Ingredients:
● 1/3 cup (50g) raw, unsalted cashews
● 1/3 cup (87 ml) water
● 5 tablespoons organic granulated cane sugar
● 1 cup (25 g) packed fresh mint leaves
● 1/2 can (200 ml) full-fat coconut milk
● 1 tablespoon chia seeds
● 1/2 tablespoon good-quality matcha powder
● Half a pinch of fine sea salt
● 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
Directions for Healthy Popsicle Recipe:
- Presoak the cashew nuts in boiling water for 1 hour if you need to make this recipe quickly. Otherwise, soak in normal water for 3-4 hours.
- Soak the chia seeds in 100ml of warm coconut milk for 1 hour or regular coconut milk for 3-4 hours or overnight.
- In a saucepan, add water and sugar; bring them to boil over medium heat, and then add mint leaves. Cook until mint leaves become wilted; remove from heat and strain the mixture. Squeez all extracts from mint leaves and discard the remaining leaves.
- Drain the soaked cashews and add to a high-speed blender with mint-sugar syrup; blend until smooth. Add the remaining 100 ml coconut milk, matcha powder, sea salt, and peppermint extract if using; blend again until silky smooth.
- Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl; add soaked chia seeds and stir until everything becomes homogenous; that may take 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze until semi-frozen, depending on your freezer’s time. Then insert popsicle sticks and freeze for 2 hours or several days.
- Before serving, let the popsicles soften slightly at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Then carefully remove from popsicle molds and serve immediately.
