GOLDEN KIWI PIÑA COLADA POPSICLES
My Golden Kiwi Piña Colada Popsicles are a nourishing summer treat made with freshly blended tropical fruit, nutritious greens and decadent coconut cream. These popsicles are all-natural, vegan and free of refined sugar and gluten. Although they taste like a tropical cocktail, they're made with just 5 ingredients and they're fun, quick and easy to prepare! They're picky eater tested and kid approved, making them family friendly and a perfect sweet indulgence for hot summer days. I've said it many times here at JustineCelina, but I believe you can nourish and treat yourself at the same time. These cheerful summer popsicles are packed full of so many amazing vitamins and nutrients -- largely in part to the gorgeous, golden kiwis used in this recipe. If you like piña coladas... well, then you'll love this clean twist on a tropical classic!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 3 Zespri SunGold Kiwifruits
- 1/2 cup pineapple
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1 cup banana
- 1/2 cup coconut cream or milk
- 1/4 tsp pure rum extract
Instructions
-
Add 2 Zespri SunGold Kiwifruits, pineapple, spinach, banana, coconut cream and rum extract to your Vitamix (or similar) and blend until smooth.
-
Pour the blended popsicle mixture into molds, filling to a 1/2 inch from the top.
-
To decorate the sides, skin 1 Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit and slice thinly. Slide the kiwi slices down the sides of each popsicle. Remember -- these aren't meant to be perfect, so have some fun with placement! I found the smaller slices worked well at the tops of the popsicles and the larger pieces worked well towards the bottom. If you want to make them really pretty, you can use a small spoon to press the kiwi flesh against the side of the popsicle mold and use a chopstick to work out any air bubbles before you pop them into the freezer!
-
Add a popsicle stick to the centre of each mold and allow them to freeze for at least 3 hours before enjoying.
