A Healthy Summer Treat
Cool off on a hot day with a popsicle you can feel good about eating. Because they are low in sugar and naturally sweetened with maple syrup I feel good about giving these to our daughter, Carrington. I love using coconut milk because of the healthy fats it adds to family’s diet.
What is Coconut Milk?
Coconut milk is made by grating flesh from a brown coconut, soaking it in water and then straining it to produce a milk-like consistency. It can benefit health in several ways, such as by stimulating weight loss and lowering cholesterol. Coconut milk should not be confused with coconut water, which is found naturally in immature green coconuts. One cup of coconut milk contains:
- Protein: 5 grams
- Carbs: 13 grams
- Fiber: 5 grams
- Vitamin C: 11% of the RDI
- Folate: 10% of the RDI
- Iron: 22% of the RDI
- Magnesium: 22% of the RDI
- Potassium: 18% of the RDI
- Copper: 32% of the RDI
- Manganese: 110% of the RDI
- Selenium: 21% of the RDI
How to Make Creamy Coconut Marbled Popsicles
It took me a couple of tries to get these popsicles just right. The secret to a smooth and decadent treat is to thoroughly blend the coconut milk. Full fat coconut milk separates in the can. If not blended well the popsicles will contain small lumps of coconut fat throughout.
If you want to enjoy the popsicles on the same day make them in the morning so they will be ready by the afternoon.
You can use any popsicle mold. I prefer the one linked here. Its silicon and makes it very easy to get the ice pops out.
Note: I make a very small commission, at no cost to you, for anything purchased through my site.
Can I Make Substitutions?
I love butterfly pea powder and pink pitaya (also known as dragon fruit) for its health benefits and beautiful color. If you don’t have any you can order here or substitute fruit for the powder. Add the fruit to the blender along with the coconut milk and maple syrup in place of the powder. Blueberries would work well to replace the blue butterfly powder and raspberries or strawberries would work in place of the pink pitaya.
