Healthy, sneaky, frozen fruit icepops.
Where has the sun gone?!! Come back, come back! I love you and need you!
I don’t know about you but I am loving the hot weather that we have been having on and off recently. For both myself and my little man, its an excuse to cool down with an ice cream or ice lolly. Like most parents though, I do worry about the amount of sugar that my son consumes. So, I decided to make my own sugar free ice pops.
You can use lots of different soft flesh fruits such as peaches, mango, kiwi etc but my little man will not eat berries in their natural form! I make smoothies using berries and spinach but decided they would be the fruit I used for the ice pops.
One mistake that I made was not blending the mixture for long enough or not sieving it as the seeds were a bit crunchy and affected the texture of the pop.
What you will need:
Honey, natural or flavoured yogurt, a ripe avocado, fruit of your choice.
Ice pop moulds (mine are from Wilko’s), measuring cups, hand blender or kitchen top blender, knife, spoons and chopping board.
Take a cup of raspberry’s , a cup of blueberry’s and blend.
Add half an avocado and blend
add a quarter cup of yogurt and then a teaspoon (or more to taste) of honey.
Blend, pour into your moulds and freeze overnight! Enjoy the leftovers with a spoon or add a bit of milk to turn it into a smoothie!
That’s it. Super simple, tasty and sneakily healthy, full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats.
I hope you enjoy,
Love
This looks yummy and healthy too! I like the way you show pics on how its done. I will definitely give it a try at some point!
Thank you. I wasn’t sure if I was showing too many steps but I know there are so many people that aren’t confident in the kitchen x
Ooh these look fab, will have to make them with Oliver 🙂

I hope they work out ok. They’re obviously not as sweet as bought ones but we like them!
So I can blame you that the sun has gone in! We love avocado ion our ice lollies. Try kiwi and advo
I think you maybe can! Ooops! It’s so not fair. I love the sound of kiwi and avocado and will definitely try that. Thanks!
This is such a great idea to get fruit into the littles. I love the addition of yogurt and honey too – sweet and creamy! Thanks for linking up to #RecipeRoundup x
These look great, refreshing and healthy, too #RecipeRoundUp
Some great ideas there. Can’t beat a home made ice lolly…so many choices! Thanks for linking up to #reciperoundup
Thank you. I realised that I had no commented on other posts but just have now x
Sounds tasty and a good way to eat more fruit. Not so sure about the avocado though? Can you taste It? I have been having lots of fruit smoothie, these would be a nice change.
