Vice Cream: A new ice cream that is decadent, delicious and worth it. Live life, dig in!


I'm SUPER excited to tell you about Vice Cream, a new ice cream that is decadent and delicious. Recently, I joined the inaugural Creamy Crew for Vice Cream, where I get to try all of their flavors and help spread the word.

Vice Cream is locally headquartered in downtown Boston and was started a year ago by Dan Schorr. Dan has run marathons, half-marathons, created energy drinks, and didn't always follow the indulgent  track of things. In 2014, he was diagnosed with cancer, despite being the healthiest guy his doctor knew, and decided to do what it took and as of August 2016 is cancer free.

Vice Cream has really indulgent and rich flavors. So far we've tried Minted, Afternoon Delight, Bourbon Mash and Higher Grounds. My favorite is Higher Grounds, which has dark roast coffee ice cream interlaced with swirls of mocha fudge, crunchy chocolate cookie crumbles and pillows of sweet espresso.

As they say on their website: "At Vice Cream, we take our business and our ice cream very seriously. But never ourselves. Because life is funny. Maybe not always ha-ha funny, but still funny. The important thing is to indulge in it while you can."

I agree.

NOTE: I was provided with some pints of Vice Cream in exchange for this post. No other compensation was provided.

Yasso: A great new frozen (greek) yogurt treat!

We had the great chance to have Yasso at our summer family gathering this year. In our extended family, we have many people with different dietary needs and some picky eaters, but we all have one thing in common and that's enjoying a good frozen dessert. After our meal, we told everyone that we had a surprise for dessert and started handing out Yasso bars for everyone to try - strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, vanilla and coconut. As it turns out coconut is my favorite type of ice cream so I was really excited when I learned they had it as a flavor. There's also a mango flavor if you happen to like that as well.  The Yasso bars were a big hit at the party. We even had a few people ask for seconds!  My wife loved the blueberry. It was hard to figure out the "best" flavor.  Everyone seemed to like them all!  People really loved that they didn't have to feel guilty having a frozen treat.

As our luck would have it, the nice folks at Yasso gave us some coupons to send to a lucky reader so we're going to host a giveaway until next Thursday 10/17. Be sure to tell your friends!

Good luck!
