The Story...

A few years ago, my sweet daughter, Sophie had developed some serious health issues, with frequent colds that often led to breathing difficulties and coughing fits. She was on a cocktail of allergy medicines, missed weeks of school and was suffering terribly.  It was heart breaking for my husband and I to see her chronically sick and we hated to give her medicine that didn’t seem to help anyway. Sophie was sick and exhausted. We were desperate. 

I started looking for alternative approaches to rid Sophie of her allergies and her dependency on ineffective medicine.  I found increasingly more evidence of a link between allergies and dairy products, so I eliminated them from Sophie’s diet.  Within weeks, Sophie was symptom free. Since then, she has not taken any medication and hasn’t missed a single school day because of sickness. She is a healthy, happy and ridiculously active child.  

But Sophie missed her ice cream! So with my culinary training from the Natural Gourmet Institute and my background as a researcher, I set out to make the most delicious and healthy non-dairy ice cream for Sophie.  Many batches later, Nutty Bunny was created and named after my nickname for Sophie.
