Homemade Fruity Ice Lollies

Summer is finally here, hooray!!! So of course the kids like nothing better than eating lots of ice cream to cool them down. I've already shared a couple of recipes which are healthier alternatives such as my frozen yogurt but when I spotted the below ice lolly moulds in Tiger a couple of weeks ago I felt the need to come up with some healthier calypo like recipes.

Nutty banana ice lollies

4 x bananas
2 tbsp peanut butter (or other nut butter of your choosing)
1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)

Mix all of these ingredients up in a blender, I used my trusty Nutribullet and the pour the mixture into the ice lolly moulds, making sure to leave a gap at the top for expansion. This will make around 4 ice lollies. Then pop into the freezer for atleast 4 hours.

When ready these lollies will have more of an ice cream texture, they are fab for pre or post workouts too.


Refreshingly minty watermelon ice lollies

1/2 of a watermelon
2 sprigs of mint

Simply blend them all up, I kept the seeds in there too. Again pour into the moulds and pop in the freezer for a few hours. This mixture is a lot more watery so will make more ice lollies than the previous recipe, I would say you'll get around 6 ice lollies.

Now because of its watery consistency these come out more like the calypos we know and love, a refreshing snack packed full of goodness.

Of course you can put pretty much any ingredients you like into your ice lollies, what flavour would you go for??
