Arctic Zero Launches Fava Bean-Based Vegan Ice Cream Line

Low-calorie ice cream brand Arctic Zero will launch its new vegan ice cream line at Florida locations of supermarket Publix this month before expanding the nine-flavor line nationwide. The new Arctic Zero Non-Dairy line—which features pints and bars in flavors Chocolate Peanut Butter, Salted Caramel, Cookie Shake, Purely Chocolate, Cake Batter, Brownie Blast, Cookie Dough Chunk, Hint of Mint, and Cherry Chocolate Chunk—is made with fava bean protein, an ingredient the company landed on after experimenting with other plant-based ingredients. “True to our founding promise, our new plant-based Arctic Zero non-dairy [ice cream] contains the cleanest, premium ingredients we could source including fava bean protein,” Arctic Zero CEO Amit Pandhi said. “We’re confident our long-time fans also are going to love the change. Arctic Zero non-dairy pints have a much stronger, richer flavor that really wows, and a creamier texture than ever.” Arctic Zero joins a growing number of non-vegan ice cream brands—including Ben & Jerry’s, Halo Top, Häagen-Dazs, and Breyers—to launch vegan lines in recent years.
