Fruity Soy Milk ICE LOLLIES.....under 150 cals.

With the beginning of Summer 2012, which is supposed to be warmer than ever in Europe, there is nothing better than an ice lolly or popsicle as a mid afternoon snack. Considering the fact we are having a real heatwave especially in South Europe, with temperatures reaching 35 degrees celcius in Malta, we should be eating fresh and cooling smaller and lighter meals with more snacks to keep our energy up (a must to endure this heat).  




Now, eating popsicles is definitely not a sacrifice for anyone. But for those of us who want to limit sugar intake, watch calories and eat healthy while still enjoying life and food, having a cool refreshing snack might be slightly more difficult than just grabbing a pack of ice lollies at our local food store. Well with this easy, quick and healthy recipe you will get your cool mid afternoon snack sorted in less than 150 calories. So keep reading....



Now don't mind the shape of these popsicles. I had to do some DIY and make use of the tools I had at home since I don't have any popsicles molds yet. I will be buying some cute ones this week. The taste is great though, and with some cute popsicles molds you will get cute and tasty ice lollies.

INGREDIENTS (Makes 2 small cups popsicles size that is about 4 popsicle molds iI guess)
  • 1 small banana slightly soft
  • 1 small apple
  • 2 canned peach halves washed from syrup (use 4 medium fresh peaches if you have them at home)
  • 40 ml soy milk
PEPARATION
  1. Mash the banana with a fork.
  2. Wash, peel and dice the apple.
  3. Cut the peaches into small chunks.
  4. Mix the fruit with the milk and mash and stir using a fork until you get a thick consistency with some bubbles resembling a milkshake.
  5. Pour the mixture into your molds.
  6. Place your sticks which should be able to hold thanks to the fruit pieces.
  7. Freeze for at least 5 hours.
If you want them extra sweet you can add either cinnamon, a healthy honey or vanilla essence. For more healthy recipes check my food blog.

STAY FAB & ENJOY
