You can’t beat a lolly or ice cream in the heat but store bought versions can be very high in sugar and fat. Lolly moulds can often be found in local pound shops or supermarkets and it’s a great way for your children to get involved in learning about healthy eating, and you can make everyone’s favourite flavour combinations.

Here are a few healthy options to try out from BBC Good Food.
