Is it me or does it seem like this summer is happening faster than any other summer? I’m definitely not the best at math, actually I’m pretty horrible at it, but we’re only just past the halfway point which means there are plenty of days to wear sundresses and sunnies and go on road-trips and pack picnics. World. Stop. Rushing. Me.
A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for these creamy strawberry basil pops. It was then when I declared my love for my new popsicle mold. So today I’m bringing you these roasted blueberries n’ cream matcha popsicles because summer you guys!
They’re made with lots, coconut milk and organic matcha powder from Kiss Me Organics. Matcha is a finely ground, high-quality green tea powder that has been around for centuries. I drink matcha for its super-antioxidant powers, and for its mellow caffeine buzz. But the list of matcha benefits are endless from increased focus to improved skin health. Matcha – do you dig it?
Some final things I’d like to check off my summer to-do list.
Eat more ice cream.
Spend more quality time with this man.
Paint my nails. Isn’t this so fun?
Drink more matcha mint ice tea.
Bake a gf version of this cake for my {August} birthday.
- 1 pint blueberries
- 3 tablespoons raw local honey {divided}
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 avocado
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon matcha
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread your blueberries into a thin layer and drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of honey and roast for 10 minutes or until bubbly and piping hot. Allow blueberries to cool completely and transfer the blueberries, juice and all into a bowl and set aside.
- Blend together the coconut milk, avocado, remaining honey, salt and matcha until smooth.
- Distribute your roasted blueberries evenly into the molds, then pour the matcha mixture into the molds and give them a gentle stir. Cover, add the sticks and freeze until completely frozen.

I love matcha because it has a subtle nuttiness to it that’s wonderful, plus it turns any dessert a lovely shade of green! I also love it in smoothies or with some steamed almond milk. I have been dying to get a bag of matcha so I would love to win a bag!!

Amy | Salt and Honey says
My sister introduced me to matcha while we were still in college. I was a little weirded out at first by the concept of dissolving ground up tea and drinking it, but quickly fell in love. It has such a unique, almost smokey taste. Definitely high on my list of favorite teas.

I love to try new things – and have had matcha on my list for awhile. I especially enjoy learning new and healthier ways to cook. Loving all the great ideas in this post and comments for ways to use matcha. Thanks for the chance to win some!
Carrie A Groff says
From the words of Dr. Weil, Matcha is so good for you because in “addition to providing trace minerals and vitamins (A, B-complex, C, E, and K), matcha is rich in catechin polyphenols – compounds with high antioxidant activity. These compounds offer protection against many kinds of cancer, help prevent cardiovascular disease and slow the aging process. They also reduce harmful cholesterol in the blood, stabilize blood sugar levels, help reduce high blood pressure and enhance the resistance of the body to many toxins. The most important polyphenol in matcha is EGCG (epigallo-catechin gallate), which is the subject of many medical studies. Matcha has a significant amount of dietary fiber and practically no calories.” Plus, it just tastes delicious!

Sherrie says
Hey there! No such thing as a late comment, I’ll take them all. Although probably not too common, matcha can be found in stores. You could try a local Asian market or health food store. Good luck and thanks for reading :)

Annette says
I am keto – what would be the best to replace the honey with?
Sherrie says
Hi Annette – you can roast the blueberries without any honey, and then add some stevia drops to sweeten to your liking.
