Now that we have discussed how great WINK is for you, let’s talk about taste and texture two BIG deals for me when it comes to ice cream as well as most other foods.
After thawing a few minutes, it has a soft serve ice cream texture which I LOVE. And after taste testing each flavor all were absolutely delicious and I even forgot that it wasn’t the real deal!
Let’s go through each flavor:
Cake batter was smooth and creamy and it tasted like a frozen version of my favorite vanilla boxed cake! Brought back some wonderful childhood memories! And since it was my real birthday the other day, it paired perfectly with my birthday cupcake!
Choco mint was Jake’s favorite flavor! It has the dark chocolate flavor he loves and with a touch of mint, it was amazing.
Iced Latte was my favorite! I am a coffee snob and I am not afraid to admit it, and the Iced Latte tasted like one of my fancy coffee drinks I order out! So good!
Cinnamon Bun was a close second to my favorite because I LOVE cinnamon. It really did taste like a frozen version of our favorite Sunday breakfast treat!
Cocoa Dough was very chocolatey smooth and quite delectable!
Overall, WINK Frozen Desserts gets two thumbs up and I will most certainly recommend them to anyone!
I also made some delicious cookies to make ice cream sandwiches with my WINK desserts! They were AMAZING!

Iced latte was the best!!! Please do request! They are still growing and could use the help expanding!
Lauren @ Healthy Delicious says
I just gave up dairy recently so I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for this! Ice cream is what I miss the most (and of course, it's also the thing that bothers me the most!)
[email protected] says
I can only imagine how tough it is to go without ice cream! I'm glad I could ease your search for you! 🙂

Oh wow, what a great product. My daughter had 8 allergies, we're down to 7. When she outgrew her dairy allergy we thought we were safe but so many of them contain soy too. Great to see a soy free product for those w/allergies! Definitely looking to see if it's anywhere near us!
[email protected] says
Oh wow! I can only imagine how difficult food buying can be for your family! I hope you find Wink near you! They even provide a request form to print out and take to your local stores if they do not sell it 🙂

You are totally my new best friend for telling me about this frozen yogurt! We have severe peanut/tree nuts allergies in my house so finding "safe" frozen treats can be a real challenge. The flavors sound so fun!
[email protected] says
Aww I am happy that you guys can finally enjoy this dessert worry free! My cousin has severe nut allergies and I can't wait to share this with him too! I hope you try it and enter to win some too!
