Snow Monkey recently added a trio of all-new non-GMO, dairy-free ice treats to its flavorful range of superfood desserts. Alongside previously released flavors like Cacao and Goji Berry, the superfood ice treats are now offered in Cinnamon, Matcha and Passion Fruit varieties. These better-for-you frozen desserts boast [fewer calories, sugar, carbs and fat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oppo-refreshed) than leading ice cream brands, yet also pack more protein per serving.

Each [non-dairy frozen dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nondairy-sorbets) spotlight a different superfood ingredient, such as cinnamon, which boasts anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.

As well as being free from a number of undesirable ingredients that are commonly included in ice cream, these superfood desserts are free from eight major allergens.
