CHARLOTTE, NC – (July 19, 2023) – Dole Food Company, Inc. is looking to the stars to encourage Americans to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables by suggesting a unique Dole Whip® recipe

In honor of Dole Whip® Day on July 20, the produce leader is unveiling eight new fresh-ingredient DIY Dole Whip® recipes to bring the total number of Dole-created Dole Whips® that can be made at home to 13. Melanie Marcus, RD, MA, Dole’s nutrition and health communications manager, and her team matched Dole Whips® to the personality traits of the astrology signs for fun and to inspire more Americans to whip-up the iconic frozen treat at home.

 “From Leos seeking bold flavors to Geminis needing something new to Capricorns looking for the tried and true, there’s a new or classic Dole Whip® for every sign – and every Dole Whip® fan,” said Marcus.

Here are Marcus’ 12 Dole Whip®® signs of the Zodiac.  For more info plus Dole Whip®-related activities, videos, downloads and other fun, go to the Dole Whip® Wonderland Page.
