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.
Frönen Dairy-Free Ice Cream Keeps it Simple with a Big Reformulation
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.

Strawberry
Little Strawberry flavor. Taste is predominately honey and coconut that tastes synthetic. This is the worst flavor experience I have had in a long time. I eat a low or no sugar diet. I couldn’t eat much of this, it was that bad. I have to wonder if the good reviews are staged. My boyfriend also tried it, and agreed, it was awful. Disappointed. There are better products then this one out there.
madagascar vanilla
why call it “madagascar” vanilla call it banana thats all i can taste. next time i want to taste banana ice cream ill just stick my head in a blender instead. creamy? NEVER HEARD OF IT
Awful
Worse tasting frozen dessert I have ever eaten (bought mint chip). Chocolate chips were hard and awful….each guest left them on their plates after seeing me do the same. Not worth the money which was very expensive for what it is.
So yummy.
I tried salted caramel and o.m.g. Best ice cream Ive ever had.
it tastes like frozen water
I open it after letting be not so solid…it tastes so bad. Plus I bought it in walmart and all smells like crap disinfectants. I tried t air out in the cold, wipe it out with vinegar. I wish I could return it. but too late. I will not buy it again. I was excited about only 6 ingredients, no crap, no sugar. Ingredients are not organic either besides the honey so not worth it. I tried the chocolate.
Delicious non dairy
The best non dairy ever. So clean and so tasty. I got it at my local Whole Foods in Chicago. The mint chip was very refreshing!
Gross.
Tried the Madagascar vanilla and it was the grossest ice cream I’ve ever tried. And I’ve tried a lot of not dairy ice cream at this point. Such a disappointment.
Pleasantly surprised
I just tried the salted caramel flavor, and it is amazing! It tastes like tiramisu and is the best ice cream I’ve had since going dairy and gluten free 9 years ago. I can’t believe it only has 4 ingredients. I tried the strawberry a few days ago, and at first it was very hard to get it out of carton. After letting the whole carton sit out for 15-20 minutes, it was much easier to scoop, and it tasted delicious as well.
Delicious
I purchased Fronen ice cream at Walmart and loved the caramel and chocolate flavors. I will be buying this for my family weekly!
Delicious
I stumbled upon this tonight while looking, hoping for a more natural ice cream amidst all the “junk”.
I chose the strawberry and was pleasantly surprised!
Thank you for making a treat with all natural ingredients = ]
