\"Cado<\/p>\n

Like instruction manuals and terms of service agreements, I didn\u2019t read everything on the Cado Avocado Frozen Dessert container. And because I didn\u2019t, I ate it thinking it was made with frozen avocados that have been mashed into a creamy texture. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had ice cream made with the fruit. Yes, it was avocado-flavored and green. It was also not bad. And because of that, I thought, why wouldn\u2019t Cado be like that too?<\/p>\n

When I finally got around to reading the ingredients list because I wanted to know why my lips feel as if they\u2019ve been making out with the spout of an olive oil bottle, I was disappointed to learn that Cado is made with avocado oil. Yes, technically, it\u2019s made from avocados, but not in the way I expected.<\/p>\n

\"Cado<\/p>\n

\"Cado<\/p>\n

Looking back, though, I really should\u2019ve figured that out the moment I peeled back the lid because the vanilla-flavored frozen dessert is as bright white as celebrity teeth, and not at all green.<\/p>\n

Cado is dairy-free, vegan, has been available for a few years, and I\u2019ve passed by it many, many times at my local Target where it\u2019s stuffed between Ben & Jerry\u2019s non-dairy stuff and Archer Farms\u2019 non-dairy stuff. I’ve always been curious about it, looking at it every time I\u2019ve driven my cart past the dessert. But it’s expensive $5.99 price tag kept me away. Well, as you can see, I finally picked it up because it was on sale for the still expensive price of $5.<\/p>\n

\"Cado<\/p>\n

For the most part, it scoops like regular ice cream, although to achieve that, it needs to sit for a little bit. Its vanilla flavor is adequate and there are vanilla bean specks throughout the pint. Also, I didn\u2019t taste anything that would suggest avocado oil is the main ingredient. But, again, it makes my lips feel as if I\u2019m using Pam Cooking Spray as a lip gloss.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t dislike it, but at the same time, its flavor didn\u2019t encourage me to eat the entire container, as I\u2019ve experienced with other non-dairy frozen desserts. Then again, I did pick a basic flavor. <\/p>\n

\"Cado<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re looking for a vegan frozen dessert that\u2019s nut, soy, and gluten free, this is a good option. Also, because it’s made with avocados, it’s low is saturated fat, but contains “good” fats like monounsaturated fat. Unfortunately, the website doesn’t seems to list how much a serving has.<\/p>\n

Will there be a second time with Cado Avocado Frozen Dessert? <\/p>\n

There are other flavors, like Deep Dark Chocolate, Java Chip, Salted Caramel Swirl, Cookies & Cream, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Simply Lemon. I wouldn\u2019t mind trying a different one when they go on sale again.<\/p>\n
