Nothing is more refreshing than a delicious and fruity ice pop on a hot day. However, the store-bought versions of these frozen delights can be loaded with sugar and lack nutrients, like protein. They really don’t live up to their healthy potential, and as a result, we end up being hungry and craving another snack soon after.
The recipe we’ve got for you this week is the snack that every ice pop should be. Brought to you in collaboration with blogger, recipe developer and food photographer Jojo Boisvert—also known as jojodanslefrigo— this treat is loaded with real fruit, protein and even fiber! It’s basically version 2.0 of what you find in grocery stores, with a creamy mouth-watering fruity flavour and healthy ingredients perfect to cool you off and give you energy.
With the Lolly Ice Pop Set, making a healthy version of this sweet summer classic is a no-brainer! It’s easy, economical and allows you to be creative. Plus, you can make your ice pops with the fruits you already have on hand! Let Jojo show you how to beat the summer heat with her healthy recipe bursting with exotic flavours that adults and kids will love. That’s right, a healthy dessert-on-a-stick, need we say more?
So don’t delay, make this frozen favourite for the next time you want to nibble on something cool and sweet!
