Vegan Ice Cream
On (Three) Wheels.
Hi! I'm Helen and I love ice cream. And if you're here because you love it, too, then you've come to the right place.
Best One Yet was founded on the idea that vegan ice cream (that's 100% plant-based with zero animal products) can be just as good as its traditional dairy counterparts. We want to make ice cream so good that you won't feel like it's missing anything (except the dairy, but you won't care). How? By using a technique perfected over many years of practice and real, whole ingredients: organic coconut milk, rich cocoa, toasted nuts, spices and fresh, local produce and herbs.
My promise: you don't have to be a vegan or lactose-intolerant to love Best One Yet ice cream. You just have to love ice cream.

What Does vegan mean?
For starters, I love this question. It's great to ask if you aren't sure! Vegan simply means 100% free of animal products. So in ice cream terms, this means: no dairy, no eggs, no honey, no food dyes or colorings that may contain animal additives, etc.
Why vegan?
We're here to answer that question with another question: why not? Just kidding, kind of. Vegan ice cream answers a need for more than just the vegan community. There are a lot of people out there with dairy sensitivities or intolerances. And there are also people who just like good ice cream, which is exactly what Best One Yet sets out to provide. We're not just for vegans or the lactose intolerant. It's ice cream for everyone.
What's your base?
Coconut! While we've experimented with some other options and would be open to expanding our bases down the line (way, waaay down the line!), we found coconut to be the best stand-in for dairy when it comes to making delicious frozen treats.
Is your ice cream gluten-free?
Some of them! Coconut milk is a naturally gluten-free food and we'll always aim to have at least one gluten-free option when we're out on the road.
Is your ice cream soy-free?
Most of them! We have a few flavors that include ingredients that contain soy, but most of them do not.
IS YOUR ICE CREAM PEANUT-FREE?
Most of them! We do have several peanut butter based flavors but we also have many that contain zero peanuts or peanut butter.
Is your ice cream TREE nut-free?
No, no, no. I only emphasize this because I know nut allergies can be very, very serious. Coconuts are a tree nut, so sadly if you have a tree nut allergy, Best One Yet will not be for you. We also have some other flavors that incorporate other tree nuts such as almonds, pecans or walnuts. Of course, if you are allergic to some but not all of these tree nuts, we may still have some flavors that work for you!
How do you avoid contamination of allergen-free flavors?
Thank you for asking! Best One Yet operates out of a shared commissary space. While we will do our absolute best to avoid cross-contamination and will hope others do the same, we cannot guarantee the practices of others using our shared space. If you have any severe allergies or concerns, please let us know. And if we can't offer enough assurance that the product is free of your allergen, we'd rather you enjoy another product and be safe!
What do you use to sweeten your ice cream?
We use organic cane sugar.
Is your ice cream healthy because it's vegan?
Another good question! Best One Yet's ice cream is still very much dessert, which means it inherently can't be classified as a health food. As with any dessert, moderation is key! But because we are committed to using zero animal products, less sugar and organic, local ingredients whenever possible, it is a dessert you can feel better about enjoying.
Where can I find a complete list of ingredients?
Just ask! If you're interested in a specific flavor or a full range, email info@bestoneyetvegan.com for more information. We can also answer any questions about ingredients when we're out and about.
Can I find your product in stores?
Not ... yet!
Where are you right now?
The best way to find our current location (or where we're headed next) is to follow us on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
Can I hire you for my birthday party/wedding/family reunion/Office event?
Yeah! Check out the Let's Party section for more details.
Can I write about Best One Yet in my magazine/blog/other publication?
YES! For more info, check out our Press page.
What kind of vespa IS IT?
It's a 1980 Vespa P200E.
Does she have a name?
Of course! The Vegan Vespa oftentimes goes by her alias, Ruby Rose.
Who's your mechanic?
Hit up JP at Sportique Scooters in Boulder, CO to tune up your steed.
Talk to me about that sidecar.
How much time do you have? It was 100% custom-built by Luis Bringas of BN Fabrications in Parker, CO.
Who did your branding?
Good Apples, a design studio in Boulder, CO.
What's your favorite flavor?
Currently: #PBB, a peanut butter ice cream with peanut butter swirl and brownie pieces. That question should probably be harder for me to answer, but there you have it.
