It’s really no surprise you’re loving
the way NO BULL tastes. However, we believe there’s much more to our non-dairy ice
cream than creating the perfect flavor combination. While working hard to develop
our first 8 desserts, the team paid close attention to the quality and origin
of all sourced ingredients. One of which, is organic whole oats. After
discovering these may have a range of potential health benefits for consumers, we
decided to add them to our approved ingredient list. And here’s why!
In recent years, increased consumer awareness towards health has emphasized the adoption of a high fiber diet. On this list is oats – loaded with dietary fiber (in fact, more than many other grains!) and a range of healthy cholesterol-lowering properties. One paper published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine assessed several oat experiments spanning across more than a decade. Their discovery? Eating foods rich in whole-oat sources of soluble fiber, such as oats, oat bran, and oat flour, may help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. They also concluded that the consumption of oats and oat-based products significantly reduces total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations without adverse effects on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol or triglyceride concentrations. Thus, promoting the use of oats in functional food products has been found to improve the overall quality of foodstuffs.
In fact, further exploration and research from Harvard University indicates the primary type of soluble fiber in oats, beta-glucan, aids in slowing digestion, increasing satiety, and suppressing appetite. Beta-glucan can bind with intestinal acids, transport them through the digestive tract, and eventually, out of the body. The best part? One of the many uses of beta-glucan is stabilizing ice creams.
Oats are also rich in a range of important minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, such as phosphorous, thiamine, magnesium, and zinc. Just 100 grams of oats contains 51 percent of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of thiamine, 8 percent riboflavin, 5 percent niacin, 6 percent vitamin B6, 26 percent iron, 44 percent magnesium, 52 percent phosphorus, 12 percent potassium, 26 percent zinc, and 246 percent manganese. Yep…we’re definitely onto something here!
As knowledge about the many nutritional benefits of oats continues to increase, so has the demand for oat-based products. By using an oat base, instead of coconut or nuts, our quality frozen dessert components offer great taste and texture, with most flavors under 190 calories and only 6 grams of fat per serving. We want you to know that consciously sourcing the finest ingredients for your enjoyment will always to be a top priority for us. And really…there’s no bull about that!
A few weeks ago, athletes and fans fell in love with NO BULL for the very first time at Don Shula’s Superbowl celebration. We realized we’d scored big when Mark Clayton and Mark Duper, two former NFL stars, raved about our desserts and couldn’t get enough.
For those reasons, we were up for the challenge and ready to conquer our next endeavor: introducing NO BULL to the plant-based community. Our team decided to stop at the Miami Veg Fest, an outdoor health festival held at the University of Miami, to showcase a variety of flavors to our hometown locals.
I mean really, who wouldn’t want to try a delicious frozen dessert on a hot South Florida day?
Visitors from all parts of the globe came out to sample and get the inside scoop on our incrediBULL creations.
We knew we’d done it again when lines of attendees patiently waited for seconds (and for some, thirds!). We even had the opportunity to serve NO BULL to world famous physician Dr. Michael Klaper, known for educating and supporting individuals around the globe on their health and well-being journey through a whole food, plant-based diet. The craziest part is that so many of you asked for pints on site, which honestly, was a pleasant surprise to us.
This led to a group of university students, having just fallen for NO BULL, to rush back to the dorms and happily greet us with empty Tupperware containers at cleanup time. We scooped them all the extra ice cream we had so they could share with friends and enjoy eating our treats together.
As they gratefully walked away, we couldn’t help but smile knowing our passion for excellence made their days. Seriously, you proved NO BULL really is just that good.
It was no surprise to us that our non-dairy ice cream was the hit of the show. Next time, we’ll be sure to come better prepared with pints for you to take home!
Hearing your valued feedback and chatting about all things plant-based is what pushes us to do what we do. So really, thank you for supporting our business by coming by to taste, smile, and say hello.
They say you learn something new every day. And that day, we learned just how many people love NO BULL dairy-free ice cream. The excitement is real, and we cannot wait to see your smiles again in a few weeks at your local Florida Whole Foods Market. Which location will we be meeting you at?
Here at NO BULL, we value your feedback and strive to create the perfect non-dairy ice cream alternative every day. For months our team has tasted, perfected, and remade countless batches of oat-based flavors to bless your taste buds with nothing far from creamy excellence. And let me tell you…we’re onto something!
As a newcomer to the non-dairy community, we were curious to see NO BULL’s performance in a highly competitive playing field. So, we took a leap of faith and decided to sample our flavors at Football Hall of Fame Coach Don Shula’s Superbowl celebration.
Here, athletes and fans tasted our creamy Caramel Apple Pie and Peanut Butter Fudge for the very first time, and the overwhelming amount of positive feedback has us jumping in our seats! We are so ready for you to try our pints this April, which will be eagerly waiting to meet you at your local Florida Whole Foods Market. I mean really, we’re just THAT good… and are humbled to see that you agree, too.
As the plant-based consumer market continues to expand, educational films supporting the movement of modern athletes towards a plant-based diet have grown in popularity. Research has found that a plant-based diet aids in athlete’s recovery time, performance, and agility, as highlighted in contemporary films such as TheGame Changers.
That evening, NO BULL had the pleasure of meeting and sampling to former NFL stars Mark Clayton and Mark Duper, who truly had a lot to say about our desserts. The team was initially anxious to know how NO BULL would be received by the boyhood football stars of our founder. However, it was a pleasant surprise to see the pervasiveness of our products among current and former players.
We knew we were officially in the game when the two hung around and tasted both flavors many, many times. I mean seriously, we almost gave Mark Clayton, who knows a good catch when he sees one, his own personal scooper! We called the plays, they caught the flavors, and ran with it. It was then, we knew we had scored big. So yeah, it’s official – we’ve created a delicious, creamy, non-dairy game changer. And don’t worry, the wait is almost over! We’ll see you at your local Florida Whole Foods Market in April.
Until then, let’s stay connected on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter at @eatnobull. We’ll continue to keep you posted on our next adventures, so stay tuned for the next opportunity to come by and taste NO BULL. Because really, we’re just that good.
