Here in Ireland, summer tends to keep us on our toes. The sunshine might be hit or miss, but when it does make an appearance, we definitely make the most of it. I like to have a few healthier summer treats ready to go for those spontaneous sunny days — homemade Magnums, fruity ice pops, and a fresh jug of homemade lemonade are always on standby. The ice pops and Magnums keep well in the freezer for up to three months, so I usually make a big batch in one go, and the lemonade only takes a few minutes to throw together. Easy, refreshing, and perfect for a sunshine moment.
