Now summer is here there is nothing more enjoyable than a ice block on a hot summers day. You are going to love my homemade raspberry coconut muesli ice blocks, they are sweet, creamy with a wee bit of crunch and not to mention super healthy (don’t tell the kids that). They really are the perfect summer treat to help cool down, you can just grab one out of the freeze when ever you feel like indulging. I have to admit I love these even for breakfast, its like a muesli with coconut yoghurt and berry compote on a stick. No assembling just grab and eat. Enjoy x
