A few weeks ago I had an unusual craving after work. I had seen an ice cream float earlier in the day, but wanted a healthier alternative to the typical version. With my recent love for Arctic Zero, I decided to check out the flavors they had available. I immediately zeroed in on coffee. Perfect!
Next I needed a kombucha that would pair well with coffee, instead of the typical fruit flavors. The High Country Wild Root sounded promising, so I crossed my fingers and bought them both.
As I prepared to assemble this easy treat after dinner that night, the hazelnut butter caught my eye and I added this optional (but amazing) flavor to the bottom of my mug. The result is a more sophisticated mix of flavors than your typical float, but just as fun!!

- 1/2 bottle High Country Wild Root Kombucha (or similar spiced kombucha)
- Add hazelnut butter to the bottom of a glass mug and microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until soft.
- Top with several scoops of arctic zero, leaving a good amount of room between the top of the dessert & top of the mug.
- Slowly pour kombucha over the top, allowing the foam to settle before filling to cover the top of the dessert.
- Enjoy with a long spoon and a big smile!
And since this healthy spin on an ice cream float isn’t quite so normal, I am happy to be adding this new recipe to Laura’s weekly Strange But Good roundup. Make sure you check out some of the other treats featured over there!
