Coconut Milk Chia Popsicles

    These popsicles are so flipping good and they are pretty good for you too! Coconut milk can be great for helping lower cholesterol and controlling blood sugar levels. Everyone knows that chia seeds are among the healthiest foods on the planet. Not only are they are loaded with fiber, protein and antioxidants, but they are high in Omega-3 fatty acids. The full fat coconut milk freezes perfectly for popsicles! They are almost creamy right out of the freezer! I used strawberries and bananas in my pops, but I will definitely be experimenting with different fruits. I'll definitely be making these often!


Coconut Milk Chia Popsicles
Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounce) can of full fat coconut milk
- 1- 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of chia seeds
- fresh fruit of your choice (bananas are the best!!!)
    Pour the coconut milk into a bowl and add the honey and vanilla. Whisk together until the honey has dissolved. Mix in the chia seeds and let the mixture sit for about 20 minutes to let the seeds soak. Place pieces of fruit into popsicle molds fill halfway with chia mixture. Put a few more pieces of fruit and then fill all the way with chia mixture. Freeze for several hours or overnight. This recipe made 6 popsicles in my mold. When ready to eat, run warm water over the molds and they should come out easily.
