Fruity ice blocks

Super simple and delicious fruit ice blocks are great for making with the kids. Simply add your choice of fruit to a blender (mango, strawberry, kiwi fruit or watermelon all work well) and blend until smooth. You could add a small amount of water or juice if you need more liquid. Next, pour your mixture into ice block moulds and freeze. The hardest part is waiting until they’re ready!

Apple Doughnuts

Imagine eating as many doughnuts as you want but without the inevitable sugar crash. For this fun treat, you’ll need an apple corer, knife or a circular piping tip. Remove the core of your apples and slice into thin strips so your apple pieces resemble a doughnut. Now the fun part! Have your kids spread yoghurt on their apple slices and add their choice of toppings. Some ideas are blueberries, pomegranate seeds, sultanas, choc chips or sprinkles.

Rainbow Fruit Skewers

Fruit skewers bring new meaning to ‘eating with our eyes’. They don’t just taste great, they look almost too good to eat! Emphasis on almost! First, you’ll want to soak your skewers in cold water to avoid splinters. Next, it’s time to pick and chop your fruit. For a snack with all the colours of the rainbow, you will need blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, rockmelon and watermelon cut into small pieces. Once all your fruit is chopped, kids will love threading fruit onto their skewers. Warning: kids will never want to eat fruit any other way again!

Strawberry & Banana ‘Nice’ Cream

This recipe for ‘nice’ cream tastes just like store bought frozen yoghurt without the additives. Your kids will think they’re getting a special treat when it’s actually a dose of delicious goodness! Ready in under three minutes, just add one and a half cups of frozen strawberries, two ripe frozen bananas, a splash of maple syrup/honey and a half cup of milk/yoghurt of your choice (natural Greek yoghurt or almond milk work great) to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Enjoy straight away or freeze and save for later. Try it with different flavour combinations and toppings of your choice. ¡
