<p>I'm not entirely sure why I'm making frozen treats this morning, considering the temperature in chilly northern Donegal, Ireland! &nbsp;I'm sitting here wearing three pairs of fleecey pyjama-bottoms, a fur-hooded body warmer, and gloves, but maybe it's because the sun is shining I'm trying to trick my body into feeling warmth from that sun! &nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Anyway, I had some beetroots to use up and instead of making smoothies I thought why not make something exciting for my little 'un. &nbsp;We went away to visit a friend in England last week and despite all the new things and people he was ever such a good boy, bless his cotton socks. &nbsp;So what better reward than nutrition?! &nbsp;(Not sweeties!!!)</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>This is about as easy as recipes go... simply peel and dice the beetroot, pop it in a jug/bowl along with <strong>ripe</strong> banana (the riper the sweeter), and blend them together with a hand blender. &nbsp;Then you can either add chia seeds as they are, or if texture is a bit strange for young children I often grind the seeds up into a powder and stir in, so the texture causes no issues. &nbsp;The resulting taste makes me think of 'summer fruits'... and if you told someone it was made with berries instead of beetroot, I'm certain they'd believe you. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>So there we have it! &nbsp;And here are some photos to entice you into making it yourself. &nbsp;I love to photo the stages of recipes made with fruits and veggies, they are so gorgeous and deserve celebration in picture form I think!</p>
