popsicle, popsicle, popsicle
Thursday, July 31, 2014
I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a Vitamix. I've been making green smoothies for over 4 years and have been using my trusty blender to do so. It has served the wonderful purpose and I couldn't be more proud of that blender for hanging in there with me. However, I finally reached the point where I just couldn't bear to chew one more smoothie.
I ordered the Vitamix and we became fast best friends. Having a blast together, daily! We've made ice cream, soup, cocktails and of course my favorite green smoothies. We've added smoothie recipe's (hello carrot, hello beet), too.
I've been playing with our popsicle maker as well.
1 cup blueberries
1 cup coconut milk yogurt (yumm)
Blend until completely smooth.
Banana:
3 banana's
1 cup coconut milk
Blend until completely smooth.
For this yummy chocolate banana one, I tried something different adding trader joes' organic hot cocoa mix. Just for the heck of it. And guess what? We thought they were the most delicious. Will definitely continue to make these.
Chocolate Banana Popsicle:
3 bananas
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 package trader joe's organic hot cocoa mix.
*None of these recipes made a complete 10 pops. I mixed the trays to experiment. You can, too!
