Pierre's Ice Cream Company

 
 
"Pierre's Signature Collection was carefully crafted with ice-cream lovers in mind..."
- Pierre's President and CEO, Shelley Roth




 
Summer is well on its way, even now the weather is increasing higher that I find myself looking into purchasing delicious cold ice-cream.  Pierre's Signature Ice Cream is so deliciously tasty that you'll want to indulge a little... okay maybe a lot, in their irresistible ice cream! Their privately owned company has been around since 1932. With 235 different flavors of ice cream to its name, there are 3 collections to share and enjoy. The collections include:
 
1. All natural iHola Fruta! Pure Fruit Sherbet. There are 7 available flavors; Black Cherry Lemon, Mango, Margarita, Peach, Pina Colada, Pomegranate & Blueberry, and Strawberry.

 
I LOVE tropical flavors! It might have to do with being a Floridian but I was delighted to try these 1 pint sized selections. I tried the Pomegranate & Blueberry and Mango.
Whoa, you can really taste the mango! Its exactly like devouring the fresh juicy fruit but in ice cream form. Very sweet and delish!
The Pomegranate & Blueberry was richly and tart tasting. Its a fresh blend of the two fruits. Kids will love these!
 
Next I would like to try the Pina Colada!
 
This collection of ice cream is made with antioxidant rich fruits and real fruit purees. Naturally low in fat and cholesterol. Features 130-140 calories per 1/2 cup serving.
 
 
 
 
2. Pierre's probiotic Yovation with Live Active Yogurt Culutres. There are 7 available flavors; Black Cherries & Chocolate Chunks, Butter Pecan, Cappuccino, Chocolate, Moose Tracks, Vanilla Pomegranate Blueberry, and Vanilla.

 
This collection is sooo smooth and divine. I absolutely loved the two flavors Moose Tracks and Vanilla Pomegranate Blueberry.  The Moose Tracks is smooth and creamy with the added peanut butter cups. Simply perfect. This is my favorite of the 6! The Vanilla Pomegranate Blueberry ice cream is also just as smooth and creamy. Its a good blend of the vanilla and the same pomegranate & blueberry that I tasted in the Hola Fruta! sherbet.
 
Next I would love to try their chocolate flavor!
 
 
 
3. Pierre's Signature Ultimate Ice Cream. Created in celebration of Pierre's 80th anniversary, there are 7 available flavors. Banana Fudge Chunk, Cherries & Chocolate Chunks, Chocolate Lava Cake, Coconut Fudge Almond, Exquisite Vanilla, Mocha Mud Pie, and Nun Better™ Snickerdoodle.

 
You can really tell that this company wants the best experience with you, made with the finest ingredients you will love this collection. I tried the Banana Fudge Chunk and Cherries & Chocolate Chunks. I love bananas! Banana Fudge Chunk was made perfect for me. This chunky surprise contains walnuts and fudge chunks. Totally loving this flavor! Next Cherries meet Chocolate! Not a combination I would think of trying, but that's because I don't like cherries. The Cherries & Chocolate Chunks are a great blend and my family enjoyed it. I'm sure all of you that love cherries this would be for you!!! 

Next I would like to try the Nun Better™ Snickerdoodle. I'm intrigued that this flavor was inspired by the famous homemade cookies lovingly made by the Holy Spirit in Cleveland, Ohio!
 



All in all these are delicious and fun flavors to delight yourself with.
Highly recommended! I would definitely serve these flavors at gatherings and parties :)
 
Pierre's Signature Ice Cream can be found in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Pierre's products are also sold internationally, and can be found in Aruba, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico.  Since I live in Florida that means I can't purchase any right? Nope. Pierre's Ice-cream can be ordered and delivered straight to your door! I never knew ice cream could even be delivered before this.  The companies cold dessert is stored in a warehouse freezer kept at a constant -25° F. Packages are delivered with dry ice meaning fresh exquisite ice cream is ready to serve!

MyOatmeal.com - Customize Your Own!

(Disclaimer: I received this product to try and review from My Oatmeal. All opinions shared are my own.)
 
 
"So original with great tasting combinations I'm hooked!"
 
 
Get creative when preparing breakfast that is healthy and good for your body.
My Oatmeal is a family run company that specializes in custom-made healthy oatmeal.  There are many ingredient to choose from. All gluten free and all natural ingredients.
 
My personal inspiration was a flashback from my recent anniversary cruise with my husband. One of the desserts we were served was Crème Brulee. It was my first time trying the disk shaped dessert and it was delicious. Also my favorite to-go-to fruit in the morning is a banana so I came up with the Banana Crème Brulee Divine!
 
One of the things that caught my eye once I received my bag is when I read '22 Billion Combinations'. Whoa. You can really get super creative! I personally do not like too much water in my oatmeal so I did adjust some of the directions. It came out tasting great.
 
 
 
Creating your own custom bag: First, you can select from a small bag (1 lb.) medium bag (2.5 lbs.) or a jumbo bag (4 lbs.). Totally loving that these bags are re-sealable. Next, there are 6 types of oats (they use Non-GMO oats). Quick Rolled Instant Oats, 5 Grain Rolled Oats & Flax, Steel Cut Oats (whole grain pieces), Smash Blend Oatmeal, Gluten Free Quick Oats, & Organic, Gluten Free, Thick Rolled Oats.
 
After you pick your oats its time for the flavors. There are many to choose from: Peanut Butter, Egg Nog, Cinnamon Roll, Vanilla Cream, Peaches & cream & more! There are also organic ingredients to add as well. Next you pick your fruits. Apples, Bananas, Mangos, etc. Then your Nuts, Seeds & More: Flax Seeds (ground or whole), pecans, sliced almonds, etc. Following is your sweetener: White sugar cane (plant), Brown Sugar Cane (plant), etc.
 
After that you get the option to choose to receive a new bag of oatmeal weekly or monthly. And for the finale you get to name your bag! Pretty neat to see the name you chose printed on the back of the oatmeal. Now I've seen some very creative names so use your wit & imagination! (I will get more creative next time for sure!)
 
 
 
My bag consisted as follows:
 
5 Grain Rolled Oats $3.99
Crème Brulee $1.75
1oz Banana Chips $1.50
1oz Ground Flax Seeds $1.50
Brown Cane Sugar (plant) $0.99
Medium (2.25lbs)
Creation name: Banana Crème Brulee Divine!
Total cost: $20.80+S&H (Prices do range depending on the ingredients you select)
 
I really enjoy eating great tasting oatmeal before going on my jog on the weekends. This product provides just the uniqueness pinch of what will make my breakfast more enjoyable than my default cold cereal every morning.
 
 
With Mother's Day just passing I was able to sample this with some of my Momma friends. It was well liked!
 
This is a perfect gift idea for a friend or loved one. I love that there are also holiday inspired oatmeal selections. For an example, there is the March Chocolate Shamrock, December Ginger Cookie, February Red Velvet Double Date, & more. All sound so festive and yummy!
 
If you're feeling brave or just not sure what to make you can purchase a mystery bag! We all have those extra ingredients left over when we are cooking from scratch. One of the neat things is they never go to waste with My Oatmeal. Its gets blended together creating such a secret creation you won't know what you bought until you try it! Try 1lb. for a low price of $6.99!
 
Wonderful and friendly service! After the order was completed I received my bag in just two business days. Fast service.
