Why trust us?

A chocolate sweet potato ice cream sundae is the perfect dessert for a hot day! The ice cream is made from frozen, blended sweet potatoes which gives the base its sweet, creamy texture. We add cocoa powder for flavour, dates for sweetness and milk to help it blend to a soft-serve consistency. Top it all off with fruit, yogurt, nuts and our chopped protein bars.
