How To Make Healthy Chocolate Fudgsicles When it comes to making high-protein treats, the ingredients used are everything. Pairing lean protein with healthy fats and natural fibre helps slow digestion, keeps you fuller for longer and leaves you with all-day energy instead of a sugar crash. I purposely use wholefood ingredients such as nut butter, avocado, or coconut milk to give my dessert recipes that silky, pudding-like texture while still nourishing hormones and metabolism. Think of these sugar-free chocolate fudgsicles as a little moment of joy that also works for your body; a cool treat, blood-sugar-friendly, and perfectly guilt-free. Why I Use Raw Cacao Instead Of Cocoa Personally, as a recipe creator and Nutritionist, I always reach for raw cacao to use in my recipes because it’s the purest, most nutrient-packed form of raw chocolate and a rich source of magnesium. Unlike regular cocoa or chocolate, which are often roasted at high temperatures and loaded with sugar or added fats, raw cacao keeps all its natural goodness intact. That means more antioxidants, magnesium, and mood-boosting compounds. These are all the nutrients that help balance your mood, support your hormones, and give you a gentle boost without spiking your blood sugar. Basically, raw cacao is a superfood ingredient that actually works for you, not against you. Ready to try making some? Grab a few ice block moulds and pick your favourite brand of raw cacao, let's make delicious high-protein, chocolate fudgsicles together! RELATED: 📖 Want to more dessert recipes and to eat clean?

Certain nutritional ingredients, like probiotics, superfoods and fibre-rich fruits, all work to support the gut, which in turn helps with hormone metabolism, regulation and better balance.

Swap the milk for your choice of dairy, plant-based or a favourite option. What is the healthiest fudgsicles recipe to make? The healthiest fudgsicle recipes are those made from wholefood, nutrient-dense ingredients purposely chosen for their natural benefits to the body, not just their flavour.

Each jar includes hormone-supportive ingredients like flax (phytoestrogens), chia and oats (fibre for blood sugar balance), and magnesium-rich seeds and cocoa to help with PMS cramps, cravings, and mood swings. Make them for the nutrition of specific times of the month to support your cycle. Can I swap ingredients to fit my taste or dietary needs? Definitely! All my blog recipes including these breakfast jars are 100% flexible. Swap out the dairy yoghurt for coconut, soy or almond yoghurt; use different fruits depending on your tastes or the season. Add protein powder if you want an extra boost, collagen for skin, hair and nails, probiotic for gut health and happy hormones. You do you, and let me provide the inspiration. Will breakfast jars really keep me full until lunch? Yes, that’s the main goal! The mix of dietary fibre, lean protein, and healthy fats slows digestion and helps prevent blood sugar spikes, so you stay satisfied and energised all morning. It is scientifically proven that if you start the day with a well-balanced meal, even it is on the small side, it will keep your appetite in check for most of the day. I'd love to know if you make any of these delicious breakfast jars , and what combinations you come up with in your kitchen.

Ice Block Recipes For Glowing Skin In your 30s, 40s, or 50s+, let's be honest, your body is constantly changing. And as we age our collagen production naturally slows, digestion becomes a little more sensitive, and hormone fluctuations start showing up in ways you notice every day. Hello energy crashes, irritability, and bloating to changes in skin elasticity. That’s why these ice blocks aren’t just summer fun and refreshing to eat. They are created by a qualified Nutritionist (hey, that's me) to be nutritionally intentional treats that just happen to taste positively divine on a hot summer's day. Healthy Hormone, Glowing Skin & Gut Health So what does nutritionally intentional mean exactly? Well, I've purposefully packed each ice block recipe below with wholefood-based ingredients that work in tandem to support your gut, skin, and hormone health . Each recipe is naturally low in sugar and uses two products (fully optional) that I personally love for helping women feel their best: The Gut Co’s REPAIR {gut + skin} collagen and FEED {gut + immune} powder probiotic powder. REPAIR {gut + skin} provides collagen peptides to help your skin stay plump and radiant, while also supporting joint health and gut lining integrity. FEED {gut + immune} probiotic powder is your gut’s best friend, promoting a balanced microbiome to support digestion, hormone balance, and overall wellness. Blending fresh, fruity flavours with the science-backed benefits of probiotics and collagen makes for ice block recipes that are more than just a chilled summer treat. These fruity ice blocks are nutritionally balanced to give a glow you can bask in all summer long. Support glowing skin, keep your gut happy, and help balance hormones , all while keeping you cool during the hottest days of summer. Ready to try making some?

It's fun food play for this kids and quick and easy meal planning for busy mums who want to make healthier foods and recipes with more nutritional intention. With just a few small tweaks you can take the average kid-friendly ice block recipes and turn them into something densely nourishing for the kids or women's bodies . Here's my top Nutritionist tips to help you make the most nutritious flavours and blends: Liquid Ingredients The best-tasting and most nourishing liquids to use are filtered drinking water or a high-quality coconut water for a clean, refreshing base. Coconut water adds natural electrolytes to keep you hydrated, making each ice block not just delicious, but truly restorative on hot summer days. You can also use freshly squeezed citrus or cold pressed juices, but just watch the sugar if these are store-bought. Freshly made juice will add natural sweetness as well as nutrients, and is a great option especially for the kids. Adaptogens & Healing Teas Adding in adaptogen herbs and healing teas to ice block recipes is an easy way to nourish and better support your hormones, boost energy levels, and improve mood. Try herbal teas like green tea, hibiscus, or rooibos for antioxidant support, or adaptogens such as maca, ashwagandha, or reishi for improved hormone balance and stress resilience. These ice block ingredients not only deepen the flavour but also transform each ice block into a functional wellness boost. Keep this in mind for your own adult batch of ice blocks, most adaptogen and supplements are always not suitable for children. When in doubt, leave it out. Fruity Ingredients Always start with fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavour, colour, and nutrient density in ice block recipes . If you’re using frozen fruit, I like to let it thaw slightly before blending to achieve that smooth, creamy texture. Fruits are nature’s beauty food, rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and phytonutrients that help support collagen formation, balance hormones, and protect your skin from oxidative stress. Go for bright, colourful fruits such as berries, kiwi, mango, pineapple, and pomegranate for their skin-loving properties and natural sweetness. Experiment with seasonal produce to keep things interesting; think watermelon and lime in summer, or orange and beetroot in cooler months. Use a variety of fruit combinations for visual appeal in all the colours of the rainbow. Superfoods & Supplements This is where nutritional ice blocks go from being a refreshing summer treat into becoming a powerful wellness boost. Superfoods and supplements add layers of nourishment that can help support glowing skin, better gut health, and happy hormones. Think of superfoods such as acai, spirulina, beetroot, matcha, and ginger as secret beauty boosters, rich in antioxidants, vital vitamins, and minerals that help protect cells from stress, support detoxification, and help build collagen stores for glowing summer skin. For this reason, I love using probiotics and collagen like The Gut Co’s {gut + skin} and FEED {gut + skin} blends that are easy to absorb and support true inside-out health. I often sneak in a teaspoon here and there of superfoods like those listed above to help me look and feel my best, one delicious, ice block at a time. Again, some of these additions may not be suitable for children, and are better suited to adults. Nutritionist Note These ice block recipes are such a refreshing treat and way to nourish your body. By combining hydrating liquids, fresh fruits, and nutritional ingredients like probiotics and collagen, each ice block can be made to support gut health, hormone balance, and radiant skin. They’re perfect for women in their 30s, 40s, 50s+, helping to meet nutritional needs while keeping summer fun and delicious. Frequently Asked Questions What are the benefits of ice blocks and popsicles? When made with fresh, vitamin C–rich fruits, herbal teas, collagen, and antioxidant-packed berries, nutrient-rich ice blocks can help protect the skin from oxidative stress, support collagen production, and keep your complexion hydrated and radiant.

How do ice blocks support gut health? Yes! Many of these ice block recipes include collagen and probiotics along with other nutrient-dense, fibre-rich ingredients and superfoods. All of these wholefood ingredients work to support a balanced microbiome, better digestion, and help reduced bloating. Enjoy an ice block can be a great way to help heal the gut and cool off over the summer. Can ice blocks help with hormone balance? Absolutely. Certain nutritional ingredients, like probiotics, superfoods and fibre-rich fruits, all work to support the gut, which in turn helps with hormone metabolism, regulation and better balance. Enjoying an ice block as part of your weekly menu, is a super easy way to take the edge off rogue hormones and realign with balance. Are ice block recipes suitable for all diets? Yes! All of these ice block recipes are easily adaptable for plant-based, dairy-free, or low-sugar diets. You can swap sweeteners, liquids, or fruit based on your preferences without losing the functional benefits. You can also add in specific ingredients that you know will support your dietary and health needs. For example, try making lavender tea or chamomile infused ice blocks to help with anxiety or hormone imbalance; ginger and citrus recipes for immunity and anti-inflammatory support. What is the healthiest ice block to make? The healthiest ice block recipes are those made from wholefood, nutrient-dense ingredients [purposely chosen for their natural benefits to the body, not just their flavour.
