A Refreshing Taste of Summer

Last Fall, I wrote a commentary called The Holidays Are Here, Ice Cream Lovers, where I discussed the the seasonal flavors Publix seasonal flavors Publix Super Markets would be offering for a special treat for all to dig in and enjoy as we celebrated the most joyous time of the year.

 

And now, in honor of Summer, Publix is offering wonderful treats to us cool down on those hot, steamy nights of June, July and August. Toppings not included.

The grocery chain is now selling some of its “most popular” flavors in pint sizes, alongside four new lactose-free options, Publix said in a May 5 news release.

The “everyday” flavors lineup is available in stores and includes:

- Barnie’s Coffee: Barnie’s coffee-flavored ice cream with real milk and cream.

- Chocolate Trinity: Chocolate ice cream, swirls of Mackinac fudge and mini fudge cups.

- Cookies & Cream: Sweet ice cream and chocolate sandwich cookie pieces.

- Moose Tracks: Vanilla ice cream, peanut butter cups and swirls of Mackinac fudge.

Two new flavors — Chocolate and Chocolate and Vanilla Crunch — will arrive in the freezer aisle this summer, according to Publix.

Those with lactose intolerance can also enjoy Publix’s popular ice cream, now available in quart sizes. The new lactose-free flavors include:

- Caramel Toffee: Caramel-flavored ice cream, chocolate caramel swirls and toffee pieces.

- Cookies ’n Cream: Vanilla ice cream and chocolate sandwich cookie pieces.

- Pineapple Banana: Pineapple banana ice cream and fruit.

- Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel: Chocolate peanut butter ice cream, cocoa, peanuts and cocoa-covered pretzels.

So, Friends, get out your spoons and bowls, dig in, and enjoy a refreshing Taste of Summer.
