How to make mandarin orange ice lollies.

These mandarin orange ice lollies are the easiest things to make, ever!  I don't even want to call it a recipe, it's basically frozen fruit!

You will need
1 can of mandarin orange segments, in juice.
ice lolly molds

How to make your yummy vegan ice lollies
Open the can of mandarin orange segments and use a fork to help you scoop the segments out of the can and into the ice lolly moulds.  

Use the fork to scooch the orange down to the bottom of the mould and try to eliminate air gaps.  Nothing bad will happen if you have air gaps, the lollies just don't hold together so well.  It's probably best to use the push up type lolly mould for this reason, to contain them in case they get a bit fallling-apart-y.  

You can add a little of the juice from the can to each mold too if you like.  

After a couple of hours in the freezer they'll be ready to eat!

These ice lollies are loads healthier and cheaper than shop bought ones, especially if you get the orange in juice rather than in syrup - then there's no added sugar. This tin of oranges was £1, so each of my lollies cost 25 pennies!  Incidentally, one small can of mandarin orange segments it enough to fill my 4 silicone push up ice lolly moulds.  Yey!

Vegan review - Riso Scotti dairy free milk.

I was sent some exciting new vegan milk to try from Riso Scotti!

Riso Scotti are a fairly new brand to the UK, but have been around in Italy for ages and they're now available to us!  You can buy Riso Scotti dairy free milks from Holland and Barretts.

I tried three types, Oat, Rice Quinoa and Rice Calcium.

Risco Scotti Rice Quinoa
I feel like this one's good for you, because it has quinoa and extra B vitamins in!  The rice quinoa milk is slightly sweet, yummy and I've been making vegan ice lollies from it! 

Riso Scotti Rice Calcium
The rice calcium version of Riso Scotti is similar to the rice and quinoa one.  Slightly sweet, good in tea, and it has the bonus of added calcium,  

Riso Scotti Oat
The oat milk was my favourite!  It's less sweet than the other milks, and I made some delicious vegan pancakes with it.

All three of the vegan milks taste great on their own, and are neutral enough to disappear into recipes or hot drinks without a funny aftertaste.

I really like that the ingredients are simple, no funny unpronounceable things in there!  The rice versions are gluten free.  And they're all organic too!
