According to Pressed, the Freeze is “a soft-serve frozen treat…using only fruits, vegetables, almonds and coconuts” while at the same time is ALSO “vegan, gluten and dairy-free”.
Pressed proudly boasts their ingredients and contrasts them with those found in other popular ice creams. For example, their Vanilla Almond flavor consists of only dates, almonds, vanilla, and water. 4 ingredients. And it tastes just as creamy as any soft-serve.

In comparison, Yogurtland’s vanilla flavor, contains a laundry list of ingredients, including, cellulose gum, maltodextrin, dextrose, vegetable diglycerides, carageenan, and guar gum, with vanilla… being the last ingredient on the list. I’m a Human Biology major and I have no idea what half those things are.
They offer a variety of fruits and seeds for toppings, as well as more unique choices such as peanut butter, almond butter, and their homemade cacao nut freezing drizzle, rose syrup, and pink Himalayan sea salt.
