These vanilla bean root beer floats are a perfect balance of vanilla bean, spice and sweetness!
I try my best to eat cleanly and workout 5-6 times a week but let’s be real here - I deserve a “cheat” day here and there. Maybe some cupcakes for dinner, a dozen donuts for breakfast, and now this - vanilla bean root beer floats.
But with my clean mentality, I couldn’t help but use Dreyer’s Slow Churned Ice Cream for these root beer floats. With wholesome ingredients like nonfat milk that’s churned together slowly, you get ridiculously rich and creamy ice cream with 1/3 fewer calories than regular ice cream. So yes, bring on the ice cream, and tons of it. And then be sure to generously pour on that bubbly, foamy root beer!
And before I forget, I should let you know that Dreyer’s has some amazing seasonal flavors that are only available through the end of August so be sure to stop by the store soon to stock up!
But if you miss the Slow Churned Limited Edition summer flavors, don’t worry! Pumpkin and Peppermint will be available in early September, so you can enjoy new fall flavors soon!
