Frozzies are innovative healthy popsicles that end the daily battle over ice cream. As a parent, I know the routine all too well—kids begging for sweets every day, especially in summer. An ice cream treat shouldn't mean a sugar overload, but my sweet-toothed kids crave the sweetest options, which often leads to hyperactive chaos.
They barely finish half a sandwich at lunch but devour a pack of cookies in minutes. Sound familiar? Limiting sugar is tough, especially with hidden sugars in everyday foods. We've shared tips on cutting sugar before, noting how supermarket products make it challenging. Healthier alternatives are emerging, but taste is key. Enter Frozzies—I tested these new popsicles on my sugar-loving crew.

Did you know kids consume sugar equal to their body weight yearly? Not just from candy—spaghetti sauce, low-fat yogurt, and fruit juice pack it in too. Check our article on what drinking cartons do to kids' health. Whenever I spot low-sugar options like Frozzies—with no added sugars and nutrient-rich ingredients—I jump on them.
The thought of sugar mountains gives me chills, but balance is key. Kids' friends snack too, and occasional treats are fine—I'm no saint (chocolate tempts me daily!). Homemade popsicles work, but for convenience, Frozzies deliver as the new healthy choice.
Carrot, parsnip, and broccoli aren't typical ice cream flavors, yet they're stars in Frozzies, available at Albert Heijn. Two flavors:
No added sugars, packed with fiber, gluten-free, with no preservatives or artificial colors and flavors. As they say: the ultimate guilt-free pleasure.

Beyond calories, no sugar crash here. Note: they include fruit sugars from real fruit or concentrate—healthier than refined. Veggies like broccoli? Undetectable in taste, even to my kids! Frozzies aren't a full fruit/veggie serving replacement—keep battling those meals.

My kids prefer the carrot version. One found broccoli 'unappealing,' the other 'meh,' but I love it best. Tastes vary! Find Frozzies at Albert Heijn or learn more on their site for 100% freshly squeezed fruit and veggie ice creams. Near Schijndel? Visit to taste one.
