the first of summer

summer treat

I remember the house I grew up in. A patio out back with a brown picnic table and orange and pink poppies overflowing the flowerbed. Summers spent with stacks of pb&j, running through the sprinkler, and always plenty of popsicles. They ranged from cream-sicles to push-pops to twin-pops, and as long as they were cold, we were happy.

Last summer we made our fair share of fresh fruit popsicles and chocolate dipped bananas, and this afternoon I dumped a few simple ingredients into the blender for fudgesicles. 

Just add a beach towel and a healthy dose of freckles, and it's a perfect summer day.

what you'll need: any kind of popsicle sticks and molds/coconut milk/cocoa powder/banana/vanilla almond milk

 

Coconut Almond Fudgesicles

(dairy free)

The best thing about this "recipe" is that you can really add whatever you like. 

another banana, more coconut milk, more cocoa, swap out the coconut milk for more almond milk and add some peanut butter.....you get the idea. easy easy.

add to the blender:

1 banana

2 cups vanilla almond milk

1 cup coconut milk

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

blend. pour into popsicle molds. freeze. run through sprinkler. eat. repeat.

enjoy.
