Healthy Summer Popsicle Ideas
I've mentioned my shift in diet to eat a more inflammatory foods, I've also extended that goal to the rest of the family. Cutting sugar is no easy feat when mom and three year old both have a major sweet tooth. Instead of taking away dessert, I thought my best bet was to trick my little into eating a better option. I bought silicone molds and we adapted our favorite smoothies into kid-friendly, delicious summer popsicle treats.
HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER BANANA POPSICLE
This popsicle is a riff on our very favorite smoothie. It tastes so sweet and delicious, but it's actually good for you. For the adult version I like to add a tsp of instant coffee.
- 1 banana
- heaping scoop of your favorite peanut butter
- about two tbsp yogurt
- coconut milk (until desired smoothness)
- coconut flakes (optional)
Blend all ingredients except the coconut flakes until smooth. Pour into silicone molds. If desired, sprinkle with coconut flakes to the bottom of the popsicles. Freeze!
BLUEBERRY YOGURT POPSICLE
- about a cup of blueberries
- about two tbsp yogurt
- about two tbsp honey
- coconut milk (until desired smoothness)
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Pour into silicone molds. Freeze!
