapman’s ice cream sales, you can get the big box for $2 (or free if you
request your yearly free product coupon).
