Banana and Zobo Ice Lollies

Fruit lollies are a healthy way to quench the kids thirst during the hot weather. It beats ice cream and very sugary drinks any day. The BanaZobs lollies idea came from looking at the leftovers from straining my zobo drink. I looked at the pulp and thought “what better way to use it rather than throwing it away”.

Banana and yogurt lollies are a regular in my household, so the addition of zobo gives it a whole new colour, look and flavour which the kids thoroughly enjoyed.

If you are still planning to make the easiest zobo drink ever, then you can kill two birds with one stone by making this ice lollies together with it. It is good for toddlers too, but you can leave out the zobo if your toddler is less than one year and just make a nutritious banana lolly.
