Blueberry Breakfast Ice Lollies

What if I told you that a delicious and nutritious breakfast could come out of the freezer?

Intrigued?

Well I was inspired by my friend Tanya, who is basically the most beautiful Mum there ever was, to make some yummy and very pretty ice lollies.

I know, I know…AND she’s had three children! It’s not ok to hate her though because she’s really, really nice ?

Tanya described the recipe as ‘smooshing together’ blueberries, yoghurt and cereal. But for those who aren’t so comfortable with smooshing, I’ve had a few run throughs (for research purposes of course ?) and worked out amounts and methods to make your ice lollies just perfect .

You will need

150g blueberries

100g granola

450g natural yoghurt – plain or flavoured. For this recipe I use fat free vanilla yoghurt.

Honey (optional)

Method

Place your granola in a freezer bag and crush slightly. You don’t want to reduce it to dust, you just need to pieces to be fairly small so that the lolly holds together.
In a bowl combine the granola and about 4 desert spoonfuls of yoghurt.
Stir in a desert spoonful of honey.
Blend your blueberries or push them through a sieve.
Loosely mix together the blueberries and yoghurt. It looks better if you don’t fully combine them. If you’re using plain yoghurt, you might like to add a little honey aswell.
Now layer the two mixtures in your moulds.

To make sure that there aren’t any gaps, you’ll need to tap the moulds on your work surface every now and again. If you’re not sure just use a lolly stick poke the ingredients around.
Add a lolly stick to each mould and freeze for several hours, preferably overnight.

These have gone down so well in our house and not just as a breakfast treat on hot days. The lollies are like a small meal!! I’ve found myself grabbing one at lunchtime when I was too hot/busy/lazy to make anything ?
