SweetPea makes plant-based ice cream with a twist, as the key ingredient in its formulas are chickpeas. The product, which took years to perfect, is available in classic varieties like That's A Mean Vanilla Bean, 3 Parts Chocolate, One 'N Only Cookies 'N Cream, and more, they boast half the calories and half the fat of traditional ice cream.
These frozen desserts highlight the humble chickpea as a nutritional powerhouse that's rich in dietary fiber and a great source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Years ago, there only used to be a handful of soy-based ice cream products in terms of plant-based frozen desserts. Now, consumers are spoiled for choice thanks to creamy milk alternatives made from avocados, blended nuts, coconut, fruit and more.
