Healthy can be fun: How schools are rethinking tuckshop treats

Across Australia, school canteens are rethinking what “tuckshop treats” look like including swapping high-sugar snacks for fruit-based options that kids actually love. With frameworks like Smart Choices (QLD) and Healthy School Canteens (NSW) setting clearer standards, more schools are choosing real-fruit, allergy-friendly snacks that tick the health box and the fun box. Frozen fruit iceblocks are becoming the easiest win: colourful, portion-controlled, low in added sugar, and perfect for busy canteen teams. The result? Happier parents, healthier menus, and snacks that still feel like treats.

Behind the flavour: real fruit, real fun, real sunshine

Frozen Sunshine iceblocks start with one simple rule: real ingredients make the best treats. Every flavour begins with fresh Australian fruit, creamy coconut milk, and natural ingredients — blended by hand in small batches on the Sunshine Coast. No syrups, no shortcuts, just real fruit and real fun. From Mango Swirl to Passionfruit Tart, each iceblock has its own personality and story, crafted to taste exactly like the ingredients inside. It’s a slower way to make frozen treats, but it’s how we bring pure summer to every stick — one handmade batch at a time.

What makes an iceblock ‘healthy’? A simple guide for schools and stockists

With so many frozen snacks on the market, it’s no surprise schools and stockists often ask the same question: “Is it healthy?” The good news is that the answer is simpler than it seems. According to national canteen guidelines and state frameworks like Smart Choices (QLD) and Healthy School Canteens (NSW), a healthy iceblock is one made mostly from fruit or water, low in added sugar, portion-controlled, and free from artificial additives. That’s exactly why fruit-based, allergen-friendly options like Frozen Sunshine’s 50mL Middy range fit comfortably in the Green/Amber zone. With real ingredients, simple nutrition, and flavours kids love, healthy frozen snacks can be colourful, craveable, and completely compliant.

Stockists who rock It: How small displays make big sales

Small displays can make a big difference, especially when it comes to selling frozen treats. Some of Frozen Sunshine’s top-performing stockists aren’t supermarkets with aisles of freezers, but tiny cafés, corner stores, and school canteens with just one well-kept chest freezer. When a display looks full, clean, and colourful, customers instantly notice. And when finding a treat feels easy, they’re far more likely to buy. A few simple habits such as better placement, fresh signage, and a quick weekly tidy, can boost sales without any extra marketing spend. It’s proof that with the right display, even the smallest freezer can have serious personality (and big results).
