Who doesn’t love some ice cream when the sun comes out?
I don’t know about you, but my kids seem to think that ice cream means ice cream or ice lollies around the clock – at least when they are on their summer holidays.
And being far from an almond mum, I love bending the rules a little once summer and school holidays roll around. But my goodness, the constant begging for ice cream does leave me feeling a little uneasy at times about all the sugar that these summer treats unfortunately mean…
Which is why I was so excited to come across this mum’s hack for delicious, frozen treats for kids – that contain only fruit and no sugar at all.
Will they make my kids forget all about 99s or those freeze-at-home little triangle ice lollies they are obsessed with? Probably not. But they might just be the next best thing, and something my kids will love to eat regardless – and if that means a few less ice creams (and a little less sugar), I’ll take it!
Healthy kids ice cream
In a social media video, mum Anna Ignatenko shares how you can easily just use frozen fruit to create the most delicious and refreshing kids ice cream (or frozen treat, which might just be a better word for it) – honestly, how easy does this look?
Captioning her Instagram-video, the mum shares:
‘Things I wish I knew as a first-time mum.’
She then shows how she uses a little ceramic grater plate (I have found, got it at a farmer’s market near me) to simply grate whatever frozen fruit you want into frozen ‘slush.’
She demonstrates using kiwis and strawberries, but we imagine this would also work amazing for frozen peach, frozen pears, and even frozen bananas, which can be turned into the most delicious, creamy frozen treat!
