This summer
Temperatures in many parts of the country hit a historical record.
Since the ambush
Only air conditioners, fans and cold drinks can "continue life"
But when it comes to "cold drinks", many parents wave their hands again and again.
High in sugar, oil and calories.
Better eat fruit.
After all, summer
It is a good season to eat fruit.
not only that；nay
There is a way to eat fruit.
But it’s better than "cold drink"
that is
"Frozen" to eat!
Frozen fruit is better than you think.
Many people say that since eating frozen fruit, even ice cream is inferior!
The delicious ice cream mainly depends on fat, protein and sugar. Wherein fat and protein provide mouthfeel.
Protein will seize the "water" molecules in sugar water to form bound water; Fat is broken up to form small fat balls, which are combined with protein and water, and they work together to form a smoother and more delicate taste.
This kind of taste can also be found in frozen durian.
Moreover, even though durian is already the king of calories in fruits, reaching 150kcal/100g, it is just a low-fat product compared with ice cream.
In addition to durian, there are bananas, which are also comparable to ice cream.
At the same time, researchers in many countries believe that super-processed foods (ice cream, chocolate, cakes, potato chips) and so on are positively related to obesity. High calorie is not the main problem of these foods. The bigger problem is that they are often high in sugar, fat and salt, and rarely provide diversified nutrition. They can be obtained everywhere and are particularly easy to eat more.
Delicious, nutritious and not fat, frozen fruit is really worth a try.
Recommended frozen fruit "red list"
Frozen fruit is delicious, but not all fruits are suitable to be thrown into the refrigerator.
Only those with high sweetness (ripe), fine texture, delicate and smooth taste of ice cream or cool and refreshing smoothies are suitable for freezing.
Specifically recommend several models for everyone:
Frozen durian can be described as a "perfect substitute" for dessert. protein and fat are high, so it will taste like ice cream, but durian is also high in sugar. Children who control their weight should not be greedy!
one
Banana is high in potassium and low in sodium, which is the best choice for quick energy supplement. The taste of frozen bananas is also very similar to that of ice cream, and the taste is soft and waxy like adding cream. However, it needs to be reminded that frozen bananas should be peeled before freezing, otherwise they will be frostbitten.
2
Mango has a high carotene content, 45 to 104 times that of apple, which is helpful to improve night blindness, and it is also a selenium-rich food. The frozen mango has a more fragrant aroma and a fine and soft taste. However, it is best to peel mangoes after freezing, and it is best to choose ripe mangoes for freezing.
three
Jackfruit is a high-potassium food. After freezing, its taste is crisp and waxy, so it is worth a try. However, the sugar content of jackfruit is very high, so children who need to lose weight should control their consumption.
four
Croissant honey is a representative of sweet but not fat fruit. It tastes sweet and refreshing, but in fact it is not high in calories. The taste of frozen croissant honey is very similar to that of sandwich ice cream, with crisp outer layer and soft inner core. Children who are greedy for "sandwich ice cream" are worth a try.
five
Grapes are rich in a variety of fruit acids to help digestion, and high levels of vitamin C and anthocyanins are also beneficial to the body. Frozen grapes taste like smoothies, and after melting a little, they look like jelly.
six
Litchi has a high content of vitamin C, which is comparable to citrus fruits. Frozen litchi mixed with pulp with ice residue is very chewy. It should be noted that the sugar content of litchi is also very high. Although a considerable part is fructose, the total amount of glucose and sucrose is not low. Children who need to control sugar should eat less.
seven
Watermelon, a fruit with moisture in off the charts, is a proper popsicle after freezing. It has a rustling taste and melts in your mouth and is full of juice.
eight
Papaya must be softened before freezing. Soft papaya is frozen for one night, slightly warmed up, soft and waxy, with delicate pulp, and there is no ice residue in it, which is biased towards the dense taste of ice cream. After freezing, the fragrance of papaya became more and more full, and the sweetness became refreshing.

Tips:
Fruits with high sweetness and good flavor are delicious when frozen, and the sweetness after freezing is not so greasy. Tropical fruits such as durian, mango and pineapple are generally suitable for frozen eating; On the contrary, the more sour the fruit, the less suitable it is to be frozen. Don’t try fruits like plums, apricots and oranges easily.
Fruits with high fructose content are sweet at low temperature, such as grapes and watermelons, which are sweet and refreshing after freezing; Fruits with high sucrose content have similar sweetness at any temperature, such as dates and peaches, which will not be sweeter after freezing.
There are requirements for "frozen" fruits
Although frozen fruit is delicious, improper operation may "hurt" your body!
Many parents worry that their children think that eating cold food will cause diarrhea. But in fact, sometimes children will feel uncomfortable after eating cold food, which may not be caused by "cold", but there may also be the following reasons:
Food intolerance (or allergy)
Some children have gastrointestinal discomfort after eating certain foods, which is largely due to food allergies. In summer fruits, mangoes and pineapples are allergic foods. In addition to allergies, there may be food intolerance. Some children’s intestines and stomach can’t digest and decompose certain foods, which will cause discomfort such as flatulence, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Eat too much at once
Eating frozen fruit in summer can cool off the heat and quench thirst, so it is easy for children to binge and eat if they are not careful. But in fact, whether it is warm or cold, eating too much is easy to cause indigestion.
Personal constitution
Some children have a fragile stomach. If they have irritable bowel syndrome and are prone to gastroenteritis, eating cold food may cause stomach upset.
In addition, there is one of the most important reasons that must be paid attention to when freezing fruits, that is-
Food is contaminated by germs.
In the process of fruit pretreatment, frozen fruit and thawing, food comes into contact with some microorganisms, causing virus, bacteria and protozoa infection, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea in children.
Therefore, I suggest you:
Pay attention to the separation of raw and cooked in pretreatment.
Use clean chopping boards and drinking water when peeling and cleaning. Cutting tools and chopping boards should be separated from raw ones.
If there is room in the refrigerator, you can use a freezer drawer to store frozen fruits. If there is not such a big place, be careful not to put frozen fruits and raw meat products together.
Do a good job of packing and sealing.
Although the microbial reproduction of fruit is slow after freezing, it can be preserved for a long time in theory. However, if the fruit is frozen for too long, it will produce large ice crystals, and many fruits will easily taste bad, which will affect the taste.
Don’t freeze and thaw repeatedly
Repeated freezing and thawing is not only a serious nutrient loss, but also prone to deterioration.
Finally, the frozen fruit can be eaten after 5 to 10 minutes.
Eating fruit should also be divided into time periods
Fruit itself contains different enzymes. If you want enzymes to have different effects in the body, you should also choose the most suitable time to eat.
Don’t eat too sour on an empty stomach.
People with poor gastrointestinal function should not eat fruit in the morning. Bananas are also not suitable for eating on an empty stomach, which will speed up the movement of the stomach and increase the burden on the heart.
Eating fruit between meals can quickly supplement vitamins.
When eating fruit between meals, fructose and glucose in the fruit can be quickly absorbed by the human body. Pineapples can be eaten after lunch, and watermelons are best eaten two hours after meals.
Don’t eat a lot after dinner.
Eating fruit 1 hour after a meal helps digestion, and you can choose fruits with high organic acid content such as pineapple and hawthorn.
But don’t eat a lot of fruit after dinner, which is not good for digestion, and it is easy to turn the sugar into fat and accumulate in the body because of eating too much.
Homemade fruit ice cream
If you want to make ice cream for your child, you must remember the following "formula":
Frozen fruit+yogurt+banana+whipping
Mix frozen fruit, yogurt and bananas, whip them finely, then put them into a mold, and freeze them for 30-40 minutes, and they will become home-made fruit ice cream!
Passion fruit mango flavor ice cream
350g frozen mango meat +60g frozen passion fruit juice +1 banana at room temperature +100g frozen thick yogurt.
Qing ti mi gua Wei ice cream
350g frozen honeydew melon +250g frozen green extract +1 banana at room temperature +100g frozen thick yogurt.
Frozen fruit, in the way of delicious, cool and not fattening, prolongs the taste period of seasonal fruits and also prolongs the happiness in summer.
Parents may wish to give their children a try when they have time!
