Arctic Zero Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Now in 11 Plant-Based Flavors

For years I was frustrated by Arctic Zero. Their core line was lactose-free, but not dairy-free. Yet it always sat right in the middle of the dairy-free ice cream section in stores. And several “journalist” websites incorrectly included it in their dairy-free round-ups. But they’ve finally earned the right to grace those non-dairy collections. Arctic Zero Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert is a full line of plant-based, dairy-free ice cream that stays true to their low-sugar, low calorie promise. And it’s actually available to order on Amazon!

Arctic Zero Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Now in 11 Plant-Based Flavors

June 2020 Update – Arctic Zero has added two new pint flavors to their low calorie line: Classic Vanilla and Pistachio. The Vanilla is boasted as simple, smooth, and rich, while the Pistachio is a blend of pixtachio and amaretto flavor. The company’s CEO Jason Paine says the brand has its eyes focused on getting back to its roots.

There has been a lot of disruption in the better-for-you category leaving consumers overwhelmed. The launch of these two new flavors show our fans that we are listening and will continue to focus on being the lowest calorie, plant based frozen dessert available.

Arctic Zero is Still Low Calorie and Pint-Worthy, But Now Non-Dairy

The ice creams in the Arctic Zero Non-Dairy range are made with a base of faba bean protein instead of milk and cream. And I was told that these are actually replacing their lactose free line!

… our lactose-free product line will be transitioning to our non-dairy product line, and we will no longer be producing lactose-free pints or bars. Grocery stores that currently carry our lactose-free product line will be transitioning to our non-dairy product line when the lactose free pints are out of stock, so keep an eye out for them! Eventually you will no longer see our old packaging at stores.

Arctic Zero Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Flavors

The non-dairy flavors are sweetened with organic cane sugar and monk fruit, and contain no sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners. If you decide to down the whole pint, it will only knock you back somewhere between 160 to 320 calories. A single serving contains just 70 to 90 calories and 1.5 grams of fat or less. And you can now choose between eleven flavors. Be sure to leave your rating and review below if you try any of them!

Filling my freezer with a selection of Arctic Zero for my daughter’s visit next weekend. Both of us are lactose intolerant, she more than I. I love the chocolate peanut butter and also the salted caramel. She has never had but I think she will be another convert.

Artificial tasting with a weird aftertaste. I probably will not try other flavors, as they too will likely taste artificial.

Very tasty product-actually prefer over ice cream!

I am addicted to this product. I buy the 160 calorie and love the taste! In my opinion the sugars seem high at 4-5gm per serving. Also their product is only in a few locations. I have to drive 1 1/2 hrs. It’s worth it to me but not easy.

It’s just gross. There is no flavor except a gross after taste. I would rather just not have dessert

Love the Purely Chocolate flavor. It gives the rich, silky taste of a frozen dairy dessert.

(Not as creamy as coconut-based vegan ice creams), but also doesn’t have all the saturated fats that those desserts pack inside every serving. My only complaint is I wish more stores sold it.

This non dairy ice cream is fantastic. A great choice if looking for a vanilla option that is dairy free, low sugar and low calorie! The bonus and another selling feature is the sugar is natural not refined,as well 😊

I really wanted to like it, but the cherry chocolate chunk flavour is a no no for me. Probably won’t want to try the other either.
