100 Healthy Raw Snacks and Treats
Try this refreshing selection for healthy recipes for snacks :
Iced lollies or healthy frozen snacks
You will need some ice block molds - the plastic kind with sticks attached that fit into the holder. I wish now I had bought two more so they can be setting while we munch……
Fill ice block holders with lemonade (wait until is stops fizzing before you insert the sticks or you will have very aerated ice blocks like we did the first time - really we like home made or ginger beer is good.
100 Easy and Healthy Snacks and Treats
Any type of fruit juice will be tasty - apple, peach, pear, but pineapple is very refreshing and passionfruit is scrummy added to almost any juice - or juice your own fruit and pour into the moulds to set. If you are in a huge rush to cool down use fruit juice from the supermarket but fresh always tastes best. We have found a delicious and natural juice that is thick and packed with real fruit in a Tropical Nectar that is almost as good as fresh squeezed.
