Strawberry Popsicles (Vegan and Paleo)

June 17, 2014June 1, 2017 Melissa King 21 Comments

Summertime is here and it’s time to bring on more popsicle recipes! Starting with these Healthy Strawberry Popsicles. Who doesn’t like popsicles? My kids love them, but the store bought versions usually include artificial dyes and processed sugar.

You can easily make your own popsicles with just fruit as the ingredient. I added the chia seeds to my strawberry popsicles because I like to add in a little healthy fat and also fiber.

These homemade popsicles are so simple. They have no added sugars. Vegan and gluten free. They take less than a minute to throw together. It takes the popsicles about 6 hours in the freezer until they are ready to eat. They they are there in the freezer for you to enjoy anytime!

I love these popsicle molds! They have a drip catch it’s less likely to make a mess. I know all you moms can relate! 🙂 If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can probably make this a sorbet in an ice cream maker.

These would really work with any fruit. I imagine raspberry, blackberry or even kiwi would also be delicious. So go crazy with all the fruit and eat popsicles all summer long.

Matcha Truffles (Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo)

Have you tried matcha powder? Matcha powder is made from green tea leaves. It contains many health benefits. Matcha powder is high in antioxidants, can help improve memory and concentration, increase energy, boost metabloism and detoxify the body.

I have been wanting to try matcha, so I was happy to get an opportunity. I used Kiss Me Organics Matcha Powder.

Their matcha powder is organic, vegan and gluten free. You can do all kinds of things with this matcha powder. Smoothies, lattes, baking and raw desserts.

I am thinking about making a matcha ice cream next! These matcha truffles are delicous. Who wouldn’t want a truffle with antioxidants? Seriously? Win! If you like these matcha truffles, you may also like my strawberry cream truffles.

These matcha truffles were seriously so good! Melt in your mouth with hints of green tea. If you are already into green tea, then you will love matcha!

If you make these with dark chocolate chips, you will also be getting the antioxidants from the chocolate! Bonus! I have even more good news, Kiss Me Organics is going to give 1 bag of matcha powder to one of you!

Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

The warm weather is here and I am cranking out new ice cream recipes. This cherry chocolate chip ice cream recipe is my latest one. I just love cherries. So when my husband brought a bunch home the other day, I knew I wanted to make cherry ice cream. Of course I had to make mine cherry chocolate chip ice cream, because chocolate always makes everything better! Am I right? I love having an ice cream maker. It is so worth the money when you think about the price of organic, dairy free and gluten free store bought ice cream. You can make your own ice cream recipes for so much cheaper with just a handful of ingredients.

This cherry chocolate chip ice cream is dairy free, vegan, gluten free and even paleo friendly. It only takes 4 simple ingredients to make it. I love 4 ingredient recipes. I really think you could omit the sweetener all together in this if you happen to have some really sweet cherries. You will need to pit the cherries, which can be a messy job unless you have a cherry pit remover. Love mine!

Healthy Blueberry Pie (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Healthy Blueberry Pie. Out of all the desserts out there, pie has always been my favorite. In fact, my very first blog post was a pie recipe.

Please forgive the awful photos! Since we are in the middle of berry season, I was thinking about blueberry pie.

Last weekend, we took the girls out to lunch at Spiral Diner. My husband got the blueberry pie for dessert. It was good! I knew I could come home and make a healthier blueberry pie! My homemade blueberry pie is not only delicious, it’s vegan, gluten free and grain free!

This healthy blueberry pie is also very easy to make! If you like pie recipes as well, you may also like this and this.

Healthy Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (Vegan)

I am a big fan of homemade ice cream. This Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is the bomb! This mint chocolate chip ice cream is also dairy free, gluten free and vegan. This peppermint chocolate chip ice cream recipe is even paleo approved.

It’s also creamy delicious. I highly recommend getting an ice cream maker if your budget allows. It pretty much pays for itself after a few batches. Have you priced organic, healthy ice cream lately? Way too expensive for me. That is why I make my own ice cream recipes.

I make my mint peppermint ice cream recipe with coconut milk. For those of you that hate coconut, don’t worry. You can’t taste it in this at all! All you taste in the mint and little bites of chocolate chips.

The best part about this ice cream is that it only has 4 simple ingredients! Super simple.

3 Ingredient Coffee Popsicles

I was going to post a savory salad recipe today, but I haven’t been able to get the photos finished. So I hope you don’t mind I share these 3 ingredient coffee popsicles instead. I don’t know about you, but I used to love Starbucks Frappuccinos. I am sure they are laden with nasty ingredients and definitely not dairy free or vegan. Well these 3 ingredient coffee popsicles are the dairy free and vegan version of the Starbucks Frappuccino. Can it get better than this? If you like 3 ingredient recipes you may also like my 3 Ingredient Chocolate Bars.

I was going to make this a coffee ice cream recipe, but I have been having issues with my ice cream maker. We put the paddle in the dishwasher and it warped. So now I am waiting for a new paddle in the mail. I promise when that comes in, I will be making more ice cream recipes for you all. Oh, and it you hate the taste of coconut, you seriously cannot taste coconut in these at all. All you taste is that wonderful creamy coffee flavor. So good!
