Jude’s Blue Vanilla Spirulina Ice Cream (Ocado) By @SpectreUK

"You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream" a colleague in a previous workplace said that to me one hot summer. It's getting a little cooler presently, so I thought I'd try this Jude's Blue Vanilla Ice Cream before it gets colder. It's made with Spirulina, which is a blue-green algae, which was first eaten by the Aztecs for it's nutritional values. It's packed full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and protein. It's most recently been used by NASA for supplementing astronaut's diets on space missions.

 

Most people would say I'm pretty spaced out much of the time, so this Jude's Blue Vanilla Ice Cream should be right up my street. On opening the tub you can see from the photograph that the ice cream is certainly blue. I don't know why, maybe it was the mention of algae, but I was expecting it to be glowing or something. On taste the flavour is similar to vanilla, but not quite there. Creamy indeed and an unusual taste, I liked the flavour, and would have this blue ice cream again for its nutritional values. On the plus side, it went rather well with a bag of Maltesers I had for pudding.
