Recipe : Fresh and Fruity Natural Ice Blocks

03/07/2020 by Foodie Lass Leave a Comment

Summer Delights – Fresh and Fruity, natural ice-blocks

Create your own fresh and fruity ice blocks with all-natural ingredients. Ideal to freeze and a great treat to serve on a lovely, hot summer day at the end of a barbecue or an outdoor garden get together.

The recipe below is so easy and simple to make with lots of lovely natural flavours and gives you a real health boost – with the added bonus of being a healthy food that kids will love!

Fruit is always a good way to introduce healthy nutrients into to your diet, especially for children. Oranges are a great source of Vitamin C, bananas are an excellent energy booster and almond milk is packed with immunity-boosting Vitamin E! And mint herbs add such a huge variety of flavours to your ice blocks: applemint, spearmint, chocolate mint, peppermint…..
