Smooze is an ambient product with a long shelf life at room temperature, making them cheaper to warehouse, easier to transport, cheaper for shops to stock, cheaper to buy and most conveniently, for you to buy and take home without them melting on the way!
This means that you can also use your freezer space more efficiently by freezing only as many Smooze as you need. But we reckon that with one taste you’ll wonder if there’s any reason why you wouldn’t want as many Smooze Fruit Ice in your freezer as you can fit!
To help you get the most out of your Smooze experience, here’re a few handy pointers:
- Coconut milk has a low freezing point than juice or water so it takes longer to freeze down than fruit juice or cordial-based ice blocks. So depending upon the efficiency of your freezer, you may need to freeze Smooze overnight. Furthermore, our little Smoozes will freeze more quickly if they are taken out of their box before going into your freezer.
- To ensure that the fruit juice and coconut milk mix nicely as they freeze, we recommend a good shake of the Smooze box before putting it in the freezer. This is particularly the case for Pineapple because the lighter pineapple juice can seperate quite easily from the dense coconut milk. We like to call this the 30-second PINEAPPLE PUMP – it’s a top work-out to boot!!
- If frozen Smooze thaw, they can be consumed as a delicious drink – yummo. IF you wish to refreeze them you definitely can – just give them a little massage and shake before you re-freeze them and they’ll be almost as good as their first freezing
