Food trends: Fruit pops
So the most popular food trend at the moment seems to be either those crazy milkshakes that have everything but the kitchen sink in, or these lushious fruit pops. Normally they are made with coconut water but thats not syn free so i usually use diet lemonade and sometimes even add mint and a splash of balsamic vinegar like a pimms ice lolly.
All you have to do is choose your favourite fruits and put them into an ice lolly mold or even cheap plastic cups.
put in your stick and pour over your chosen liquid then freeze for at least 4 hours..
i can't really even call this one a recipe!
its healthy, quick, easy and even the kiddies love them!

Ice cream
Yes, i said it.. ice cream!! i bought a cheap ice cream maker on amazon a few years ago for 20 and it is still going strong, i know they have a lot of offers at the moment so don't miss it! okay so this ice cream is made with yoghurt.. and depending what you put in, it isn't always going to be syn free BUT it will save you the syns of a lifetime compared to eating normal ice cream!!
The basic mix is 1 pot of the total 0% fat greek yoghurt. You then add sweetener to taste and a few drops of vanilla EXTRACT. i cannot stress that you use EXTRACT not essence.. essence is vile and chemical tasting!
From that mix you then add a muller light yoghurt. if you want vanilla, add a vanilla yoghurt..
You could use the latte muller light to make a coffee ice cream.
You could do a mango passion fruit ice cream and add in chunks of mango or sieved passionfruit.
Add an after dinner mint with peppermint extract instead of vanilla and add some chocolate ontop (or choc shot of course)
Peanut and caramel frozen with chunks of banana in (for a chunky monkey ice cream)
Add 2 of the pineapple crush (1/2 syn each) and if you wanted a shot of coconut rum for a pina colada style ice cream with chunks of pineapple swirled through.
As long as you have imagination the possibilities are endless.
To freeze if you aren't using an ice cream machine you should pour into a freezable container and whisk up every hour for 4 hours. just take the container out of the freezer 15 minutes before serving so it is scoopable!
Using an ice cream machine follow the instructions as every machine is different then when donw, put into a container or seperate containers and freeze!
