Vegan Kind snaps up Pukpip Dark Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas
The frozen snacking brand Pukpip has announced its Real Frozen Bananas Dipped in Dark Chocolate are now listed with online retailer, Vegan Kind.
Pukpip’s aim is to challenge the traditional ice cream category by tapping into the rise of “permissible yet indulgent frozen fruit snacks”.
“Pukpip’s Real Frozen Bananas Dipped in Chocolate combine real fruit and chocolate. No added stuff, just simple and delicious, so consumers can feel good about treating themselves,” explains Zara Gugen, managing director at Pukpip.
The online plant-based supermarket, Vegan Kind has added Pukpip’s Vegan Certified Dark Chocolate Dipped Bananas to its ice cream section.
Breaking the mould for frozen treats, Pukpip’s frozen bananas are a category first for UK retail, following sister brand Diana’s strong growth in the USA. Adapted in taste for the UK market, Pukpip’s Frozen Bananas Dipped in Chocolate, were a standout product at the 2023 International Food and Drink Event.
Zara adds: “We are so excited to secure our first online listing with Vegan Kind, with our Dark Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas. We sampled more than 4,000 chocolate dipped bananas at this year’s IFE and were blown away by the positive feedback from everyone, demonstrating the appetite for innovative, real fruit indulgence!”
Pukpip’s bananas are responsibly sourced and freshly frozen from the coastal region of Ecuador. Using bananas rejected from export due to small imperfections on their skin, because they’re the wrong shape or size, or simply because there are too many on a bunch; Pukpip rescues these bananas that would otherwise go to waste, helping them find their true calling as tasty, chocolate-covered treats. The banana peels are then upcycled back into the ecosystem.
Pukpip Real Frozen Bananas are only 152-161 calories each and are great as a snack, treat or dessert. The Milk Chocolate Dipped Bananas have picked up a 2022 Great Taste Award. Currently available to retail in milk chocolate and dark chocolate, in multipacks of 3 at RRP of £3.99
