Back to school with My Lil Ice Pop

This post is bought to you by My Lil Ice Pop (My Lil Pouch).

As part of my TRTLMT Back To School Guide 2015, I’m showcasing some amazing businesses to get you ready for the new school year. This weeks business is My Lil Ice Pop who you have seen once before on TRTLMT and was loved by many.

Who is My Lil Pouch?

Sarah runs My Lil Pouch which is the business that created the My Lil Ice Pops brand. Sarah is an Australian based mum of two, yes two, sets of twins 5 years and under so she knows what families want – products that are easy to use but are also budget family and high quality.

My Lil Ice Pops is based in Queensland.

What are My Lil Ice Pops?

My Lil Ice Pops are 100% FDA approved food grade silicone, freezer safe tubes that make homemade ice block and ice creams a breeze. These are perfect coming into the warmer months.

These are a reusable tube rather than disposable. Being dishwasher safe they are easy to clean. They are designed to be used over and over again.

Each tube holds 100mls. Fill them with fresh fruit juices, smoothies, home made ice cream or yoghurt for a delicious and easy treat without all the added sugars and numbers. These are great for families that have allergies as you control exactly what goes into them.

Another benefit of these is due to the food grade silicone, little teeth have difficultly biting through these and damaging them. As Sarah points out, these make a great treat AND a teething relief for little ones!

The My Lil Ice Pops come in a variety of different packs. Below are just come of the colour options. You can see more here.

Use:

They are extremely easy to use that even the kiddies can help.

Simply remove the lid from the tube, very easy for kiddies to do, fill the tubes using a jug filled with your desired filling.

Be sure not to overfill. As we know things expand during the freezing process so you don’t want the lid popping off in the freezer.

Pop into the freezer for 8-12 hours to freeze.

Once ready, remove lid, push ice block up and enjoy. If they are a little hard to push up, simply run under some warm water for a few seconds. It’s really that simple!

Filling ideas:

Sarah does regularly post filling ideas on her Facebook page so be sure to head over and like it. Fill with:

Fresh fruit juice made in your Thermomix (even just blitzed watermelon makes a yummy ice block).
Custard as is or with a little cocoa through it makes a delicious ice cream.
Yoghurt with puree fruit or coulis through it. Yum!
Green smoothies or smoothies are delicious frozen and filled with goodness.
Leftover iced chocolate or coffee is great frozen. Iced teas also freeze beautifully.
Diluted fruit cordial are a very easy and quick option. making cordial in your Thermomix is a breeze too!
Adults, don’t forget you can add a little alcohol to the mix for a delicious adult treat.

Want more ideas? Sarah has just released an e-book with over 30 recipes. You can see more here.

Thinking outside the box:

Not only are these great for delicious summer treats there are also some other great uses for these:

Fill with breast milk for a treat safe for baby. If using formula, just check your tin to see if it is safe to be frozen.
Fill with snacks such as dried fruit or nuts.
Fill with stocks or tomato pastes and freeze.
These make great gifts in party bags.
Great stocking fillers.
