King of Pops teamed up with Natalie's Orchid Island Juice Company to create Sweet Greens pops, better-for-you popsicles made with Natalie's 100% Pineapple Celery Kale Zinc Juice. Free from added sugar, artificial ingredients, preservatives, GMOs, and made without concentrate, these pops blend a popular, clean-label juice into a delicious cooling treat.
As temperatures rise, people crave refreshing ways to beat the heat without compromising their health goals. The new Sweet Greens pops appeal to fans of the original juice, parents who want to treat their kids to something other than sugary frozen novelties, and newcomers to the healthful flavor who are after delicious yet nutritious treats that satisfy cravings while supporting a balanced lifestyle.
Now, Sweet Greens pops are featured on King of Pops carts and can be found in select retail outlets.
