'Yum Actually' Makes Kid-Pleasing Flavors Like Caramel Sweet Potato

— August 13, 2019 — Lifestyle
Yum Actually mashes up simple fruit and vegetable ingredients to form naturally creamy frozen treats that both kids and parents will appreciate. The brand got its start when Nicole, a New York City-based mother of three, began experimenting with fruit- and veggie-based desserts and having her kids declare: "It's yum actually!"

Yum Actually makes healthy yet indulgent flavors like Creamy Honey Banana, Caramel Sweet Potato, Yummy Mango and Butternut Squash Butterscotch, where a fruit or a vegetable is always the primary ingredient. The fruit and vegetable frozen dairy treats are sold in portable three-ounce cups and boxes of four.

These nourishing treats set themselves apart from other kinds of fruit-flavored ice cream on the market, many of which are made with just a small portion of fruit puree or flavoring, or are high in added sugar.
