## Description

Melt in your mouth ice cream meets crunchy freeze-dried fruits for a delicious, spaced out spin on a classic treat. Just like the astronauts eat! So, what exactly is astronaut ice cream? It’s simple: freeze-dried ice cream is real ice cream! We use the process of lyophilization, commonly known as freeze-drying, to turn the ice cream you know and love into something truly special. Lyophilization removes 98% of the original water content, and the result is a crunchy, creamy sweetness that melts in your mouth. We use the same process to freeze dry fruits, which brings out the sweetness and adds an unexpected crunch to nature’s candy. Best of all, the freeze-drying process allows fruit to retain all of its nutrition! Since the very beginning, all of our products have been proudly made in the USA. You can find our home base in sunny, beautiful Boulder, CO.

Review: This is a bit of a novelty item - I did not like the bananas but my friend LOVES them. Good for sharing with kids while talking about the Space Program. We used to get various space foods when I was a kid. The berries I thought weren’t bad. My favorite was the Neapolitan ice cream sandwich. I would love to get those on their own! We got Astronaut ice cream in chunks when I was a kid, but this was better!
Review: Best dried ice cream product. - I have ordered many times. I like the vanilla. Great for a work snack or just a little treat while driving. Extra special if you eat with cold milk. Just a little pricey but....long shelf life, unique snack and versatile. If you like MRES and their convenience, you'll want these.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little bit of nostalgia
*by C***R on February 22, 2022*

It tastes good but it is Very unique. A little bit of nostalgia for me and others. I remember getting these when I was a kid in the 1980s and visited the Kennedy space center! Back in the day freeze dried blocks, and soup and cheese in toothpaste tubes were all the astronauts pretty much ate. It is very expensive so it is not something I will be getting at a regular basis or use in my food stockpile but it was a nice treat!
