This is the first recipe of my healthy inspirations recipe range, so I wanted to start off with something deliciously sweet but good for you too. Homemade ice pops are so easy to make and the flavours can be tailored with different fruits to suit all tastes.
After all the luxurious food and drink I've had over the festive season I've been craving a little goodness in my life, so last night I pulled the blender out from its long winter hibernation and started blending. I've been snacking on crisps and chocolate a little too much over the holidays so I wanted a healthy substitute to snack on if I felt like a sweet treat. These fruit smoothie ice pops are packed full of vitamins and minerals, great to grab on the go and a sweet treat for the whole family.
Ingredients
- 10 sliced strawberries (stalks removed)
- 1 ripe sliced banana
- 1/2 a cup of natural Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons of skimmed milk
- 1 sliced kiwi (for decoration)
- 1 sliced strawberry (for decoration)
Method
1. Slice the fruit and pop it in the blender with the yogurt and milk and mix on high speed for a few minutes.
2. Pour into ice-lolly moulds and fill almost to the top.
3. Carefully push in the sliced strawberry into half of the moulds and the kiwi into the other half.
4. Place the lids on, place into the freezer and leave over night.
(why not substitute the natural Greek yogurt for low fat Greek yogurt if you're dieting)
That's it! A great healthy snack which is great for the whole family x
