amooliaamoolia: Banana mango in a pretzel cone is the ultimate Summer treat. Pricey but keep in mind.. Pureed fruite, purified water, cane sugar.. not cheap!

Gilt City C.Gilt City Curator: The pretzel cone is fantastic. And for the right combo of sweet and salty, try it with the banana.

BuzzFeedBuzzFeed: Chloe’s just uses fruit, water, and sugar to make its dairy-free soft serve flavors. So yes, it’s technically something you could feel OK about eating for breakfast. Also: pretzel cones!
