The hot summer sun will be here before we know it and that means our kids will be outside more, playing with friends and going on adventure. Aside from keeping them slathered in sunscreen and properly hydrated, parents should also make up some fun games and activities, as well as some icy cold treats to help them cool off.

With that in Mind, we are Going to Share some of our Favourite kids ice Lolly Recipes for Summer:

Sunshine Lollies

Ingredients:

  • 5 large carrots
  • juice of 3 large oranges, zest of 1
  • 1 satsuma, peeled then chopped

Method:

  • Finely grate the carrots and place in the middle of a clean tea towel.
  • Gather up the towel, and squeeze the carrot juice into a jug, discarding the pulp.
  • Add the orange juice and top up with a little cold water if needed to make up 360ml liquid.
  • Stir in the orange zest and satsuma pieces, if using.
  • Pour into lolly moulds and freeze overnight.

Frozen Banana Lollies

  • 200g dark chocolate

Method:

  • Peel the bananas and trim off the very ends if you’d like them neater. Then chop them each into 4 equal-sized chunks.
  • Thread a strawberry onto each lolly stick first, then push on the pieces of banana.
  • When all your banana pops are made lay them on a baking tray and put in the freezer, uncovered, for 1 hr.
  • Put the yogurt into a tall glass or jug then dip each banana pop into the yogurt to coat (avoiding the strawberries), then place back onto the tray to refreeze until set.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second bursts (stirring after each blast) then pour into a mug.
  • Dip the end piece of each banana pop in the chocolate then sprinkle over the hundreds and thousands.
