Gotta Have My Pops
"Gotta have my pops!" Haha... remember that commercial? Do they still make pops?
I made these popsicles while trying to find a way to eat more clean calories while still having a good time. The entire recipe is around 1,000 calories, which puts each popsicle at just about 100 calories per popsicle (10 popsicles, each popsicle is 2.5 fl oz).
While I still want to experiment with coconut cream and possible some protein powder in these things, this is the first batch in my experiments that made me stop and want to share it. They taste great, and it really reminds me of the 90's when I would pretty much live off of popsicles.
I used coconut milk from the can. The coconut milk beverage is a bit more watered down, and may make it less creamy.
Directions
- Blend the coconut milk and spinach on high for 45-60 seconds. Resist the urge to smell it.
- Put in the rest of the ingredients (be sure to peel all the citrus) and blend on high for 60 seconds or until smooth.
- Pour your newly created melted popsicle smoothie into your popsicle molds.
- Put your popsicle maker together and stick it in the freezer for a minimum of 6 hours, but overnight would be best.
- To remove each popsicle, I run a little warm water over the outside of the popsicle molds to loosen them up.
