Summer in Brighton & Hove? I’m sharing my go-to recipes for healthy ice lollies—they’re refreshing, nutrient-packed, and ridiculously easy to make.

They’re hydrating, naturally sweetened, and loaded with good-for-you ingredients. Bonus? They’re dead easy to make and 100% kid-approved.

1.🥜 Healthy Ice Lollies Recipe: Banana & Peanut Butter (Protein Boosted)

This one’s like a frozen smoothie on a stick. Creamy, rich, and a little indulgent—but still clean and energising.

You’ll need:

  • 2 ripe bananas

  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter

  • 200ml unsweetened almond milk

  • ½ tsp cinnamon

  • Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (great post-workout)

How to make it:
Blend everything until smooth, pour into lolly moulds, and freeze for at least 4 hours.

Why it works:
Bananas are a great source of potassium (hello, post-exercise recovery), and the healthy fats from peanut butter keep you full. Add protein for an extra punch if you’re using it as a recovery snack.

👉 Trainer tip: These are perfect post-session treats. I often suggest these to my clients in Brighton and Hove who want high-protein snacks that feel like dessert.

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 can coconut cream

  • 1 cup coconut water

  • Optional: shredded coconut or lime juice for extra zing

How to make it:

Quick Lolly-Making Tips From a Nutrition Coach (Me!)

  • Use silicone moulds – they’re easier to pop out, especially when you’re on the go.

  • Sweeten smart – stick with fruit, maple syrup, or honey. Skip artificial stuff—it messes with your gut and cravings.

  • Hydration hack – use coconut water in your base for a hit of electrolytes.

  • Double batch it – these freeze well for 2–3 weeks. Perfect for grab-and-go!
