Hi, I’m Bonnie, the sweet tooth behind Swirl Kind 🍦

I’ve always loved a sweet treat, but being lactose intolerant, caffeine intolerant, and living with IBS and GERD has meant figuring out what works for me. When perimenopause brought changes to my weight, I started looking for ways to enjoy the sweet things I love while being more mindful of calories and getting enough protein.

Then I was rushed to hospital with chest pains. It turned out to be acute indigestion, but it gave me a real fright and made me question whether my usual Greek yoghurt breakfast was agreeing with me. Around the same time, my best friend Jan reminded me about her Ninja CREAMi. I wondered: could I make lovely frozen treats without dairy?

That question started Swirl Kind. I began experimenting with creamy bases, different flavours, and ways to enjoy them as either a shake or a scoop. The best bit has been discovering how much fun it is to play around and make each recipe your own.

Now I’m sharing the journey. I hope Swirl Kind brings a little inspiration, a lot of flavour, and some joy to your own sweet-treat moments 💗
