quick and simple

Like most mums getting my family to have their 5 a day is hard work
and each week i buy lots of fruit especially oranges

now why i do this is sometimes beyond me
because you would think they are from some alien planet the way my children look at them !
So after recently running out of ice lollies i had an idea

why not chop up said oranges

like so

pop them in a freezer bag

and pop them in the freezer ... perfect healthy ice orange chunks



especially good if you have poorly ones too .... x

Thats such a good idea. Another tip is juicing fruit and making your own ice lollies with it with the moulds you can buy at the store. xx

looks really refreshing. I have done similar with mango for the girls when they were teething.

wonderful idea. I do the same sort of thing with different fruit I will most definitely have to try it with oranges(I am sure they will taste great in cocktails too ;) )

Brilliant, I'm certainly going to give that a try.

Another similar tip is freezing bananas. Simply cut them in half and pop them on lolly sticks. They taste just like banana ice cream!
