BEES' BLOG: EAT MORE FRUIT

Hello, we are Polly and Billi the Bees, and this is our once-a-month Guest Blog!

We love cooking (you probably remember our special recipe for Honey On Toast) and like that nice Jamie Oliver we are very keen on healthy eating.

 

But eating healthily shouldn't be a chore – it should be fun, and what could possibly be more fun than Popsicles?

 

However, popsicles are usually full of sugar, colourants and e-numbers, so we have developed our own special recipe!

 

Take a slice of tomato, impale it on a lolly stick and voilà: you have a TomatoPop!

 

Here's another easy, fun recipe – take a segment of orange or satsuma, fix it to a lolly stick and you have a delicious OrangePop (or possibly, a SatsumaPop)!

 

They're quick, they're easy and they're delicious – children just love them!

 

You can adapt this recipe to make CucumberPops, GrapePops, GrapefruitPops, PineappleChunkPops – with a bit of practice you might even be able to make LettucePops, although they're quite tricky to stick on the stick.

 

By a happy coincidence, today is also International Coffee Day, so you can enjoy a lovely latte while you make your Pops!

 

So, we've been The Bees and we'll see you again next month – until then, BEEEEEEEEEE A HEALTHY EATER!
