Chocolate Crunch Ice Lollies

I am really squeezing all the sunny goodness out of this summer, making the most of summer flower, glimpses of the sun and any summer vibes I can grab.

 

This weekend was a great example. I created a massive super naturally healthy feast that was literally summer on a table even though it was grey outside. I knew it would be a busy weekend shooting a little promo film so I wanted prepare all the food in advance so I could just shove it on the table.

The table was heavy with naturally healthy goodness – so much so I think one of my guests had some detox symptoms the next day – next time I must remember to add some white bread to the mix to ease people’s bodies in gently with all this goodness!

It was so much fun – I highly recommend it. This was my menu for the day – lots of dips and lots of picky things to grab and get messy with and of course we ended it all with a  massive chocolate fondue with loads of fresh fruit and a home-made chocolate sauce. I was so full after it all I didn’t eat the rest of the day – thats what proteins and naturally fats does for you keeps you full for ages!

I  also made this little Chocolate Crunch Ice Lollies recipe  for the feast as a pudding back up.

 

I live with the perpetual fear of not having enough food when guests are round so I always have something up my sleeve incase,  you know an entire rugby team comes over and needs feeding. Needless to say we didn’t need these lollies (did I mention there was homemade fondue instead?), which I was secretly glad about so I have been munching on them all week pretending I am on holiday.

 

These are such a treat but super simple and contain loads of antioxidants from the raw cacao, protein and fats from coconut oil and almond flour – you don’t need to worry about crazy E numbers or the artificial sweeteners that are making this nation diabetic! Plus its a case of blend then freeze. Super simple which mean you can spend more time in the sunshine:) Win.

 

Enjoy!

If you didn't know already I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with coffee.   I love it, my gut and body historically have hated it. But all in all, I am a total coffee snob and fiend.   And there is nothing that screams Christmas more than a SEASONAL...
