Strawberry & Coconut Popsicles

By:  Maria





I love this time of the year.  Summer is beckoning, evenings seem more relaxed knowing that darkness will not fall upon us until well after 7pm!
The anticipation of perfect evening breezes while sitting outside.  Hiking, biking and spending precious time with family and friends. 
Good food and refreshing desserts like this one - homemade Popsicles are so easy to make and not loaded with added sugars.  You can customize several different flavors in just one batch.

Ingredients

1 lb strawberries (or any combination of seasonal fruit)
Approximately 1 cup of coconut milk (never, ever light....this type of fat is awesome!)
optional add-ins: dash of cardamom, dash of vanilla, or 1-2 dates

Blend ingredients in blender or food processor.
Pour into Popsicle molds.
Freeze for a few hours.
Enjoy.
Thank me later.

Maria, Can you tell me where I can buy flaxseed meal?

Most large grocery stores carry flaxseed meal.
Whole Foods, Smith's Marketplace and Bountiful Nutrition carry them for sure!
