The line is described as naturally healthy, dairy-free, and fun to eat.

"We developed Jolly Llama to be a healthier alternative to high-fat ice cream and highly-sugared popsicles," said Jolly Llama President Scott Jacobson. "They not only taste good, they're also all natural, low in calories, and a good source of fiber, so everyone can feel great about enjoying them."
