Warning: these little beauts by The First Year Blog (pictured top) take some time to concoct (there's a fair bit of freezing by layers to contend with), but the end results are absolutely luscious. Patience is key!
Banana and raspberry smoothie pops
If, like our kids, you have little ones constantly straining to hear the chimes of an ice cream van, distract them with these delish banana and raspberry smoothie pops by Tesco Real Food. Not only are they easy to make but they weigh in at only 80 calories per pop. Win, win.
Berry and gingernut yoghurt pops
What is this wizardry? A cheesecake / ice lolly hybrid, you say? So much YES PLEASE to these pretty little sticks of deliciousness by BBC Good Food. That bottom bit is gingernut biscuit, and the top part is a gorgeous mix of yoghurt, condensed milk and berries. #salivating
