Superfood Popsicle Health Benefits
Antioxidants!
ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a measure of the antioxidant level foods and supplements. Antioxidants are substances that help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress and damage organ health or function.
The Recommended Daily ORAC intake is not officially established and every individual's health needs are different. With a healthy balanced diet you may easily eat between 5,000 to 10,000 ORAC a day.
You shouldn't target a specific ORAC value, but rather eat a diet full of diverse fruits, vegetables, fibers, proteins, and fats. If your diet lacks freshness, diversity, creativity, or includes processed foods, you may benefit from antioxidant supplements.
These popsicles use our Earthy Andy Superfood Paradise, made with 30 different fruits, vegetables, and botanicals. It has the same phytonutrients as 8 servings of fruits and vegetables. Within these foods are diverse antioxidants including Vitamins, Carotenoids, Flavonoids, Polyphenols, and more.

Inulin, Spirulina, Aloe, and Astaxanthin!
Inulin is a prebiotic dietary fiber that may support the good bacteria in your microbiome, aiding in digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall digestive well-being.
Spirulina is a nutrient-dense blue-green algae containing all essential amino acids, may support healthy inflammatory responses, and may even promote detoxification by binding to heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury.
Aloe vera is a versatile plant with 75+ active compounds that may support healthy hair, skin, and nails, promote healthy inflamatory responses, and may even aid digestive and immune system health.
Astaxanthin, a powerful pigment may help support healthy inflammatory responses, while promoting skin and eye health against UV damage, and may even support heart and brain health by improving blood vessels and blood flow.
Papaya, Pineapple, Acai Berry, and Dragon Fruit!
Tropical fruits have digestive enzymes like papain and bromelain which may support protein digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, and promote overall digestive health.
They may also contain vitamins and minerals that may support a healthy immune system and promote natural energy.
Perhaps most importantly, these tropical fruits taste delicious! They give these popsicles a subtle fruit flavor that the whole family will love.
