A new ice block company offering vegan and Paleo options has launched in time for Australia's summer.

Paloma Pops is a new range of real fruit ice pops with no added sugar or preservatives.

The handcrafted ice blocks are also certified gluten-free.

Pleased to offer vegan and Paleo options, the company makes the products locally using Australian produce.

Founder Karen Lavecky saw a gap in the market for healthy alternatives to traditional ice pops, and was inspired to create a product she'd be happy to give her young daughter, whom the pops are named after.

Paloma Pops varieties include Apple Passion, Watermelon Lemonade, Strawberries & Cream, and Iced Coconut Cream, with new flavours to be announced soon.

Each ice pop contains real fruit that has been juiced, crushed and blended, according to Lavecky.

Paloma Pops are sold in gourmet food stores, local fruit markets, and independent grocers such as IGA.
