The sugar free, dairy free and gluten free revolution continues, and with it are so many amazing healthy new food trucks, café’s, restaurant’s and wholesalers, making eating well a breeze. Not that long ago, finding an ice-cream without sugar and dairy in it was asking for the impossible, you simply had to go without — gone are the days where vegans and celiac’s have to be deprived of the simple joy of ice cream. Whether you’re vegan or just wanting to make healthier choices, we’ve put a little guide together of the best healthy ice cream going around; 

Coconutz

For a Sunday treat, head down to the Grower’s Green Markets in South Fremantle on a sunny day with a few eco bags to do the shopping with and a healthy appetite. With so many amazing fresh food stalls, you’ll want to save some room for Coconutz’ dairy free and gluten free ice cream. Not only is it free of all these nasty’s, it’s full of nutritional value too, as it’s makers have taken great care not to spoil the nutrients going into their ice creams. You’ll find all kinds of exotic flavours, from Honey Tumeric, Cinnamon and Orange and Green Tea and Mango & Lemon Myrtle.

La Paleta

These Mexican inspired ice treats are made of all natural and seasonal ingredients and they come in the most tempting flavours, from raspberry and peach, toasted coconut and jam doughnut with roasted peanut chocolate. The struggle to choose has now become even more challenging with the introduction of their new (slightly less healthy) ice cream sandwiches. They stock all over Perth, from Flipside Burger Bar, Toastface Grillah, The Old Bridge Cellar’s and Rooftop Movies — the La Paleta takeover is well and truly underway.

Cocowhip

Pure coconut water, whipped to ice-y perfection is now a common treat if you know where to find it. Stocking everywhere from The May St Larder, The Health Freak Café, Panache, Whipped Freo and a range of healthy food trucks including Cocolycious and (for those of you down south) Kona Joes Health Shack. Cocowhip is so prolific that you’ll never have to go without when you’re craving a cold treat this summer. From original coconut, African mango and turmeric, cacao bliss and minty match — these all natural, gluten, dairy and guilt free treats will keep you satisfied for years to come.

Raw Kitchen Ice Cream

Did you know that Freo’s favourite raw food joint also do ice cream? Well indeed they do and as with everything at The Raw Kitchen, it’s raw, nutritious and extremely delicious. Made with coconut meat, cashews and wholefood ingredients — they’ve got plenty of flavours to keep you cool this summer, from salted caramel, hazelnut, coconut and kaffir lime and orange and ginger sorbet, yum!

Over the Moo

Serving their delicious brand of dairy free coconut milk ice cream in take home tubs, Over the Moo believes that being dairy intolerant shouldn’t mean grey tasting desserts. You’ll find them conveniently stocked all over Perth in exotic and colour coordinated flavours like Pandan and Pecan, Black Sesame, Matcha and Mango — yum.
