Celiac Teens

So you’d think yesterday was just any old day. I’m strolling through the grocery store… picking up some last minute things for a taco dinner, and I decide that I’d like some ice cream. I check the non-dairy section first. And what jumps out at me? The words, “GLUTEN FREE” in black and yellow.

I’m sure you can share the feeling… our eyes are trained to see those words in a sea of ingredient lists and labels… especially, if it’s on the front of a package. My mind quickly registers, and I think, “Why the heck would they put “GLUTEN FREE, WHEAT FREE” on an ice cream label? (or dairy-free frozen dessert label) I get a bit closer to see what it is. And what to my wandering eyes does appear? Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream… along with no fear.

No fear because it already says “GLUTEN FREE” right on it (on the removable “freshness” label). I quickly grab it, let out a little squeal (I’m sure onlookers were scared), and toss it in my cart.

I actually waited until *after* I ate my tacos to taste it. And it was divine! And this was at my regular grocery store in the dairy-free dessert section! But I’m sure many health food stores carry it. Okay, if you’re still reading this and haven’t yet gotten up to run to the store to get some, do it now. You won’t regret it!

Thank you, Purely Decadent. We heart you! A lot.
