I stared at three boxes of organic strawberries sitting on the kitchen table. Georgie was halfway through one of them when I grabbed them. ‘How about we turn them into ice lollies?’ I said to him.
It didn’t take long to find a super easy ‘recipe’ on Pinterest. And when I say ‘easy’, I mean it! These lollies consist of only three ingredients that I will assume you already have at home. Now get the kids involved. Let them throw everything in the blender, let them watch as the mixture sloshes and churns but warn them that they will not be ready until later. Kids don’t understand time and will not understand that lollies need to remain in the freezer until several hours later, and the last thing you want is a tantrum, so it is a good idea to prepare the lollies and then move on to something else. To Georgie I explained that after he could help me cut up the bananas and place them in a ziplock bag in the freezer, we would whip them up in the morning before school and by the time we come back in the afternoon, they’ll be ready.
