Epoca Cool Probiotic Ice Bars Review

Fro-yo girl here. During a recent trip to the Korean market, I spotted Epoca Cool Probiotic Ice Bars. Each box has 6 ice bars. Cool ice bars are available in three flavors: Peach, Original and Strawberry.

Epoca was founded by a Korean, Jun Lee, and manufactures flavored milk, probiotic beverages, cultured dairy drinks and smoothies in California. 

Cool ice bars were inspired by Korean kids who “liked to freeze a probiotic beverage in their home freezers and lick out the product.” The bars are made with the same formula as Epoca’s probiotic beverages and include live and active cultures. One bar is 90 calories and the main ingredients are: filtered water, high fructose corn syrup, cream, and nonfat dry milk.

I tried the Original flavor. The popsicle was firm and icy but not very hard/solid. The flavor is similar to Yakult but not as sweet as Yakult. I did like that it was refreshing and tangy but it was more sweet than tangy and somewhat bland. I found a box of Cool for $3.99 at Kukje.

3 out of 5 stars

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
