Cool down this summer with some healthy fruit or yoghurt icy poles (or popsicles!) that are big on fruit and big on flavour! Containing only good ingredients with no nasty additives, they are perfect for young kids… and grown ups too! Choose from two varieties below, or easily adapt the recipe to add your favourite summer fruits.

It is hot in our house at the moment. So hot. Healthy fruit icy poles are a must!

 

Summer is here and the days are getting warmer. It’s the perfect weather for icy poles!

 

As the temperature rises, it can be so tempting to grab a packet of colourful icy poles to keep in the freezer. But, you might like to avoid the artificial colours, flavours and preservatives that are found in packaged icy poles. If so, try my healthier alternatives here. They can be made ahead of time and kept in the freezer for those hot, sticky days where an icy pole is just what you need.

 

Below are two different recipes- healthy yoghurt icy poles and fruit icy poles. They are so fast and easy to make, so I usually blend up a batch of both. The bonus is, your kids will love them and with the fruit icy poles, they’re basically just having an icy serving of fruit! They also make a great, healthy treat for kids parties.

 

The recipes below can be altered to suit most types of fruit you have on hand.

 

You can also pick up some eco friendly, reusable icy pole bags here.

Ingredients  

For yoghurt icy poles

  • 2 cups Greek yoghurt
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup caster sugar can also be used
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract or paste
  • 5 passion fruits
  • 1 cup mixed berries fresh or frozen. Choose your favourite!

For the fruit icy poles

  • 4 cups chopped watermelon
  • 1 ½ cups mixed berries fresh or frozen. Choose your favourite!
  • 2 cups crushed pineapple

Instructions

For the yoghurt icy poles

  • Prepare some icy pole/popsicle moulds by setting them on the bench. Make sure that you have room in your freezer before you start!
  • Mix the yoghurt, sugar (or maple syrup) and vanilla together until the sugar has dissolved. Halve the mixture and add it to two separate bowls.
  • Add the passion fruit pulp to one bowl containing yoghurt mixture and stir to combine.
  • For the other half, puree the berries in a food processor. Add the berry mix into the other yoghurt bowl. Stir, but don’t mix completely to create a swirl effect.
  • Pour the separate bowls into different icy pole moulds and place into the freezer overnight, or until frozen.

For the fruit icy poles

  • Prepare some icy pole/popsicle moulds by setting them on the bench. Make sure that you have room in your freezer before you start!
  • Use a blender to blend all ingredients together until smooth. Pour into icy pole moulds and place into the freezer overnight, or until frozen.

Notes

While I have used mixed berries here, you can use any fruits you like! These icy poles are delicious with summer fruits like mango, pineapple and a little lime juice.
 
Keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. They are perfect for kids parties and entertaining, as well as a refreshing treat on a hot day.
