Lucky dip
Pukpip, a new frozen snacking brand, is on a mission to help
consumers eat more fruit in fun, delicious and convenient ways.
New for 2023, Pukpip has started a range of frozen banana's
dipped in chocolate - milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white
chocolate. The smooth chocolate and creamy ripe frozen
banana is a match made in heaven (if you like bananas). The
Pukpip name is formed from Pukka (Good, Happy, Genuine) and
Pip (from the pips and seeds in the fruit) bringing these names
together to create the fun and playful name.
Pukpip bananas are responsibly sourced from the coastal
region of Ecuador and freshly frozen, locking in their
wholesome goodness. Using bananas rejected from export
due to small imperfections or markings on their skin, because
they're the wrong shape or size, or simply because there are
too many on a bunch, Pukpip upcycle these bananas that would
otherwise go to waste, helping them find their true calling
as tasty, chocolate-covered treats. Once the bananas are
peeled, dipped and safely in the freezer, the leftover skins are
then upcycled back into the ecosystem. The chocolate is also
sustainably sourced and perfectly matched to the UK palette
with the Milk Chocolate having already picked up a 2022 Great
Taste Award, while the Dark Chocolate is Vegan Certified.
Pukpip Real Frozen Bananas are around only 150 calories each
and sell in multipacks of three. RRP £3.99
