As you probably know, we both have a soft spot for icecream. Any chance that we get, we make sure we have a batch of icy poles ready in the freezer to prevent any big icecream binges.
Making your own Icypoles on milk means they are much much lower in fat than a shop bought icecream, contain real fruit and you can control the sugar.
We make a big batch of smoothie to drink, then freeze the rest in icypole moulds. You could simply freeze in one big container and then blend to make a delicious frappe.
Adding chia seeds ensures you get an extra little hit of fibre, protein, iron and omega oils
Recipe
- 3-4 bananas (over ripe is even better)
- 2 cups milk (cow, oat, soy, almond, goat etc)
- 2 tbsp honey (optional)
- Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Blend all ingredients except the chia together
When smooth, stir the chia through the smoothie mix
Pour into icypole moulds to freeze.
