Smooze Simply Coconut Fruit Ice 65 ml (Pack of 6)

Product Information

Some of the medium chain fatty acids in coconut milk are identical to those found in human breast milk – they are highly nutritious I understand why these are popular. Their in a plastic tube that kids lovely and the real fruit juice means they’re an obviously healthier choice over Zooper Doopers. Blending whole fruit for home made icy poles means you get all the fibre from the fruit too so the sugars are truly natural (in their natural form) and won’t contribute to your added sugar allowance. Every year we see more and more products claiming to be healthy on the supermarket shelves. Icy poles are no exception! Finding which icy poles (or any food for that matter) is actually a good choice isn’t as simple as finding the one with the lowest kilojoules (calories). We also need to consider the other ingredients (sugars, additives etc) and the amount of whole food ingredients; as these are the ones that give us nutrients!

The zesty-fresh flavours of pineapple tempered by the tropical creaminess of coconut milk make this a crowd favouriteWhen assessing how healthy something is, I can’t help but take away points for a product that is on the ‘health food’ bandwagon and claims to be healthy when it doesn’t have anything good to offer. Sugar Freezies get the wooden spoon award from me. Smooze makes a healthy, deliciously-refreshing, anytime treat for adults and children alike; after yoga, gym, work or school, after dinner, reading a book, watching TV, by the pool, at a BBQ, or anytime you feel like a guilt-free, dairy-free, nutritious refreshment.

While Frosty Fruits promote the fact they’re made with real fruit juice, they’re not just fruit juice. They’re a 50/50 mix of fruit juice and sugar water. Ingredients: 47% pink guava juice (from puree), 40% coconut milk, 13% other ingredients (natural cane sugar, fruit pectin, citric acid, natural flavors, ascorbic acid).Pineapple and coconut milk just work so well together. If you’ve tried a Pina Colada, you’ll know what I mean I am sure that no-one is in denial that zooper doopers are a healthy choice. I thought I’d include them here for comparison sake. A zooper dooper icy pole is just flavoured sugar water. A single zooper dooper has 2 1/2 vteaspoons of sugar and no fruit or other nutrients. We shouldn’t be having any more than 6 teaspoons of added sugar a day (and non for under 2s) so one of these sweet treats is going to mean you need to be really careful with your intake for the rest of the day.
