I try and be as careful as possible about what we feed Huxley without being over-controlling and stopping him from having anything nice to eat, because let’s be honest, I eat chocolate biscuits, so he’s bound to want to eat chocolate biscuits.
Over the summer we wanted to find something that he could eat after lunch or dinner that would keep him cool. When I was little we used to make ice-lollies all the time and we loved them so we figured we’d give them a go with Huxley.

This isn’t much of a ‘recipe’ post really as it’s simple enough not to need a formal recipe.
You basically get whatever fruit it is that you want to use (or you can try mixing some fruit to make some yummy new flavours) and stick them all in a blender with some water, pour into some ice-lolly moulds and stick in the freezer!

We used frozen fruit as it’s a much cheaper alternative to fresh but you could use either. We made Huxley some mango lollies and also some raspberry ones, although the raspberry ones were a bit too tart and needed sweetening with something else.
Another fun alternative is to use yoghurt instead of water to create smoothie lollies too. We didn’t get around to trying this out this year but it’s definitely on our list for next summer!
