    Frönen Dairy-Free Ice Cream Ditches Bananas for Creamy New Base

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on August 12, 2022 Dairy-Free Ice Cream Reviews, Product Reviews

    It’s been a few years in discussions, but the founders of Fronen finally decided to shift from a banana-based nice cream to a rich and pure coconut cream base. Their goal has always been to create a dairy-free ice cream line that’s easy on the stomach and made with pure natural ingredients. The reformulation stays true to this mission, but brings more attention to the flavors and consistency.

    Every flavor of Frönen still features 7 ingredients or less, with no additives, sugar alcohols, or other funny business. It boasts a homemade vibe, with natural sweetness from honey or coconut sugar. And it’s sold in five classic, top-selling flavors.

    2022 Fronen Product & Formula Changes

    Fronen ditched the banana, letting coconut cream take center stage as their ice cream base. This did increase the calories, fat, and saturated fat in each serving. But, it helps to create a creamier, less fruity product, closer to traditional ice cream. They also discontinued their Banana Coconut, Cinnamon, and Peanut Butter Fudge flavors. All of the information above has been updated for the new formula.

    Additional Allergen Notes*

    According to the company, all of their products are manufactured on lines that process dairy and other tree nuts (besides coconut). Before and after each production run, the machinery is cleaned and then tested to ensure there is no allergen residue on it. After their ice cream is manufactured, it is also tested for allergens to ensure there is no cross contamination. That being said, they cannot guarantee there are no allergen particles in the air in the facility. If you are severely allergic, they recommend not eating their ice cream to be safe.

    These ingredients are the best I’ve seen. Absolutely delicious. I personally loved the chocolate.

    Great honey-based flavor; but rock-hard block of ice is not worth it.

    The honey-based flavor of Fronen’s Madagascar Vanilla stands out among the many brands of dairy-free ice cream I have tried; but the rock hard consistency ruins the experience. Fronen goes from ice to water with nothing in-between. It is not a successful product despite the great taste.

    Always on the search for ‘heathy’ ice cream alternatives…Have bought Fronen before (a couple flavors vanilla, strawberry, peanut butter)-were absolutely terrible! Those stayed in my freezer basically full for months until finally tossed them (huge waste of money). Said I wouldn’t ever buy this brand again…the other day came across it again-saw mint chip. Bought it, and it’s actually pretty decent for what it is. If based on the flavors I ate before zero stars-because of the mint chip three stars total. Thank god for the mint-the chocolate chips save it in my opinion! Side note-beware I do think there may be a laxative type effect with these…eating a larger quantity seems to make the tummy a bit ‘gassy’.

    I purchased a pint at Wegmans recently and I absolutely adore this ice cream. It’s clean and doesn’t have a strange after taste. I avoid gums due to my IBS and this treat is my favorite!!

    I used to LOVE and ENJOY Fronen Ice cream when it was made with 5 ingredients: BANANA, WATER, COCONUT CREAM, HONEY AND COCOA POWDER!!! and it had only 90 calories and 6g of fat!!! My favorite has always been Chocolate and it was delicious!! it was my favorite treat and now the bananas have been replaced with Coconut cream!!! now it tastes completely different!!! and it has 16g of FAT and 210 calories and way too much Coconut!! I am very dissapointed.. now you are like any other lactose free ice cream.. NOTHING different… You should have never change what made you who you are today. Big mistake!!
