Name of Recipe: Fruit & Yoghurt Ice Blocks
(Adapted from Raising Vegetarian Children by Joanne Stepaniak & Vesanto Melina)

Number of People: Makes 8

Ingredients:
400g yoghurt (dairy or soy - vanilla, or natural, or flavoured to match your fruit)
1.5 cups fruit of your choice (fresh, frozen or canned)
60g pure maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice - you may need more sweetener with natural yoghurt, depends on your kids tastes)

Preparation:
Place all ingredients in TM bowl.  Puree for 1 minute, speed 8.  Pour into ice block molds and freeze until solid.

Tips/Hints:
There's so many combinations you could make with these ice blocks.  One of my kids favourites is strawberry and vanilla yoghurt.  You could also do berries of your choice with berry yoghurt.  Mango with apricot yoghurt.  Peach with vanilla.  The possibilities are endless!

Thanks GJS - healthy and refreshing.

Do they still make the icy-pole trays ??  Is that the type of ice-blocks we're talking about here?

Yes Thermomixer, good homeware shops sell nice ones. You had better get yourself a set or two for the little one

What a great idea.  Will have to remember this recipe for summer.  A bit cold down here in Tassie for them at the moment.
