Beckon is calling people back to REAL ice cream that is unbelievably delicious and surprisingly lactose-free. Founded on the belief that no one should have to miss out on premium ice cream, co-founders Katy (lactose-intolerant) and Gwen (sympathetic sweet tooth) created the first-ever clean label premium lactose-free dairy ice cream on the market. With the real milk, the added lactase enzyme, no gums, corn syrup, or artificial stabilizers, Beckon is bringing back the joy of real ice cream to include the 25% of Americans who are lactose intolerant so that everyone can enjoy the creamy, drool-worthy treats they grew up loving without any compromises. The line includes seven classic flavors: Dark Chocolate Brownie, Peanut Butter Cup (upcycled with UNREAL peanut butter cups), Vanilla, Sea Salt Chocolate Chip (a serendipitous accident), Mint Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cookies & Sweet Cream, Chocolate, and Espresso. Beckon is available nationwide at Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, and other select retailers throughout the country, as well as on beckonicecream.com. Flavors are available in 16oz pints (SRP $5.99) and 32oz quarts ($8.99), and NEW SNACK CUPS: perfectly portioned indulgences with tasty toppings underneath the lid. Don’t miss a Beckon beat and go to beckonicecream.com or follow @BeckonIceCream to learn more!
