Whenever I look at recipes for ideas, I always think of ways to make it healthy, by skipping the refined sugar, and definitely using less sweetener in general. These ice pops are smooth and creamy-dreamy. Sometimes I even just freeze them in ice cube trays for a little snack or add a cube to a smoothie.  

 

13 oz (400ml) coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut water or water
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, optional
2 Tbsp brown rice syrup or pure maple syrup
1/2 cups berries or chopped fruit, or vegetable* / fruit puree (2 Tbsp per pop) 

​

PURPLE – steamed purple sweet potato / blueberry puree

RED – steamed beetroot / strawberry puree

ORANGE – steamed orange sweet potato / mango puree

YELLOW – steamed golden beetroot / pineapple puree

GREEN – avocado-kale smoothie / kiwi puree

 

*you can add a tsp of syrup to the vegetable puree, or blend it together with the fruit.

​

• Mix the first four ingredients together in a bowl. 

• Fill each popsicle/ice pop mould half full with this coconut mixture.

• Add the fruit or puree, give it a quick stir. Add more coconut milk mixture, if necessary. 

• Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for 3-4 hours, until solid.
