The good news is, food doesn’t have to be fake. Here’s a real frozen yoghurt, packed with goodness and nutritionally sound enough to have for breakfast, dessert or as an afternoon icy pop in the summer time.

  10 minutes

• difficulty

  Easy

Ingredients

• 300 g frozen mixed organic berries
• 1 frozen ripe banana (remember to peel before freezing)
• 2 tbsp chia seeds, crushed in a blender
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• ½ cup (heaped) coconut or whole milk yoghurt, plus extra to serve if you like
• 2 tsp beetroot powder (optional)

Instructions

Pop all ingredients into a high-powered blender and blend for 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides and repeat blending and scraping another 2-3 times to get it super smooth and creamy.

For icy poles, pour mixture into ice-cream moulds and leave to set overnight.

To eat straight away, pour into glasses or bowls, top with extra yoghurt and a sprinkle of beetroot powder to garnish.

Note

• You could add crushed nuts and seeds, bee pollen, extra berries, or whatever you fancy!
