MATCHA POPSICLES WITH BLUEBERRIES AND CREAM

Summer is flying by. And I think making these creamy matcha popsicles infused with seasonal berries and local honey is the best way to savor it. But maybe you’re asking yourself what matcha is. 

Matcha is green tea leaf powder that has tremendous health benefits. Like combating free radicals, promoting weight loss and supporting your immune system. Matcha tastes like a super-concentrated version of green tea.

It’s more robust, full-bodied and earthy. But it’s also very pleasant and even a little bit sweet. Matcha is so versatile and it goes beyond a great matcha latte. It’s great in pancakes, puddings, ice cream, matcha protein shakes and of course, in these matcha popsicles.

How to make matcha popsicles. 

These matcha pops have just a handful of ingredients, but by making them in two easy steps, the flavors are really rich and layered. First, you start by choosing really ripe and delicious blueberries. The riper the better as you want a smooth and sweet flavor, not tart. Roast the berries in a little bit of honey and salt and cool. 

Then you make the matcha cream portion by blending honey, coconut milk, avocado, matcha and salt. The coconut milk and avocado make a really creamy base and the honey, matcha and salt infuse all the right flavors. 

Allow the matcha popsicles to freeze for at least six hours, or until they’re entirely frozen. And then enjoy on a hot summer day. Or make them in the winter for a little escape and pretend it’s summer out. 

Yield: 6 - 10 popsicles (depending on your mold)
