Summer calls for cooling foods like fresh salads and refreshing ice popsicles! Most store bought ice popsicles are laden with sugar and other artificial ingredients so The Chia Co have come up with a delicious Chia Kiwi Popsicles that are totally guilt-free!

There is so much we love about summer, the return of lighter and longer days meaning there is even more reason to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. Although we love cooking, when the sun is shining, you don’t necessarily want to be spending hours in the kitchen so quick, positively simple and wholesome dishes are essential.

With the highest combined plant source of Omega 3, fibre and protein, a simple sprinkling of chia seeds will pack a nutritious punch for summer smoothies and salads, we love our Chia Kiwi Popsicles recipe for an afternoon treat in the sun!
