Sisters Make Vegan Ice Cream

Ohio sisters Ellen, 18, and Meg Swallow, 22, have started a vegan ice cream company—Phro*ZEN. The idea was born when Ellen went vegan and made the goal to create vegan options for everyday food. The sisters have since spent the summer creating a wide range of original flavors, including jasmine agave, coconut chai, and s’mores, along with a few ice cream classics such as mint chocolate chip. The Swallows named Phro*ZEN after an appreciation for Buddhism, and the company’s tagline is “A taste of Nirvana.” Phro*ZEN is being stocked at eco-conscious general store Park + Vine, in Cincinnati, Ohio.
