These refreshing, fruity popsicles are the perfect spring and summer treat. Creamy coconut and tasty strawberries come together in the perfect pairing.

Coconut milk is a great source of healthy fats and will keep you feeling satisifed.^1,2 We’ve combined whole strawberries with our PhytoBerry® to increase the nutritional benefits. PhytoBerry® is a highly concentrated berry based whole food supplement loaded with natural antioxidants. A single serving has the equivalent nutrient content of 6 to 8 servings of fresh fruit.

We’ve used honey as a natural sweetener and to add even more natural antioxidants.³

Try these popsicles for a fruity, nostalgic treat!
