Discover the Healthiest and Most Affordable Ice Lollies for the Summer Ahead

As the weather starts to warm up, many of us are reaching for a refreshing ice lolly to cool down. But have you ever stopped to think about how much sugar is in your favorite frozen treat? In this blog post, we’re going to explore how you can drop 80% of the sugar from your next ice lolly, without sacrificing taste or enjoyment.

We’ve enlisted the help of Sunna Van Kampen, founder of Tonic Health, to help us navigate the world of ice lollies and find healthier options that won’t break the bank. Sunna has reviewed various ice lollies and their sugar content, and the results may surprise you.

When comparing popular ice lolly brands, such as Del Monte, Calippo, Rowntree’s, Fab, Twister, Mini Milk, and Little Jude’s, it’s clear that some options are much lower in sugar than others. For example, swapping out a high-sugar option like Calippo for a lower-sugar option like Mini Milk or Little Jude’s can result in an 80% reduction in sugar content per lolly.

Not only will you be cutting back on sugar, but you’ll also be making a healthier choice overall. Portion control is key when it comes to enjoying sweet treats, and opting for a lower-sugar ice lolly can help you satisfy your cravings without overindulging.

In addition to reducing sugar intake, choosing ice lollies with healthier ingredients, such as milk-based options like Mini Milk and Little Jude’s, can provide added nutritional benefits like protein, calcium, and iodine. For those with dietary restrictions, homemade fruit smoothie lollies or 100% juice lollies can be great alternatives.

By making small swaps in your ice lolly choices, you can make a big impact on your overall sugar intake and health. So next time you reach for a frozen treat, consider opting for a lower-sugar option and enjoy a refreshing treat guilt-free.
