Have you ever had a mojito? I had my very first one a couple of months ago while I was on vacation at the beach and I’ve been dreaming of it ever since. It combines lime and mint, which is so incredibly refreshing.

Watermelon Lime Sorbet

We bought this huge watermelon the other day.  While the flavor was very sweet, the texture was a bit weird, so I decided to make this Watermelon Lime Sorbet with it.   What an awesome decision that was!  It came out SO GOOD!!  There is also ZERO added sugar. If you love sorbet, you may also like my Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet.

This healthy sorbet recipe is vegan, gluten free and paleo.  You only need 3 simple ingredients!  I used my ice cream maker, but if you don’t have one, you can always make popsicles instead.  I like these molds.

Do you like piña coladas? I recently tasted my very first piña colada while on vacation. Omg YUM! I wanted to recreate the unforgettable flavor, but in a healthier way. This cake is made with fresh pineapple, coconut cream and very little added sugar! PLUS it has a secret ingredient that adds even more nutrients.

You would never guess that there’s an ENTIRE zucchini hidden inside of it. Haha! Yes, vegetables in your dessert, because who doesn’t need more green veggies in their life? I promise you can’t taste vegetables. The zucchini actually makes it more creamy.

Peanut Butter Banana Popsicles

I am always looking for ways to use up ripe bananas.  My daughter, Meadow, and I made these Peanut Butter Banana Popsicles together.   She loves helping me, and this recipe was a very easy one for her to help with.  You can see her in the picture below. If you like homemade popsicles, you may also like my blueberries and cream popsicles or my strawberry popsicles.

These popsicles can easily be made nut free by using sunflower butter instead of peanut butter.  I added some chocolate chips to mine, but that is a totally optional ingredient.  You can just do the peanut butter and banana if you prefer. If you love my 5 minute banana ice cream, you will love these!

Peaches and Cream Popsicles

I think the warm weather is here to stay here in Dallas.  It’s been in the 80s all week.  So it was about time to break out the popsicle molds. Eating clean does not mean you need to miss out on frozen treats.  Making your own popsicles allows you to control the ingredients.  These peaches and cream popsicles have only a few simple ingredients.  My kids both love peaches so I created these peaches and cream popsicles for them.  If you wish, you can also pour this mixture into an ice cream machine to make ice cream instead!  If you enjoy this popsicle recipe, you may also enjoy my blueberries and cream popsicles or my dairy free fudgsicles.

Peach Popsicles - My Whole Food Life

These peach popsicles are dairy free and contain very little added sugar.  In fact, you can omit the sugar all together if you get some super ripe peaches.  My peaches were slightly on the tart side, so I added a little maple syrup.

Tropical Popsicles

I love making my own popsicles.  These tropical popsicles are my latest creation  Most store bought brands contain unnecessary ingredients.  When I make my own, I can create whatever I like.  I even take requests from the girls.  It’s been so hot here in Texas, so a frozen treat is perfect. These tropical popsicles are awesome. They are cool and refreshing, and well… tropical.

Tropical Popsicles

These tropical popsicles are very easy to make.  Did you know that coconut water is a natural electrolyte replacement?  It totally is!  Much better than Gatorade.  Tastes better too!  These would make the perfect post workout snack.  I hope you enjoy them.
