On a warm summer day, nothing beats the refreshing taste of homemade popsicles. This recipe not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also boosts your health with nutrient-packed superfoods. I remember a sunny afternoon spent with my niece, who was hesitant to try anything healthy. Together, we whipped up these vibrant Superfood Berry Bliss Popsicles, and to our surprise, they became her favorite treat! The joy of seeing her relish each bite while knowing we were nourishing her body was unforgettable.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries)
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Creating these popsicles is a breeze, and the results are as delightful as the memories they create!
Start by blending the frozen mixed berries in a blender until smooth. If you prefer a bit of texture, you can blend them slightly less.
Add the coconut water, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the blender. Blend again until everything is well combined. The chia seeds will add a delightful crunch and a boost of omega-3 fatty acids!
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion as they freeze. Insert sticks into the molds.
Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until completely frozen. If you’re using silicone molds, you can easily pop the popsicles out once they are set.
Once frozen, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to help release the popsicles. Serve them garnished with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
Enjoy your Superfood Berry Bliss Popsicles on a hot day, knowing that each bite is packed with antioxidants, hydration, and a hint of sweetness!
