Trader Joe's is making sure that consumers are ready for the hot summer days head with its new Strawberry Lemonade Ice Bars.
When the grocery store brand set out to make a new popsicle, the goal was to find a new way to offer the delicious and refreshing taste of Italian ice. To do this, Trader Joe's worked with a supplier in Italy – the same one responsible for Trader Joe's popular Out of This World Ice Pops – to create a frozen version of Italian ice. The result is a lightly sweet treat made from real strawberry purée, lemon juice concentrate, and other natural flavors. Trader Joe's also relies on fruit and veggie juices to give the bars their pretty pink color palette. But perhaps best of all, the bars are sold frozen so you can break them out any time you start to break a sweat.
