AriZona releases new low-calorie ice pops in three fruity flavors
Beverage brand AriZona, who are best known for their iced tea, have just launched a brand new range of fruity ice pops.
The summer snacks were announced in late 2023 and set for release in 2024. Now, they’ve finally been spotted in stores this week.
AriZona releases Ice Pops
The brand new ice pops come in three different flavors, Mucho Mango, Watermelon and Fruit Punch, which are their top-selling juices. Like the AriZona drinks, they are natural with no fake colors, flavors or sweeteners.
They were announced at the 2023 National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA) Convention in October 2023, and are now rolling out nationwide in March 2024. You’ll find them at all grocery stores that usually sell AriZona products, and a four-pack has a recommended retail price of $4.99.
Each 2.5 oz ice pop comes on a wooden stick and contains just 50 calories, making it a scrumptious yet healthy snack to enjoy in the summer months. They also contain no dairy.
“We revolutionized the beverage space when we launched the $0.99 can 30 years ago. Similarly, we want to revolutionize the frozen novelty space,” said Don Vultaggio, Founder and Chairman of Arizona Beverage Company.
“When we looked at frozen novelties, we saw how most products cost over $5.00 a box and still use some combination of artificial flavors, artificial colors and/or artificial sweeteners. We said we could do it better we can take our natural ingredient juices and offer them in pop form for under $5.00.”
The reviews are in
People have been trying the new ice pops on TikTok, and the fruity frozen snacks are already going down really well.
“Damn, yeah it’s pretty good,” one person said about the Watermelon option. “I mean as far as low calorie ice cream bars go or ice pops, it’s pretty good.”
He said it’s mostly ice with a faint “hint of watermelon” and doesn’t have a particularly strong flavor, but it’s great for the price.
Someone else tried the Mucho Mango and said: “It definitely tastes like the Mucho Mango AriZona. I’ve had it plenty of times.”
He agreed that the flavor isn’t overly strong, but “it’s good” for a low-calorie option and the size is really great – rating it a 7/10.
If you’re looking for a low-calorie sweet treat to enjoy this summer, these could be right up your street.
