Phew! It’s hot out there. Summer is in full swing here in Victoria, and amongst the beach days, backyard sprinkler runs, BBQ’s and sunhats, I’m sure that there also rests an unquenchable urge for frozen treats such as ice cream, popsicles, and freezies. 

 

Alongside that, there’s also probably a little voice nagging you about sugar intake, dairy, food coloring, and all of the things that you don’t really want in your body.

 

Don’t worry, I’m here to save the day with some homemade frozen treats you can make so you know exactly what is in there.
