Fruity Baobab Ice Lollies

Fruity Baobab Ice Lollies

Bursting with fresh, fruity flavours with a zesty tart twist of organic baobab powder, these Fruity Baobab Ice Lollies are instant summer crowd-pleasers that are guilt-free and healthy.
Baobab powder is loaded with Vitamin C, magnesium, potassium and digestive fibre. It’s also one of the richest plant-based sources of calcium at 1.5 times more than almonds. Our diets are often deficient in these minerals and baobab powder is an excellent source of these nutrients.
We’ve chosen fruit for their brilliant colour and summer-sweet flavours. Try one, try them all, or invent your very own combinations!

Total Time 7 hours
Course Dessert
Servings 6 Lollies

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Juice We used Apple
  • 1 tbsp Baobab Powder
  • 1½ cup Fresh Fruit Peeled and chopped (see our favourite combinations below)

Watermelon, Baobab and Raspberry

  • 1 cup Watermenlom
  • ½ cup RaspBerries

Pineapple and Baobab

  • 1½ cups Pineapple Pieces

Instructions
 

  • Blend the ingredients together until smooth, and pour into the moulds.
  • Add the fresh fruit chunks and then the ice lolly sticks.
  • Freeze for 5-6 hours, or overnight.

Notes

For a pretty twist on the usual, keep a few pieces of fruit aside to add after blending ; about 2-4 small pieces per ice lolly.
  • If you would prefer to use wooden sticks instead of the plastic ones that came with the mould set, pop in at the pharmacy and ask where they stash the tongue depressors. They make really great ice lolly sticks!
  • Dissolve honey into a little warmed up juice, and let it cool before using as part of your 1 ½ cups.
  • Before you pour your mixture into the mould, remember to check the height of the sticks to make sure they’ll fit into your freezer!

Nutritious Breakfast Bowl

Nutritious Breakfast Bowl

Smoothies are wonderful for when you want breakfast in a hurry, but breakfast bowls are just the thing when you’re wanting to savour crunch, creaminess and fruity succulence all at the same time. Light enough for post-workout nourishment and substantial enough to give you an energy burst to start your day, this baobab mango fruit bowl ticks all the boxes.
Organic baobab fruit powder adds a powerful anti-oxidant dose of Vitamin C and calcium, along with useful amounts of magnesium, potassium and soluble dietary fibre. Baobab fruit powder is also known for its prebiotic properties, thereby helping probiotics do their work. We’ve added in Earthshine’s Moringa & Baobab Granola for raw nutritious crunchiness, colour and flavour as well as Hi Honey’s Baobab infused Honey – which combines the many benefits of raw honey with an extra infusion of baobab fruit powder.
Especially developed and photographed for EcoProducts by Candice Douglas of the Social Post, this is a tried and tested recipe that focuses on exceptional taste using locally produced natural ingredients wherever possible. With sweet, ripe mangoes and berries in season, almonds contributing protein and calcium and creamy coconut milk for healthy fat, this is a fruit bowl to fall in love with. So here’s the recipe – with a warning. You’ll find yourself wanting to lick the bowl clean regardless of the company you’re in. We did!!
