'So Good' soy ice cream cones

[synergy]

These are amazing!

They're soy ice cream cones like Cornettes or what have you. They are vegan and more delicious than anything I have ever encountered in the way of frozen non dairy-desserts.

Chocolate So Good icecream cones. :drool:

Sounds good! Another awesome product I will probably not be able to find!

[Libellula]

we don't have that brand here :( however, i love the tofutti fudgesicles :D

[epski]

Is anyone else annoyed that they dropped the "y" from "Soy" to make "So"?

I am. Anyway, they're getting harder to find at various stores near me in Hollywood for some reason.

And Double Rainbow's Soy Cream has disappeared altogether. I may have to go back to making dessert at home. That would be a desperate measure indeed.

They are awesome! A perfect treat for a hot summer day.

Field testing indicates that serving these will produce many exclamations that these are "sooo good!" followed by chocolate/sugar high induced giggling.

I think more research is needed to confirm the accuracy of the initial results.

I noticed that, too. Maybe they thought that "soy" in the title might scare off some people. If that means people will be more likely to try it, then I'm all for it!

Well, especially with all the articles out there trying to scare people off soy. I agree that too much soy -- and especially isolated soy -- is probably not a good thing, but most people are getting the message first that "soy is good," then, "soy is bad." We are such a binary species sometimes.

Certainly, there's nothing wrong with isolated soy protein. It's huge amounts of extracted soy isoflavones that have people scared due to possible hormonal issues.
But no vegan foods I know of have such levels of these isoflavones -- only some supplements. Furthermore, Soy/So Delicious is mostly water and sugar, with very little soy of any kind! Same is true of all other "soy-based" frozen desserts.

The process for isolating soy protein is one with which I'm entirely uncomfortable, what with all the chemicals involved. I lean toward a much more whole foods diet. I'd rather eat tempeh than tofu, I prefer tofu to TVP, and so on.

I do occasionally eat a textured soy product as a junk food thing, and will occasionally get a soy protein boost in my Jamba Juice when I'm having a low protein day otherwise, but again, I think it's important to limit heavily processed foods.

Yup, a whole food vegan diet is probably the healthiest approach, although "chemicals" are not all bad. After all, even whole foods have naturally occurring chemicals (and naturally occurring pesticides), and my vegan B12 supplement certainly is produced in the lab. That said, I too lean heavily toward a whole-food diet, with occasional junk food -- nobody's perfect! :-)

Yeah, just consider the chemicals involved. That's all.
