Wanting to offer a more nutritious alternative to the cold treats normally consumed in the summer months, the New Zealand-based company Tasman Bay Food Group Ltd. created its 'Juicies' line – ice pops made from healthy ingredients.
The ice pops come in packs of 10 in small plastic wrappers, and are all based in freshly pressed Nelson apples, along with other fruits. Flavors in the collection include tropical, lemonade, orange, and wildberry. The Juicies ice pops are 100% natural, contain few added ingredients, and do not have any added sugar – making them the perfect treat for health-conscious consumers.
Juicies is able to offer a playful yet nutritious alternative to other commonly consumed summer desserts, and can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.
