Healthy Recipe of the Week

The unofficial start of summer is next weekend. When summer hits and the heat soars, I love a cool, refreshing, and healthful treat! Do you remember  Creamsicle Bars? A popsicle with an icy orange outer layer and a creamy filling inside. Delicious! Many fun childhood memories come to mind savoring a Creamsicle Bar after a day at the pool or beach.

Read on for a DIY nutritious, guilt-free popsicle treat.

Summer Peach and Avocado Swirl Pops

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup Raw Cashews (soaked for at least 4 hours)
• (1) can Coconut Milk
• 1/4 cup Agave Syrup 
• Pinch of Sea Salt
• 1 1/2 inch piece of Ginger (peeled)
• (1) Avocado (ripe)
• 1 cup Peach Slices (fresh or frozen)
• Popsicle Molds of choice
• Popsicle Sticks of choice

Directions

Drain and rinse cashews. Add the cashews, coconut milk, agave syrup, salt, and ginger to a blender. Blend until completely smooth (2 – 3 minutes). 

Divide mixture in half and blend half with the avocado. Set aside. Blend the other half briefly with the peaches. *Small pieces of the peaches remain. 

Fill the ice-pop molds about 3/4 of the way with the peach mixture then top with the avocado mixture. Use a Popsicle stick to swirl the avocado mixture lightly into the peach mixture. Insert one (1) Popsicle stick into each mold. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours or until firm.

*Tip: Since the cashews stabilize the coconut milk, after the pops are frozen, they will stay frozen for 10 to 15 minutes, which makes then get for summertime gatherings.
