All the flavors sound good but I think we’d pick the mint galactica and enjoy it after a lacrosse game! Lucky for us we have a whole foods not more than 12 min away!

I would try the dark chocolate and serve it after a cookout, which we do almost every night. 🙂

Perfect ending for a busy day!

With summer here the whole family is looking to enjoy many traditional summer moments. We love to cookout and have hamburgers and hotdogs with grilled corn on the cob. We also really enjoy letting the boys play in the pool and eat big slices of watermelon. But there is one thing I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to do with them, and it broke my heart. I didn’t know if we could share a delicious ice cream cone with the boys. When Matthew was younger and we found out he was autistic we were devastated that we wouldn’t be able to do “normal” family things like other families did. I used to cry watching my friends take their children to the petting zoo or to the ball park, knowing that we would not be able to do those things. But along came the GFCF diet and major improvements in Matthew’s life, which opened the door to many mundane, yet to us, extraordinary everyday adventures. But of course, once you are GFCF you can’t run out to the ice cream man stopped at the end of the street, and you can’t pop into your favorite local dessert shop for a double cone.

Of course we tried a lot of the frozen desserts in the GFCF isle, but were never really pleased with them. They just weren’t like regular ice cream. But then we found Luna and Larry’s Coconut Bliss! Since starting the GFCF diet I have had a real love affair with coconut milk. It just tastes good to start with, so it should produce good tasting products right? Right!

Vince of Coconut Bliss sent me a coupon to receive one free pint of Luna and Larry’s Coconut Bliss frozen desserts. I sent my hubby to the Whole Food’s Market near his office and told him to pick up a pint. He decided on the Vanilla since it was for the boys and some of the other flavors were more exotic or contained nuts, and we aren’t giving Nico nuts yet. Let me just tell you how utterly delicious the Vanilla Island flavor is. It is made with organic coconut milk, organic agave syrup (very low on the glycemic index ), organic fair trade vanilla extract and organic fair trade vanilla beans, nothing else. Just four yummy ingredients expertly put together to make one really delicious frozen dessert. It was so good that I even served it to my parents on the fourth of July. We made chocolate brownies (from a Whole Food’s 365 brownie mix) and topped them with a scoop of the Luna and Larry’s Coconut Bliss Vanilla Island. It was so good that the boys asked for more. Now that is what I wanted for our summer family get togethers. Maybe we can’t go to ice cream parlors or stop the Good Humor man, but we can give our kids delicious, organic, GFCF frozen desserts that everyone can enjoy, and they can be part of the family and community summer activities. I wouldn’t hesitate to serve Luna and Larry’s Coconut Bliss to guests and I know they would love it. I had a hard time not eating the whole pint myself. I kept making the excuse that it was for research sake, but I finally realized that the boys would benefit from it more than me and have successfully left the pint untouched so the boys can enjoy.

Want to Buy Coconut Bliss? Simply stop by their site and locate a local distributor or order it on-line.

Want to win a pint for yourself? Head over to Luna and Larry’s Coconut Bliss and take a look around at their site. Make sure you can find a store near you, because I have two more coupon’s for one free pint each. Leave me a comment telling me which flavor you want to try and what family gathering you would serve it at. Remember to include your email address or have it visible on your blog. (This is a mandatory entry.)

  5. I am thrilled to learn about this brand — and to see stores in my area that carry it. I'm like you — no nuts, so, the vanilla looks great. Naked coconut and the dark chocolate look good, too! I may have to head over to the specialty market listed to buy some. How much is it?

  6. ps: What family gathering? Supper on the deck — it would be our dessert.

    I want to try this SO bad. I had never heard of it before. I have had to switch to low glycemic recently for medical reasons, so it's all kind of new. I made some ice cream in my machine with agave nectar and it was delicious, but time consuming. I'd love to have the convenience of picking some up– and there's a seller in my area! Mint Galactica, here I come!
