“Sweet Action is out to make the world a better place through a love of ice cream,” is what they say on their website, and we’d have to say they’re doing a fantastic job of it thus far. Not only is their ice cream incredibly delicious, but it’s also good for the planet because they use wind power to create all of their ice creams. Dairy flavors include Blackberry Lavender, Cold Brew Coffee, and Salted Butterscotch, and vegan creations include Carrot Cake, Chocolate Ganache, and Coffee & Donuts.
