From a press release:
“Debuting July 4, Fruitive, the family-owned fast-casual restaurant known for its 100% plant-based and organic menu, is introducing a new made-to-order ice cream experience at its 701 Pennsylvania Ave. NW location in Washington, DC.
Inspired by the simple fruit-blended ice cream stands commonly found along roadsides and at local farms in New Zealand, Fruitive’s new offering combines real fruit with a house-made vegan base crafted from cashew cream and coconut milk. The result is a fresh, dairy-free and gluten-free treat that reflects Fruitive’s commitment to wholesome, ingredient-driven food.
To create its signature creamy texture, Fruitive uses a specialized Little Jem machine imported from New Zealand. The machine blends frozen fruit with the restaurant’s house-made base to order, creating a smooth, fruit-infused soft-serve style dessert made fresh for every guest.
Available in vanilla (made with gluten-free oats, cashews and Madagascar vanilla) and chocolate (made with cashews, coconut and cacao), (more…)
