If you’re looking for a tasty treat that really is guilt-free, we have good news. Introducing Co Fro, the newest dairy-free frozen dessert. This month, London Paleo Girl (londonpaleogirl.com), in partnership with Planet Organic and Unoco coconut water, launches Co Fro, a coconut-based frozen yoghurt. This product is 100% paleo, making it suitable for vegans too. A naked serving contains a mere 161 calories – that means we can eat as much of it as we like, right?

London Paleo Girl, Tessa Seward discovered the paleo diet after she was diagnosed with Glandular Fever and mild ME during her final year at university. She claims this lifestyle change has drastically improved her wellbeing, saying ‘Over the last year I cannot believe how much my life has changed. I am more focused and alert, less bloated and sluggish and have energy to do everything I want to do, and best of all my immune system is stronger than ever.’ She lives by the ’70:30’ principle, eating paleo foods as the majority of her diet. Tessa created this gorgeous coconut concoction to offer a sweet treat that those with special dietary requirements could enjoy along with everyone else.

So, what’s in it?

Made from coconut milk yogurt with a fruit juice concentrate, it’s free from refined sugars and contains only ‘good fats’, or medium-chain fatty acids. In other words, these fats don’t get stored away to add bodyweight, instead they are sent straight to your liver to be converted into energy. It’s also free from gluten and soy, and has a lovely soft-serve, creamy texture; somewhere between sorbet and ice cream.

Where can I get some?

Co Fro is available exclusively at the Frae Organic Frozen Yogurt store in Notting Hill Gate, London. Naked servings are priced at £3.95, with specially selected topping options at £4.95. Choose from paleo chocolate drops and organic caramel apple toppings. Or, if you’re feeling naughty, there are also Oreos, smarties and other sweets available to top your Co Fro. Head down to Frae’s to grab a loving spoonful of this delicious frozen treat before it’s all gone!
