Parents will love that they are made with simple, all-natural ingredients, looking to address the void in the market for no-sugar added frozen treats made without artificial substitutes. Kids also love Chloe’s Oatmilk Pops in the non-dairy frozen novelty space and the three new varieties of their Oatmilk Pops – especially the Cookies and Cream. They won’t be able to get enough of these fun frozen treats!

Parents will love that it is non-dairy and gluten free. Kids will love all four of the yummy, new pudding flavors, including chocolate, banana, cocoa-hazelnut and vanilla. The GoGo squeeze AlmondBlend pudding has an admirable nutrition profile while still being a tasty snack that will delight kids and leave families feeling good about their snack choice. Parents will also love that the innovative pudding has 5 grams of protein per serving, 30% less sugar compared to traditional dairy pudding, and requires no refrigeration.
