Gluten-Free Strawberry Almond Popsicles

Thanks to the coconut oil, these popsicles have a boost of healthy fats, no refined sugar and a creamy texture. While the chocolate and almond drizzle is optional, it takes these frozen delights straight to grown-up-cool status and adds a perfect crunchy contrast.

Ingredients

3 cups frozen strawberries
¼ cup raw honey
¼ cup almond milk
1/3 cup almond milk yogurt, plain, unsweetened
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 teaspoons almond extract
¼ cup dark chocolate chips, optional
¼ cup slivered almonds, optional

Directions

Combine strawberries, honey, almond milk, yogurt, coconut oil and almond extract in a high-speed blender.

Blend for 30-60 seconds, until thoroughly combined.

Pour mixture into 6 popsicle molds and add sticks; freeze overnight.

If desired, melt chocolate chips and drizzle quickly over unmolded popsicles, sprinkle with almonds, and return to freezer until ready to serve.
