Ice cream, dairy-free
Maybe enough is enough?
Advice is great, but advice on its own won’t make you a better writer. We become better writers by writing and it’s always easier to write when we’re inspired. To that end, a creative prompt using an ordinary item.
This week’s ordinary item: Dairy-free ice cream
What is it? Snow Monkey makes delicious dairy-free anytime desserts. While it looks like ice cream, it actually contains no dairy and is vegan, plant-based, paleo, gluten-free, nut-free, and high in protein.
It’s time to stop this.
We box them in.
We tell them you’re for this place, but this place only - don’t move. We’ll come to you when we’re ready. Until then, stay there.
We’re talking about desserts of course.
And perhaps this type of treatment has gone on for far too long. At least that’s what one company has been trying to convince me of.
Snow Monkey is on a mission to reinvent staple favorite desserts as delicious fuel for a healthy, active life - starting with ice cream. Using only fruits, seeds and superfoods - they’ve made a dessert that breaks down the walls.
Today’s task: Snow Monkey started with reinventing ice cream, but they’re not stopping there. Which dessert should they focus on next?
Leave a comment making your most compelling case for the dessert you want them to reinvent. (Feel free to make it as dramatic and urgent as possible)

Is there one so bold, so brave, to dare to take the poster child for unhealthy eating and turn it into a symbol of health and fitness? How great would it be when you are on your summit climb, you hit the wall, reach into your pack and pull out a raspberry filled jelly donut to recharge. But this is a healthy, protein packed, nautural, organic, etc. dream of a jelly donut. The raspberry filling not only delicious but loaded with power packed goodness!
But alas, I feel it will remain just a dream. This may be a wall too high even for a Snow Monkey to attempt to scale. Climb on little monkey...
"Pardon me, but is there a cow in your coffee"?
It isn't something anyone wants to hear, but we have bad news: Yes. Yes there is a cow in your coffee. The fact is, whether you like a foamy cappuccino, a creamy latte, or just a splash of creamer in your drip, there is a lot of cow in your coffee.
Unfortunately, the alternatives aren't great. Oat milk? Almond milk? Bleh. Watery, bland, dull. Hardly an acceptable alternative.
But there is hope.
