5 Reasons to Love Breyers Ice Cream and a Stars and Stripes Sundae Too!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Breyers for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

With the last heat of summer upon us, there is still time to enjoy some great ice cream snacks. My kids’ school doesn’t have air conditioning so nothing is better than ice cream when they come home. Also, our 25 year old air conditioning unit hasn’t held up all that well this summer, so my house is hot. With the temperatures here in Chicago having been holding in the 90s, ice cream is again a great snack to cool down with!

Here are a few reasons why we choose Breyers Ice Cream as our snack choice:

1. Breyers now sources milk and cream from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones. (Suppliers of other ingredients such as cookies, candies & sauces may not be able to make this pledge. The FDA states that no significant difference has been shown between dairy derived from rBST-treated and non-rBST-treated cows.)
2. All Breyers vanilla is real and from sustainably farmed, Rainforest Alliance Certified™ vanilla beans.
3. Breyers products are available in grocery stores nationwide for a suggested retail price of $3.99 – $5.99.  This makes them very affordable!
4. Breyers Natural Vanilla is America’s No. 1 vanilla ice cream!
5. It tastes delicous!

There are so many dessert options you can make with Breyers Ice cream too like a stars and stripes sundae, toasted almond and vanilla arancini, tropical ice cream sandwich, pound cake and peaches sundaes, and banana pudding.  We made the Stars and Stripes Sundae!
