3 Homemade Ice Cream
Popsicles (Delicious & Vegan)
July 11, 2014
If
you’re trying to beat the heat and enjoy an occasional treat, here are three
healthy and nutritious options without all the added sugar and chemicals found
in most commercially-prepared treats.
Banana Fudgesicles
Most
fudgesicles are packed with chemicals but in only a couple of minutes (plus
freezing time) you can enjoy healthier and tastier ones made at home.
1-1/4
cups of almond milk
1 banana, peeled (use 2 if you prefer a sweeter fudgesicle)
3 Tablespoons cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
1 Tablespoon ground chia seeds (optional)
1 banana, peeled (use 2 if you prefer a sweeter fudgesicle)
3 Tablespoons cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
1 Tablespoon ground chia seeds (optional)
Blend
all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into popsicle molds and
freeze until firm. Makes approximately 6 fudgesicles.
Probiotic-Rich Creamsicle Ice Cream
This
light orange-colored ice cream is as delicious as it is beautiful. It
tastes like the creamsicles I ate as a child but is so much healthier. It
is high in vitamin C, protein, calcium, magnesium, and of course,
health-boosting probiotics. If you don’t have an ice cream machine pour
into popsicle molds for delicious creamsicles. Serves 4. Adapted

In
a blender, blend together the cashew mixture, mandarin oranges, almond milk,
dates, and vanilla powder or extract until creamy. Pour into an ice cream
maker and make according to manufacturer’s directions, usually 25 to 30 minutes
in the machine.
Blackberry-Raspberry Sorbet Pops
This
recipe is packed with health-promoting proanthocyanidins that boost heart
health, fight cancer, and more. You can enjoy it as a sorbet by adding
the blended ingredients to an ice cream maker or turn it into sorbet pops if
you prefer.
