5 INGREDIENT BLUEBERRY & COCONUT YOGHURT POPSICLES (DAIRY FREE, VEGAN, CANDIDA FRIENDLY)

This week’s temperatures have been soaring here in the UK, which has been a perfect excuse to stock the freezer up with even more popsicles!

 

 

I have owned up in my previous posts that I’m totally addicted to homemade lollies (you can find my recipe for strawberry popsicles here and breakfast lollies here) and as you can see, this addiction is here to stay (well, at least for the summer!)

 

 

This easy recipe has been tried and tested on my ‘home squad’ (my partner and my 8 year old daughter), who are a very hard crowd to please sometimes. Luckily, they both gave it thumbs up, so I hope you like it too. You only need a handful of ingredients (5 to be precise) and just a little bit of patience whilst the lollies are setting in the freezer. To make this recipe candida friendly, I used xylitol for sweetness, however maple syrup, honey or coconut sugar will work well too, so feel free to use any of the sweeteners of your choice.

 

 

Start by combining frozen blueberries, lemon juice, vanilla extract, water and xylitol in a small pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for around 3 minutes. Take the mixture off the heat and set aside to cool down.

 

 

In the meantime, to make it easier and mess-free to fill the popsicles with yoghurt, place the coconut yoghurt in a ziplock bag, snip a little corner of the bag with scissors and set aside.

 

 

Using a spoon, scoop the cooled blueberry mixture into the popsicle moulds quarter of the way up.

 

 

Now fill the lolly moulds with coconut yoghurt all the way up by gently squeezing the yoghurt from the ziplock bag.

 

 

Using a lolly stick, gently mix the blueberry mixture with yoghurt inside the popsicle moulds.

 

 

Insert the lolly sticks in the centre of each popsicle mould, cover with a lid and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.

 

 

The tip I’ve learned along the way – when you take the popsicles out of the freezer, let them thaw for around 5-7 minutes before removing them out of the moulds. This way they will just ease out of the moulds without having to force them out too much. In the past I tried placing the moulds into lukewarm water for a few seconds but this method didn’t work well for me – the lollies started melting at the bottom whilst I was still struggling to get them out of the moulds.

 

 

I hope you enjoy this recipe and would love to hear from you in the comments.

 

Have a great day.

 

Healthfully yours,

#ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there wer #ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there were nowhere near as many plant-based options in the supermarkets as there are this year. Personally, I find it so much easier to eat plant-based now when there's such an abundance of delicious vegan products, even in the local shops.This @coopuk GRO plant based  mushroom & spinach Wellington from my local Co-op tasted absolutely divine - 'meaty' & creamy on the inside & crunchy & crisp on the outside👌🏻 It's gone down like a treat with my (rather fussy) daughter too, which makes me one happy mum, I must say! ☺️I'm so pleased that Co-op are extending their plant-based offer this January & nearly doubling the choice of their vegan GRO products from winter-warming spiced pie to Asian-inspired noodles, there will be plenty of choices to suit all taste buds 😋 This makes eating plant-based so easy & rather exciting too. Pop in to your local Co-op and check it out for yourself 😉#Veganuary #ItsWhatWeDo
#ad Craving some cheesy comfort foods this Veganua #ad Craving some cheesy comfort foods this Veganuary? No problem 😎 This quick & easy vegan broccoli & cheese soup that I made with @violife_foods Epic Grated Mature Cheddar is comfort food at its best, especially during these cold winter days. Thick, creamy & bursting with flavours, it's one of those easy recipes you'll go back to again & again (full recipe below) 🍲If you haven't yet tried @violife_foods vegan products (free from dairy, lactose, soya & gluten), I'd really encourage you to do so. In my humble opinion, Violife cheese alternatives are one of the best at the vegan isle. You can find Violife products in Asda, Coop, Holland & Barrett, Sainsbury's, Tesco & Waitrose. If you need more vegan recipe inspiration, head over to Violife website.If you fancy winning a goodie bag from @violife_foods, just try their Epic Grated Mature or Grated Original, create a recipe,  and share your recipe on Instagram. That's it. Best of luck!#Violife #gratedchallengeBroccoli & cheese soup recipe (vegan)1tbsp olive oil
