I tried all the vegan soft serve in Ottawa. I probably missed a few but I did try a lot of them. I have lived in Ottawa for two years and I was still transitioning from vegetarian to vegan when I moved here. I don’t remember having a lot of soft serve in Vancouver when I did eat dairy. I only remember having it at McDonald’s and buffets. I didn’t even know vegan soft serve was a thing until I moved to Ottawa. I tried six places The Merry Dairy, Oddburger, Little Jo Berry’s, Chocolate Favouris, IKEA, PastelXCoco, and 2 bonuses dole whip from Cinnaholic and the plant based dilly bar from Dairy Queen.

I enter and win a lot of contests but I always forget to track how much I win. This year I am going to have a blog post and keep updating it as I win.  Contest win #5 and #6 are actually both prepaid credit cards.

I had already listened to the pre launch podcast which was amazing Oprah was the first guest so I decided to join the launch party on YouTube as she was giving away a lot of gift cards.

The second prize was a $25 CDN Visa card from a coke contest. If you are not following @yourcouponingsis you should because she posts reminders o
