Nutri Lush Lollies

This recipe is basically a deliciously thick and creamy nutrient-rich smoothie bowl recipe, which may also be eaten immediately as an energizing breakfast or a power-snack without the need to freeze.

1 banana, peeled (frozen or fresh)
1 apple or pear, peeled & chopped
1 small raw beetroot, peeled & chopped (or a carrot)
1 handful of kale or spinach
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp ceylon cinnamon 
2 tsp coconut yogurt (or nut butter)
1 cup of desiccated coconut*
1 cup of water*

(*The desiccated coconut may be pre-soaked in the cup of water for 8 hours to soften and create a coconut milk.)

Blend all the ingredients together until it resembles a thick milkshake consistency. Then pour into frozen lolly moulds and freeze for 2 hours. To release from the moulds you may need to stand in room temperature water for a few minutes. Or take them with you straight from the freezer, and go with the kids to play in the park and the lollies will be good to go as soon as you arrive there.


Variety is the spice of life! There are numerous options to mix-it-up or suit your taste or health needs, such as:

• Add 1/4 tsp ginger spice or turmeric
• Swap coconut yogurt for coconut butter or a nut butter
• Swap the apple for berries.
• Add a scoop of gelatin powder or pea protein powder.
• Add 1 tsp of Dutch cocoa powder.
• Swap the kale for greens powder.
• Swap out some of the desiccated coconut for:
  • Any seeds that you like, pre-soaked for 8 hours to activate the enzymes and soften
  • A handful of cashews, almonds, brazils or walnuts, pre-soaked for 8 hours to activate and soften.
