Age and weather aside, icy poles are always a good choice. They’re fun, fresh and (if chosen correctly), often full of fruit. But since they tend to coincide with bikini season, it helps if you know they’re healthy (read: put the cola Zooper Dooper down). The best way to do this is to make them yourself. So we’ve enlisted the help of nutritionist and founder of, The Brown Paper Bag, Jacqueline Alwill, to conjur up her most healthy, but delicious dairy-free icy pole recipe. With this in one hand and a cocktail in the other, summer (or Wednesday afternoon) is complete.
