Healthy Mixed Berry & Chia seed popsicles with Granola topping

With a weekend of COVID-19 isolation to make the most of and the sun shining throughout, I spent hours on Saturday reading “The Fourth Trimester” and soaking up what will probably be the last blocks of quiet time Jack or I get before the little man is due to arrive next week. I found myself reaching into the freezer looking for a Calippo style ice lolly, full of all the fruity flavours that remind me of childhood holidays but seemed we missed ice lollies off our last “essentials” shopping list.
Frozen berries are added to my morning protein shake each day so we had a fair few bags of them in stock as well as soya milk, chia seeds, some crunchy granola (although, this is not essential if you don’t have) and some dates for natural sweetness. These are super simple to make and much healthier than your shop-bought lollies! They’re also vegan thanks to the soya milk, packed with fibre from the chia seeds and only sweetened with natural ingredients so a winner for all the fam!
I hope this brings a little smile to everyone’s faces on a hot sunny day in the coming weeks!

Serves: 4 ice lollies
Ingredients
200ml soya milk
Juice of ½ large orange
125g frozen berries
2 medjool dates
1 tbs chia seeds
2tbs granola
Instructions
Add the soya milk, orange juice, frozen berries and medjjool dates to a blender and mix till smooth.
Stir in the chia seeds (don't re-blend).
Tip a sprinkle of granola into the base of each ice pop container and pour over the berry liquid.
Using a chopstick or similar, gently push the mixture down so that it covers the granola. This will make sure the granola comes out along with the rest of the ice-pop!
