Lactose Free Ice Cream in Igloo Cooler

Lactose-Free Ice Cream 101: Back To School Snack Ideas

August is here! And that means school is in session, as well as a ton of other kid-centric activities that are gonna need a dash of sweetness. Common knowledge among parents is that snacks WILL be required before school, during school, and after school. No matter what activity calls for a treat, we’ve got some delicious hacks that are A+. 

The best part? They all involve our favorite subject: ice cream 🙂 

 

Fix “Post Class Crashes” with an Ice Cream Sandwich 

Because when the sweet tooth hits, it hits hard. Fresh, warm cookies paired with rich, creamy ice cream…it’s a classic kid friendly dessert that never fails to provide a quick pick-me-up after a full day of study. 

PRO TIP: Get the perfect amount of ice cream by turning your pint of Beckon on its side and slice it into 4 equal slices with a sharp knife. This creates a “puck” shape, perfect for the middle of your sandwich! Put that between two cookies of choice and you have a delicious after school snack made with tummy friendly lactose free ice cream. 

 

Share Soccer Match Victories with a Beckon Ice Cream Snack Cup 

After any rigorous activity, your kiddos are going to be looking to refuel and treat themselves. Give them an instant sundae with our single serving ice cream Snack Cups, ready to go with fun toppings like rainbow sprinkles and cookie crumbles.  How’s this for a fun hack? No spoons required, as you can take the pull tab, fold it in half, and start scooping! 

 

Enjoy Birthday Party Ice Cream Socials with Ice Cream Cake 

Back to school means back to group gatherings (in a COVID safe environment, of course!). For the next outdoor party,  grab a few of your favorite Beckon Ice Cream flavors (quarts now available!) and create a DIY sundae bar filled with kid friendly toppings like gummy worms, animal crackers, twizzlers… anything colorful and fun that comes to mind. Let them get creative as they make lasting memories. 

If you’re feeling a little extra, try this recipe for a delicious Beckon Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Cake. It doesn’t take a math class to know that ice cream + cake = good times. Always. 

 

As summer comes to a close, things are bound to start getting busier. These yummy, yet easy snack hacks featuring kid friendly desserts can make the coming of the new school year that much more enjoyable, and give us something to look forward to. Especially when you know that Beckon Ice Cream’s premium lactose-free ice cream won’t cause any digestive distress, yet still have all the sweet, creamy texture little ones know and love.
