LifeIce is a company that's putting a more flavorful spin on ice chips. Ice cubes made with water don't provide any nutritional benefits, although when they are sucked on or chewed, they offer a way to cool and hydrate the body. LifeIce's products are like a hybrid of an ice cube and a [fruity popsicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popoff), offering flavor as well as health benefits.

LifeIce offers flavors like Berry Bite, Chocolate Crisp, Citrus Chomp and Green Grind in small blister packs that are meant to be frozen. When a desire for snacking arises, individual cubes can be popped out and enjoyed instantly or added to enhance a drink.

The all-natural ice chips are made with powerful ingredients sourced from around the world, including [Asian superfruits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchy-superfruit-bites) like yumberry and mangosteen or baobab from Africa. In order to keep nature's finest ingredients as potent as possible, there are no GMOs or preservatives used in these [bite-sized frozen treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benni-pops).
