Also, while styling and shooting these photos, I learned that my ice cream scooping skills are not on par with how they do it at the shop. I’m no stranger to making vegan ice cream, but dang, mine never turn out as creamy as Salt & Straw’s. This year, I was lucky enough to receive a special delivery of the Salt & Straw vegan ice cream flavors. The tasting flight of four flavors is $9, but you can do like I did last year and get a scoop of the fifth on side. Let’s get down to the yummy part, shall we? There are five flavors in the January 2019 vegan series, and they are available by the scoop, pint, or flight at all Salt & Straw locations. That is progress, and if there’s a demand for more vegan flavors, they will shift even further in that direction. It’s only 20% vegan (for now), but that is 20% less dairy on the menu. People wait in long lines for a scoop of Salt & Straw ice cream, and the Salt & Straw name is recognized by foodies all over the country. However, keep in mind that Salt & Straw is a local, artisanal shop with a lot of influence and a major cult following. Yes, 20% vegan is still small compared to the 80% that will still be made of dairy. On social media, I’ve seen some vegans dismiss this news because it’s only 20%. Okay, fellow vegans, we need to have a little talk. Anyone else ready to do a little happy dance with me? That means one in every five Salt & Straw flavors will be vegan. Salt & Straw’s new year’s resolution is to commit to having a 20% plant-based menu throughout the year. Known for their small batch, hand made ice cream, Salt & Straw has always offered vegan flavors, but this January’s vegan ice cream series marks the beginning of something extra special. The menu rotates every four weeks so every visit to the ice cream shop can be a unique experience. If you haven’t tried Salt & Straw’s vegan ice cream flavors yet, get yourself to a Salt & Straw shop ASAP because they are seriously delicious.įounded in 2011 by cousins Kim Malek and Tyler Malek, Salt & Straw is a Portland-based and family-run ice cream company with three scoop shops here in Portland and many more in Seattle and throughout California. To kick off 2019, Salt & Straw launched their Vegandulgence Series: a collection of five vegan ice cream flavors that are so rich, creamy, and indulgent that most omnivores can’t tell the difference from the dairy-based ice cream. Others start the new year right with ice cream. Some people start the new year with juice cleanses. Many thanks to Salt & Straw for this special delivery of ice cream.
