With warmer weather approaching, we’re always looking for refreshing treats to help cool down! This week we’re reviewing the new Peters Frosty Fruits Mango Sorbet Sticks. They’re a fruity, low-calorie frozen treat that would be a great addition to your freezer this summer!
Nutritional Claims on the Packaging
- Made with real fruit juice
- No artifical colours or flavours
- Gluten free
- Only 56 calories per serve
Nutrition Label
Each 65g stick contains:
- Energy: 230kJ (about 55-56 calories), making it a very low-calorie option compared to most traditional ice creams
- Carbohydrates: 13.1g per serve
- Sugars: 11.1g per serve
- Fat: Less than 1g per serve
- Protein: Less than 1g per serve
- Sodium: Less than 5mg per serve
The standout here is definitely the low energy content. With each stick containing just 56 calories this is a great option for someone looking for a lighter frozen treat.
Ingredients List
Water, Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Mango Puree (4.5%), Reconstituted Passionfruit Juice (1.8%), Inulin, Flavours, Vegetable Gums (410, 412), Colour (160a), Food Acids (330, 300), Black Carrot Juice Concentrate.
Something else we love about this product is that the ingredients list is short and has minimal ingredients. Fruity flavours, with added fibre and no emulsifiers, a win win. When choosing an ice cream, the water based options are great for kids as they are hydrating and often with basic flavours kids enjoy. These are also good for adults wanting to share an after dinner snack with the kids.
These are definitely not a protein rich snack, but for the purpose of a cold, refreshing healthy ice block, these are a winner.
Our Verdict?
This is a great addition to the freezer as we head into the warmer months. With 56 calories per stick and a relatively simple ingredients list, these are a great option for you (and your family) if you’re looking for a refreshing, light, and fruity frozen treat!
