Strawberry Oat Frozen Dessert

Between my lactose intolerance and B's allergy to eggs, we don't buy very much regular ice cream anymore. Lucky for us, Trader Joe's keeps coming out with new vegan ice creams to try, made with different types of plant-based milks. One of the ones we tried earlier this fall was this strawberry oat frozen dessert with almond brittle and candied strawberries ($3.99). 

The base of the ice cream was oat milk, and the ingredients also included tapioca syrup, coconut oil, and agave syrup, with color provided by beets, annatto, and strawberries. This was the second vegan ice cream we tried from Trader Joe's, and we didn't like it as much as the other one (the vanilla one made with almond beverage that we still need to write a review for). A thought it felt more crystal-like and icy in texture because of the oat milk, while my biggest issue with it was the almond brittle. I found that I was still chewing the hard little bits of almond brittle even after all the strawberry flavor of the ice cream was gone, and I just wasn't a big fan of the almond brittle on its own. We liked the flavor of the strawberry ice cream itself, but noticed few candied strawberries. The overall ice cream was fine because the strawberry was good, but it wasn't as good as some of the other flavors, especially the vanilla.

Buy again? No. This was fine, but we prefer the vanilla-almond ice cream. If they were out of that one, we'd probably wait for it to come back or see what other new flavors TJ's comes up with next!
