Happy First Day of Spring: Go Get Your Free Rita’s Water Ice

by Sally Andersen

Today, March 20, is the official first day of the spring season, though by the cool wind that we have in Philly today you would never guess it.

Companies that serve up warm weather treats love to help you celebrate this momentous, annual change by giving you a free taste of their goods. Most notably of these, is the Rita’s Water Ice franchise.

So should you be heading to a Rita’s location near you today for your freebie cup of Rita’s flavored ice made with real fruit, here are the ones that are vegan, as determined by me by analyzing their online allergen report:

Vegan Rita’s Water Ice Flavors
(ices only, no cream ices are vegan unless specifically noted)

Banana
Blueberry
Cherry
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (**But NOT the cookie dough bits that can be added into Blendinis, etc.)
Chocolate

Lemon
Fudge Brownie
Grape
Green Apple
Key Lime
Kiwi Strawberry
Mango
Passion Fruit
Peach
Pina Colada
Raspberry

Root Beerritas.gif
Strawberry
Sugar-Free Cherry
Sugar-Free Pink Lemonade
Sugar-Free Root Beer
Sugar-Free Tangerine

Wild Berry
Wild Black Cherry

Also Coming in Animal Product-Free

Waffle Cone

*Please note that this does not mean that they are gluten-free. If you have an allergy, check out Rita’s Web site for more info. These listed also may or may not contain soy.

However, ALL Rita’s products for 2008 are completely devoid of: fish, shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts.

P.S. These flavors will still be vegan tomorrow, next month, and through out the rest of the 2008 Rita’s season - during which I will be constantly enjoying them!

Enjoy!
