I love good ice cream, but as diary does not like me, I do enjoy making my own guilt-free alternatives and they are so much cheaper and healthier— like this popsicle.
Now you can use the base of this recipe and turn your popsicles into all sorts of flavours.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup of almond, coconut or non-diary milk of choice
- 2 bananas
- 1/2 cup of frozen or fresh fruit – raspberries, strawberries, avocado etc
- 2 tablespoons of cacao powder
- 2 teaspoons of maple syrup or raw honey
- Optional: add crushed nuts or seeds to the mix at the end
TOPPING
Optional topping:
- 1 tbsp Cacao powered or dark chocolate
- 1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Large handful finely chopped nuts
DIRECTIONS
- Place milk, bananas, fruit (if adding can leave out too), cacao powder, and sweetener into a blender. Mix until smooth. Add nut or seeds at the end if adding.
- Using a cup with a pour spout, pour mixture into popsicle molds.
