So I have decided to become vegan which isnt so much of a change because I'm not too fond of dairy and meat anyway. The only problem I have is the ice cream. I can't stop eating it and I am in college and have no money to afford soy ice cream. Any suggestions?
you could try chopping up a really ripe banana, freezing and then creaming them in a blender.
Keep your eye out at thrift stores for an ice cream maker. It's a lot cheaper to make your own vegan ice cream. There are some recipes for it in this month's Vegetarian Times. There's lots on the internet, too.
I also second cerealaddiction's suggestion. I really like to blend frozen strawberries and frozen pineapple together. Sometimes I add a little soy milk if it's too thick.
That was a hurdle for me too :)
If your college provides you with ice cream, you should talk to the kitchen manager...a lot of times they are happy to provide an alternative such as Tofutti, Soy ice cream or Rice Dream. I've found a lot of times that it's not much more expensive than the dairy kind.
Last night i made something that i saw on one of the posts here:
1 frozen banana (make sure to freeze after taking out of skin, not before...i made that mistake)
1 tbsp. cocoa powder (unsweetened)
a drop of vanilla
soy milk to cover
I put it in my food processor (i have no blender) and mixed it up. If you don't have a blender or food processor you could just try to mash it up a little. It was so good, even my boyfriend (who is vegan but not dieting) loved it. He says i have to make him one tonight.
Good luck!

I am definitely making that this weekend!! Thanks 
Soy Dream and one other (pint size) are the same as or cheaper than regular ice cream brands of the same size.
