It’s a “golden age” for vegan ice cream, as more young consumers go dairy-free. Not only is vegan food a top food trend among Millennials & Gen Z, but Nielsen data shows that nondairy ice cream sales surged 50% from 2016 to 2017. Trendy ice cream chain Van Leeuwen says when they first came out with nondairy flavors, “they exploded” (figuratively), encouraging them to add ten flavors to their everyday lineup and for countless other brands to follow suit.
