Our take

CleanPlate review

Milk and coconut pulp, with 8 g saturated fat

Naturals Tender Coconut Ice Cream is a 500 g tub of two ingredients, milk and sweetened tender coconut pulp (25%). The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it EA3. The E for nutrition is low: only 6 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by milk and sweetened tender coconut pulp), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (8 g per 100 g) and free sugar (10 g per 100 g).
