What better way to cool down in the summer than having an ice cold lolly! These healthy lollies are made out of 4 simple ingredients, have no added sugar and are so nourishing! It's rather like slurping on a delicious, frozen smoothie and they've become by favourite summer snack (I even have them for breakfast).
The secret ingredient to giving these pops a delicious creamy texture (and to avoid a big block of frozen ice), is cashews! Cashews work so well in most desserts and sure enough they make great lollies too! For those of you that have nut allergies, try replacing soaked cashews for soaked sunflower seeds. I haven’t tested it out yet but I’m sure it would work just as well.
Don't worry if you don't have lolly moulds, you can still indulge in these nourishing pops - I'll explain how in the recipe!
Ingredients:
2 mangos - peeled
1/4 pineapple - peeled
1/2 cup of cashews
1/2 cup of almond milk - or any other nut milk
Method:
Soak the cashews in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, or overnight. Once soaked, drain and rinse well with water.
Add the soaked cashews, mango, pineapple and nut milk into a blender and blend until smooth.
Transfer the mix into lolly moulds* and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
*If you don't have moulds you can add the mix into a freezeable container instead. It will taste exactly the same!
These look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhen did the extra nuts get added for garnishing?
Hi Leah,
ReplyDeleteThe soaked cashews are soaked and blended in with the mango, pineapple and nut milk to create a creamy, lolly texture. You can sprinkle nuts in tops also. 😊
