In fact, it<br \/>\nexceeded my expectation so yeah it was worth the $9 especially for<br \/>\nthose of us who can&#8217;t have regular ice cream due to a cow milk allergy<br \/>\nor intolerance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The nutritional perks compared to cow milk based gelato<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was surprised to see too that with this cashew nut milk gelato you get a nice break on the calories and fat. As a quick example for a 1\/2 cup serving, compared to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ciaobellagelato.com\/flavors\/flavors.php?id=274\">Ciao Bella Mint Chip Gelato<\/a> which has 230 caories, 22g of sugar and 13g of fat, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.organicnectars.com\/nutrition-facts.html\">Organic Nectars Mint Chip<\/a> has 160 calories, 14g of sugars and 9g of fat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trying not one but two flavors<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>In the picture above is the Mint Chip with some walnuts I threw in,<br \/>\nas I love nuts in ice cream. I also tried the Chocolate Hazelnut and<br \/>\nwow both flavors are fantastic. In fact, unless you&#8217;re an ice cream connoisseur, you might not even be able to tell the difference between<br \/>\nthis cashew nut milk based gelato from your typical cow milk based gelato.<\/p>\n<p>Having tried coconut, hemp, rice, and soy milk based ice creams, I have to say that I like the cashew nut milk the best mainly because of two things: texture and taste. The frozen cashew milk is heavy almost exactly like frozen cow milk, and the slight nutty taste blends in better with ice cream flavors as opposed to the other non-dairy milks where you can taste the coconut, the hemp, and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m definitely going to try the other Organic Nectars raw agave gelatos like Pistachio and Vanilla Fudge because I thought it was that good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/9KcwlnThSIPyEEA8JAE6QNZz1pE\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/9KcwlnThSIPyEEA8JAE6QNZz1pE\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/9KcwlnThSIPyEEA8JAE6QNZz1pE\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/9KcwlnThSIPyEEA8JAE6QNZz1pE\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Noshtopia?a=Lj6t8XCQ8dY:5CY15Lh0Gl0:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Noshtopia?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Noshtopia?a=Lj6t8XCQ8dY:5CY15Lh0Gl0:I9og5sOYxJI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Noshtopia?d=I9og5sOYxJI\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Noshtopia?a=Lj6t8XCQ8dY:5CY15Lh0Gl0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Noshtopia?i=Lj6t8XCQ8dY:5CY15Lh0Gl0:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/Noshtopia\/~4\/Lj6t8XCQ8dY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 The idea of paying $9 for a pint of gelato seems absolutely ridiculous to me, but I saw this Organics Nectars brand cashew nut milk raw agave gelato and bought one because I was dying of curiosity.
