Girlawhirl's always on the lookout for a refreshing treat to cool her down as the mercury rises. While ice cream is her favorite, it's certainly not a daily indulgence, leaving Girlawhirl to seek out alternative options that won't do a number on her figure the way a nightly sundae can. She's already hooked on the wonders of coconut milk frozen desserts and frozen fruit bars, but now there's a new tea-based treat in town sure to tickle her taste buds, all for less than 50 calories… Frosteas™ and Frostbites™, by Wise Acre® are the perfect answer to Girlawhirl's constant summertime cravings for an icy treat. They remind her of childhood popsicles but these are decidedly less sugary. Sweetened with only honey or organic maple syrup, these tea-based treats are antioxidant rich and come in five fabulous flavors. And, in addition to being only 40 to 50 calories, these organic frozen desserts are gluten and fat free. Nutritional Consultant Melissa Spiesman appreciates not just the truly genuine flavor of the honey and maple, but also the convenient grab and go packaging, and the fact that with so many flavors available there's something to satisfy everyone.
So whether Girlawhirl's in the mood for the Maine Maple Lemon™ and Honey Love™ Frostbites, or the Cool Your Jets™ – featuring soothing organic chamomile tea and wild Maine honey – Jasmine Green Tea Delight™ or Yerba Maté™ Frostea varieties, she feels no guilt reaching for these tasty frozen teas.
And they even work great as the ice cube for a vodka or gin drink. That's a treat Girlawhirl can lift a glass to.
Frostbites and Frosteas are making their way around the U.S. They're currently available in Wegmans stores with natural food sections and all of Hannaford's Nature's Place sections. Whole Food stores from Maine to Florida are beginning to stock them as well. One flavor, the Honey Love, is available online. For updated information on distribution check wise-acre.com
