As the summer progresses, many people battle to eat hot foods. It is important, however, that our clients (and ourselves) are kept hydrated. Often the only way that your client willingly eats is when they are offered cool foodstuffs.

Ice lollies are perfect for those hot days, they are easy to make and easy to store in the freezer.

Raspberry ice lollies

You should be able to find fruit tea in most supermarkets, and raspberry/berry teabags are ideal for this. Make a pot of tea and when cool pour into moulds and freeze.

Rainbow fruit ice lollies

You can add small amounts of mango, kiwi, banana, and berries in layers to your moulds and freeze them. They look attractive and are easy to eat.

Milkshake ice lollies

This is a good way to incorporate milk into your client’s diet. In the blender make up a milkshake with any fruit your client enjoys, pour into moulds and freeze.

Final thoughts

Ice lollies can be made with any fruit your client enjoys. Simply cut into small pieces and, keeping the liquid, pour it all into a mould and freeze. With a little bit of imagination you can have a selection of different flavored ice lollies on hand through the summer.
