alias_sqbrI also try to avoid soy, coconut, and vegetable gums. Most are also gluten free, but that's not something I watch out for myself.
The first three are available internationally, for the rest you may need to be in Australia. Most are at Coles/Woolies.
Put a ripe banana in a plastic bag, squish flat, freeze. The squishing really improves the texture!
The Vego hazelnut bar is basically Nutella in solid form. Not quite as nice as good quality milk chocolate, but better than the other vegan "milk" chocolate I've tried. I got mine from the Maylands IGA.
Ben and Jerry's almond milk icecream: I tried the Peanut Butter and Cookies, and the Chocolate Fudge Brownie, and they both tasted cheap and unpleasant. Cam enjoyed them though, so it might just be me. These have coconut oil, soy oil, and guar gum, so it's probably good I didn't like them.
So Good almond milk icecream: I love the salted caramel, but the chocolate and almond was kind of meh. These have coconut oil.
So Delicious Almond Yogurt Quite nice! A little tart. I like the vanilla best. No gums!
The Wise Bunny Yoghurt The mango was more like a pot set pudding than a yogurt, not bad but not really my thing.
Impressed almond yogurt Not bad, though I prefer So Delicious for being a little more liquid and tart.
Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs: Delicious nutty caramel popcorn. Stealth vegan, like a number of Greens products. I like it on cornflakes with the So Delicious yogurt (and some tinned pears, vanilla essence, and cinnamon)
Magnum Almond dairy free Chocolate covered icecream on a stick. Not quite as nice as I remember regular Magnums being, especially the chocolate, but not bad. I can't get the ingredients to load but I remember it having a few things I shouldn't eat too much of.
Jersey Jack Gelato A Perth gelato shop with fantastic sorbets. Afaict their gelato is good too! They have extra locations not listed on their website, including one in Yagan Square near the Perth train station.
Anyone have faves I missed?

"We make our gelato every morning in small batches, maximising freshness and minimising waste. Once it’s done, it goes into the pozzetti – dark wells with opaque lids. This is the traditional Italian method of storage and, without the use of synthetic preservatives, helps prevent oxidisation and everything terrible that comes with it like ice crystals and diminished flavour. The pozzetti are also our way of encouraging you, the gelato-lover, to choose your flavour based on description and curiosity rather than us just trying to dazzle you with lots of bright colours in a row. Lastly, the pozzetti mean your gelataio has a pretty good memory!
Our gelato makers and pastry chefs make every component that goes into our product – brownies, cookies, brioche buns, honeycomb, caramel, meringue, amaretti… you name it! This means we have total control over what goes into every one of our creations, control that we exercise to make clean, real tasting gelato. If you want to know something about a particular flavour, ask away.
We’re constantly figuring out new things to serve up to you. Sometimes it’s due to our gelato maker riding the wave of inspiration (lavender & honeycomb / black sesame & grilled banana / watermelon & mint) and others it’s us putting together something special for a particular event, like our lemon myrtle & macadamia gelato for PIAF or the crucial negroni granita for Negroni Week."
