Layered Fruit Pops!

   Summer is approaching very fast! The days are getting longer and the weather is getting warmer!  And what better way to cool off than with a delicious popsicle!?! This recipe is super easy to make, healthy, and you only need 2 ingredients!!

 

Don't they look delicious? I love the contrast of the colors!

 

Ingredients:

2 Cups Mango Chunks

1-1/2 Cup Berries

 

and that's it! Can you believe how simple this recipe is?

 

First, if you are using frozen fruit(I did) you need to let them thaw a bit.

 

 

Mangoes are my favorite fruit!

 

 

Place the mangoes in a blender or food processor. Blend until creamy and smooth!

Then, get your popsicle molds ready! I got this super cute one at TJMAXX the other day!

Fill the molds half way up.

 

Now we need to show some love to the berries!

Place the berries in the blender.

 

Blend to a puree

 

Now fill the molds to the top with the berry puree.

 

Place the lids and sticks in the molds. Put them in the freezer for at least 4 hours, but over night is better. Once frozen, take them out of the freezer.

 

Run under warm water to lose the mold from the pop.

Now they are ready to eat! Enjoy them on those hot, sunny days or anytime when you're craving a summery treat!

I love the flavor combo of the berries and mangoes! The mangoes are sweet and the berries have a hint of tartness that just make these pops, pop!

To store, place back in the molds and keep in the freezer.

These pops are healthy, beautiful, easy to make, and delicious! Perfect for a snack by the pool or to cool off after spending time outside in the sun!

Berry Lemon Muffins

I know, these aren't the greatest looking muffins ever, but they are delicious all the same! The muffins are the perfect blend of the tartness of the berries and the sourness of the lemon! They are perfectly moist and delicious!

Ingredients:
1 cup Coconut Flour
1 Tbs. Chia Seeds
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp. Lemon Zest
Pinch of Salt
3 Eggs
1/3 Cup Coconut Oil
1/3 Cup Honey
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
1 Cup Coconut Milk
1 Cup Frozen Berries

Start by whisking together the dry ingredients. Make sure that the Baking Soda doesn't clump up.

Next, beat the eggs and add to the bowl along with the lemon juice and coconut milk. Make sure to mix well!
Heat the coconut oil and honey together in the microwave and mix into batter.
Then fold in the frozen berries. The more you mix this the more color will come out of the berries, so keep this in mind! If you want a purple-ish batter like I did, mix fairly well. If you want to keep the colors separate, just fold to combine.

Grease a muffin tin and then scoop the batter into the molds. These muffins don't rise too much, so fill them fairly full.

Bake at 350 F for 30-35 mins. They smell so good while baking!

Once they are baked, let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan and allowing to cool completely.

They are just simply delicious! A perfect spring and summer breakfast, snack or even dessert! I love how the berries just burst when you bite into them!

So, even if they aren't beautiful in looks, they really pack some yummy flavors!
