There are lots of possibilities: pack them full of your favourite fruits, or make them creamier with the addition of coconut milk. Or if you’re feeling a little bit devilish, why not pop some alcohol into them for an adults-only treat at the end of a hot summer’s day?
All you'll need is a popsicle mould, some sticks, and a big fruit bowl. The hardest part will be having to choose from these 16 deliciously healthy ice lolly recipes!
1. Jamie Oliver’s Breakfast Lollies
This recipe from Jamie Oliver is pretty enough for parties but healthy enough for breakfast on the hottest of days.
All you need is 1 large banana, or 2 small bananas, 300 g frozen mixed berries, 50 g porridge oats, 400 ml pure organic apple juice, and if you like them a bit sweet, some honey. Blend all until smooth, pour in the moulds and let freeze for at least 2 hours. Want to add a decadent touch? Melt 200g of quality white chocolate in a microwavable bowl. Swirl the frozen lollies around in the melted chocolate and wait a few minutes to let each lolly set. Serve immediately. Makes 12.
