Banana Avocado and Honey Popsicles!

It's the dead of summer, 95 degrees, sticky and just plain hot! Irritable and cranky kids in need of something to cool off. Most commercial popsicles and ice cream are loaded with sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Not to mention all those artificial dyes and flavorings. So, we decided to make our own organic, creamy and delectable treats to cool ourselves off in the summer sun.



Organic Banana Avocado and Honey Popsicles:

2 Small Organic Bananas, roughly chopped
1 Organic Hass Avocado, pitted and flesh scooped out
1 tbsp Organic Honey
1/4 cup Organic Whole Milk (Substitute, soy, rice or coconut milk depending on allergies and food tolerance)
1 tsp lemon juice

Special Equipment: Blender or food processor; popsicle molds

Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until completely smooth. Add more milk if you feel mixture is too thick, you want it to be creamy like a smoothie or thin milkshake. Pour mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for 4 hours or until completely frozen. :)


This recipe made three good size popsicles for me, but will vary depending on the size of your molds.

If you don't have popsicle molds consider using cleaned out yogurt containers or small paper cups along with popsicle or lollipop sticks to create your own recycled popsicle mold.
