Ice Lolly Recipes

After looking at how high in calories most of the high street ice lollies are I realised there had to be another way to enjoy that lolly lickin’ experience, without all those calories. That way I thought, would be to make my own, but you’ll find no orange squash lollies here!

I took my inspiration from some smoothie recipes to avoid that watery, bland texture we all associate with home made lollies, so you’ll find these low calorie/low fat lollies will actually fill you up as well as cool you down.
