What is a Rebel Float?

A Rebel Float is a modern twist on the classic ice cream soda. Instead of sticking to root beer and vanilla, Rebel Floats explore new pairings—like fruit-infused sodas, dairy-free ice creams, or protein-packed scoops—creating endless flavor combinations.

Can Rebel Floats be made dairy-free?

Absolutely. You can use almond milk gelato, oat-based ice cream, or coconut milk frozen treats. Pair them with fruit-flavored sparkling waters or soda alternatives for a creamy, flavorful, completely dairy-free experience.

Are Rebel Floats good for high-protein diets?

Yes. Many people create high-protein Rebel Floats using Greek yogurt ice cream or whey-based scoops. Paired with low-sugar sodas or energy fizz drinks, they make a refreshing post-workout option that tastes indulgent but fuels your goals.

What’s the best soda to use for a Rebel Float?

It depends on your flavor goals. Lemon-lime, cola, and orange are classics, but artisan sodas like hibiscus, lavender, or ginger-lime add complexity. You can also try kombucha or sparkling teas for a unique, lighter base.
