Nourishing Kefir Creamsicles

My family and I had an amazing opportunity to spend five months in Mexico this winter.

Of course, the weather is much sunnier and hotter there than we were accustomed to here in the Canadian North. We would all crave something sweet and cool in the afternoons. 

It didn't take a language degree in Spanish to see that the packaged ice cream treats from the local tiendas were full of refined sugars, hydrogenated fats and chemical additives! Five months of eating those everyday, and we wouldn't have been feeling too good.

We did have lots of milk kefir at home though so why not add calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K and probiotics to our bodies while we enjoy a delicious treat?! Here's the recipe:

For 12 popsicles
Ingredients
  • 3.5 cups diary or coconut milk kefir
  • 4-5 Tbsp of maple syrup
  • 4-5 Tbsp raw honey
  • 4 Tbsp cocoa powder or raw cocao
  • 12 squares organic dark chocolate
  • 6 squares organic dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • OPTIONAL:  maca root powder, collagen or gelatin powder, protein powder, chopped dates, cocoa nibs, chopped goji berries, bananas.
Procedure:
  1. Blend the liquid ingredients together in a food processor or blender.
  2. Pour into 12 popsicle forms.
  3. Drop one square of dark chocolate into each form so that it sinks to the bottom
  4. Dribble the chopped chocolate chunks along the tops of each popsicle. Some will sink in and that is good too!
  5. Add the sticks and place in the freezer for 6-8 hours.
