At this year's Natural Products Expo West, Chill Pop's fruit pop product line was identified as a finalist for the NEXTY Awards in the Best New Sweet or Dessert category—with products like the 'Avocado Mint Chip' offering a better-for-you alternative to indulgent classics like mint chocolate chip flavors.
The healthy popsicle treat boasts a creamy texture, as avocado is the first ingredient in the frozen treat, followed by filtered water, coconut milk and others like cocoa butter, dark chocolate chips, lime juice and mint leaves.
Some of the other better-for-you popsicles offered by Chill Pop include flavors that are just as interesting, such as Lemon Ricotta, Black Pepper Plum and Blueberry Basil. As well as being desirable for their high fruit content, the frozen treats will also be appealing to those who are looking for refreshing soy-free, gluten-free, vegan and non-GMO treats.
