"All you need to know for a healthier child...."
In warm weather we love to experiment with different flavours for making delicious smoothies/shakes and lollies.
Raw cacao is chocolate in its purest form, without sugar and other additives. It is rich in minerals and immune boosting antioxidants and does not cause the blood sugar spike of most shop-bought alternatives so is a wonderful thing to add to the store cupboard and experiment with. Bananas are a great source of potassium and soluble fibre and dates are helpful for digestive health.
This makes a fab, silky smoothie or a yummy lolly and takes seconds to blitz up and make.
