Man, we love bubble tea. We also love having ice cream in the freezer over summer. So the idea of a treat that combines the two is a no-brainer. The only problem is, all that dairy intake is not the best thing we could be doing to our bodies.
Happily, Buono from Thailand is here to spread the joy with frozen desserts made from 100 per cent plant-based ingredients. Free from gluten, dairy, artificial colours, artificial flavours, trans fats, preservatives and cholesterol, these vegan treats don’t shortchange on flavour.
The Boru Boru bubble tea range features coconut-based frozen desserts blended with the flavour of real brewed tea and combined with chewy Boru Boru balls for the burst of pearls that we love from bubble tea. It’s available in two flavours: Thai Tea and Genmaicha (a combination of green tea and roasted rice with a unique aroma).

Best of all, Buono Boru Boru and Buona Mochi Ice are super easy to find – they're available at Coles, Woolworths, and and speciality food stories nationally.
