Free Recipe for Thermomix · Icy Poles
Two brightly coloured icy poles, both made from whole fruit and vegetables, both ready for the freezer in under ten minutes.
These two icy pole recipes are made in the Thermomix in about 10 minutes each, with four ingredients apiece, and each one fills six moulds. They need a minimum of six hours in the freezer before they are ready to eat.
We love icy cold sweet treats, and even more so when they are filled with healthy ingredients. These two are perfect for warm weather and perfect for festive entertaining on the lighter side. One is deep pink from raw beetroot and fresh ginger, the other a bright green from baby spinach and whole lemon, and both are sweetened with nothing but apple juice and a little maple syrup. They are quick and easy in your Thermomix or thermo cooker, though you could also use a high powered blender. All you need after that is a set of Silicone Ice Cream Moulds and some patience while they freeze.

Remove from the moulds and serve straight away, while they are still frosted. A tray of the pink ones next to a tray of the green ones looks wonderful on a table at Christmas.
Notes and tips
Six hours is a minimum, not a target. Overnight is easier to plan around and gives you a firmer pop. Store them in the moulds in the freezer and pull one out whenever a healthy, refreshing icy pole is needed. Both mixtures are made the same way, so you can blend one straight after the other without washing the bowl in between if you do the green one first.
Questions we get asked
How long do these icy poles take to freeze?
A minimum of six hours. Overnight is the easiest way to plan it, and they will be firmer for it.
Can I make them without a Thermomix?
Yes. Both mixtures work in a high powered blender. The method is the same: everything in at once, then puree until smooth.
Are they vegan and dairy free?
Both recipes are vegan, vegetarian, dairy free and gluten free exactly as written. There is no dairy and no added anything beyond fruit, vegetables, apple juice and maple syrup.
How many pops does each recipe make?
Six each, so making both fills twelve moulds and gives you one tray of each colour.
How do I get them out of the moulds?
Silicone is flexible enough to peel back off a frozen pop, so they release in one piece. If one is stubborn, a few seconds under running water on the outside of the mould will loosen it.
Making frozen treats all summer?
A good set of moulds is the difference between a pop that slides out whole and one that snaps in half. Ours come with the sticks included, and they go straight from freezer to hand.
