Green & Gold Popsicle Recipe
I am absolutely loving the warm weather here in Australia right now! Summer is easily my favourite time of year, and this week we’re celebrating Australia Day (our national day). Many people celebrate by having a barbecue or going to the beach, all of those things you might think of when it comes to us Aussies! So, this is a quick healthy popsicle recipe that you can make for dessert. No matter where you live, these popsicles are worthy of their own celebration!
If you’re heading off to a barbecue and want to bring a dish with you, try this healthy Panzanella Salad! Quick and tasty!
