Notes
Here’s two recipes that kids are sure to love – mango and passionfruit yoghurt pops and berry cooler fruit pops. Both are gluten-free and refined-sugar free, unlike most store-bought versions! You can buy ice block moulds at most kitchen shops, I find them so useful for whipping up a quick, easy to eat Summer treat. However you can just use plastic cups as moulds. Kids could have lots of fun in the kitchen experimenting with flavours, just use the recipes below as guidelines!
