Oppo Brothers has introduced a new range of low-calorie, vegan ice cream sticks under the name Oppo Refreshed.
The product claims to combine the creaminess of ice cream with the fruit-based refreshment of sorbet. The sticks contain 49 calories each and are Nutriscore A-rated. Each variety is made with a high fruit content that is said to be double that of the nearest competitor.
The full range includes three flavours: Sicilian Lemon & Strawberry, Alphonso Mango & Passionfruit, and Raspberry Coulis Swirl.
Harry Thuillier, Oppo’s founder, commented: “So far, ice cream treats have either been refreshing or indulgent. Water ices are great, but don’t cut it when you’re looking to treat yourself. Chocolate-covered sticks deliver on the indulgence but lack refreshment. We’ve smashed both sides of the category together to deliver a totally new experience.
“With summers getting hotter, finally here’s a treat that’s both refreshing and indulgent, and happens to have fewer calories too.”
Oppo Refreshed is currently rolling out via Ocado, Booths and Amazon Fresh.
