Vegan Food Products News
Happiness is Avocado
Fravocado is a premium vegan ice cream made from coconut milk and avocado. It is a healthier alternative to dairy ice cream and it has no gluten, dairy, soya or nuts. The ingredients were picked specifically for their nutritional benefits, they are all plant based with zero allergens.
Fravocado is made by Becky Osborne in South Devon. It was born after she cut back on dairy and struggled to find a replacement for ice cream which wasn’t full of sugar and additives. It was when avocado was added that she decided to try and market the product and Fravocado became a brand in 2016. The health benefits of avocado are huge so adding it to something that is supposed to be an unhealthy treat takes away the guilt of eating it, which is what Fravocado is all about. Fravocado was featured in the Guardians Food & Drink Guide for food trends of
2016. It was also nominated for VegFest’s most innovative vegan product of 2016. It has been estimated that 75% of the world’s population are actually Lactose intolerant, and over 50% of Brits are now buying free from. In March 2016 figures showed that sales of avocados reached a record of £128 million in 12 months, up 39% from the previous year. We think this trend is not one that is going to slow down anytime soon.
There has been significant change in peoples attitude toward vegetarian and vegan foods, and the market is growing at a rapid pace. There are many other ice cream alternatives available, but Fravocado is a vegan ice cream that rivals the same rich and creamy texture of dairy ice cream, thanks to the powerful and nutritious avocado.
Raspberry & Basil and Raw Cacao and in 3 sizes; 100ml & 500ml & 4 litre tubs. The retail pricing is in line with other free from and premium ice creams at £2.95 for 100ml & £6.95 for 500ml. Contact Twitter: @fravocado Facebook /fravocado info@fravocado.co.uk www.fravocado.co.uk
