We waited years for Breyers to release a plain old vanilla dairy-free frozen dessert, and it finally arrived last year. But rather than sticking with their popular almond milk base, they opted to use trendier oats. Breyers Non-Dairy Oat Milk Ice Cream was the first simple vanilla vegan ice cream to hit the mainstream in affordable, large, 1.5 quart tubs. That’s the equivalent of 3 pints! It was so successful, that Breyers has opted to transition their entire almond milk line over to an oat milk base. They are now up to three flavors: Vanilla, Mint Chocolate Chip, and the latest, Cookies & Creme.

Breyers Lactose Free Note (Important!)
I’ve fielded countless comments from confused consumers who thought Breyers Lactose-Free Vanilla Ice Cream and Breyers Lactose-Free Chocolate Ice Cream were dairy-free. They are not. They are full dairy ice creams that simply have the lactose (milk sugar) removed. Those are made specifically for people with lactose intolerance, but not for people who have other issues with milk. Please make sure you don’t confuse the Breyers Lactose-Free Ice Cream with their newer dairy-free versions of Breyers Non-Dairy Oat Milk Ice Cream. The latter do have green lids to help them stand out.

Not as good as the almond iteration.
IMO, the almond version tasted closer to ice cream than the oat. The oat tastes like every other vegan wanna be ice cream. I wrote Breyers when they changed it and they said the oat was more popular, how could it be It had just came out? I do realize that oats are cheaper than almonds and probably makes better business and arguably environmental sense. I do appreciate them offering a plant based product.
Oat ice cream that won't let you down
Very pleasantly surprised by their vanilla oat ice cream. It has zero cholesterol and no high fructose corn syrup. Oh and did I say it’s delicious too?
AbFab!
I tried a Breyer’s nondairy ice cream a few weeks ago. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either. I’ve also tried other name brand nondairy ice cream which I wouldn’t purchase again. Last week I was pleasantly surprised to find the non-dairy OAT MILK version in the Breyer’s lineup. Oh, my! I would’ve sworn I was eating “regular” ice cream! It was aesthetically pleasing, the texture just right, and hands down exceptional! FINALLY…grazie, Breyer’s…keep up the great work and offer more flavors with OAT MILK, please.
Best gluten Free Bryers Ice Cream
Love the Gluten Free, Dairy Free Ice cream. Chocolate Mint and Vanilla are the best.
Not just a wanna-be
We love it! How nice to buy a plant-based product that isn’t just a wanna-be. This is creamy, satisfying, so nice by itself, or with toppings, or with sauteed apples over the top….just about anything you would do with any vanilla ice cream. Other flavors would be nice, but since we use ice cream most often over fruit or pie or just about anything, vanilla is a great choice.
Very Good Vegan Ice Cream
I found this Breyer’s Vegan ice cream on vacation in Aruba. However, I come back home to NJ and it’s nowhere to be found. It’s really creamy and delicious! I JUST WANT IT AVAILABLE HERE!!!!! IS THIS POSSIBLE BREYERS???????

You can currently find it at the Albertsons family of stores – https://www.albertsonscompanies.com/about-aci/overview/default.aspx
Delicious dairy-free treat!
Absolutely delighted to have discovered Breyer’s delicious non-dairy oat milk alternative to “real” ice cream. It’s a yummy stand-alone dessert, but one that topping-lovers can have fun with, too. My favorite is adding a drizzle of salted caramel to compliment the natural vanilla flavor. Family members love it as the al la mode on homemade apple pie. I’m definitely keeping an eye out for some additional flavors!
Delicious oatmilk ice cream!
I can’t wait to tell my granddaughter about Breyers new ice cream because dairy ice cream makes her stomach hurt!
My favorite vegan vanilla ice cream
This is the best plain vanilla dairy free ice cream on the market. The neutral flavor of oats allows the vanilla to shine through. Wonderful light and creamy texture.
