About Fruit Ice Lollies
Hello and welcome to the fruit ice lollies website. My name is Mieke. I am a Mum and worked as a Nursery Nurse for many years in schools, nurseries, and private homes as a Nanny. My passion for making fruit ice lollies started after I had twins and had been suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness) during pregnancy. Like any parent I wanted to give our children a treat but due to my ill health, whilst expecting, I felt it was important that the treat was nutritious too.
Twins age 3
I first started making the fruit ice lollies when our children were 2 years old. The delight on the children's faces when they were given their first ice lolly, combined with the knowledge that the fruit ice lollies were nutritious too, felt enormously satisfying and inspired me to carry on making many more.... this feeling was addictive!
Due to the positive reactions from our children and their friends the idea of a fruit ice lolly recipe booklet started to form. The Healthy Homemade Fruit Ice Lollies Recipe Book was printed by professional printers in 2007 and sold locally and internationally through my previous www.fruitlollies.com website. Reactions from children who tasted the ice lollies and customers who bought the fruit ice lolly recipe booklet can be seen here.
Tried and Tested
I visited a school, nursery and play groups with a selection of frozen fruit purees to see other children's reactions to the different fruit puree flavours I'd brought along. The children loved trying the fruit purees samples and kept coming back for more. It didn't take long until they had all disappeared!
Although these fruit ice lolly recipes were originally created for children, adults can enjoy these ice lollies too. This recipe booklet may appeal to parents, grandparents or anyone who enjoys being creative in the kitchen.

Pieces of Fresh Fruit in a Fruit Puree
If you are using a fruit puree straight away without freezing it try
adding some chopped up fruit to it. It adds extra texture and flavour to the fruit puree and makes it more interesting to eat.
Please note - small pieces of fruit in the fruit puree are not suitable for young children due to choking hazards.
