Harlyn and I felt like getting a little creative in the kitchen and decided to make some fun chocolate cups! She’s obsessed with the color our @morlife_ blue Spirulina Powder 💙so of course put it to good use. Better yet, my critic of a husband gave it 3 stars (he works off the Michelin 3 star system and trust me, a harsh judge.) 😉 Sweet, fruity, chocolatey and full of texture! 🤤

🥜 BASE 🥜
I actually made my Bliss balls at the same time and just used one ball for each base:

1 cup oats
1/2 cup crunchy nut butter
1/4 cup almonds (any nuts)
1/2 cup dates
1/2 cup coconut
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
a few dark chocolate chunks

Feel free to add any other ingredients, nuts, seeds etc. Blend in the food processor, combine and form into balls. Press one into moulds or muffin tin and freeze to set. Then mix the Blueberry Layer.

BLUEBERRY LAYER
1 tbsp of Blue Spirulina Powder
1/2 cup blueberries
2 cups cashew nuts (or 1 cup of any nut butter really)
1 ripe banana
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
2 tbsp of shredded coconut
5 tbsp of maple syrup
1/4 cup oat milk
1 tsp vanilla

Food process the Blueberry Layer until smooth. Add to the frozen base and set back in the freezer.

🍫 DARK CHOC LAYER 🍫
1 block melted dark chocolate

✅ Once frozen, simply add melted dark chocolate and any of your decorative ingredients as topping! Freeze to set and enjoy!

Berry Yogurty Icy Pops https://daegancoyne.com/2021/04/21/berry-yogurty-icy-pops/ https://daegancoyne.com/2021/04/21/berry-yogurty-icy-pops/#respond Wed, 21 Apr 2021 16:06:10 +0000 https://daegancoyne.com/?p=6754

A summer (and 2 year old) fave. A healthy option for those summer days and satisfying for all members of the family. Satisfying any sugar cravings mid afternoon, it’s also packed with vitamin c, a good source of fibre, and probiotics. As a mom, I’m always sneaking in added nutrition whenever I can. These are no exception. This time I’ve used a kid favourite, Morlife Immune Kidz which each serving providing:

  • over 100% daily vitamin C needs
  • Vitamins A, C, D & folate
  • Iodine and Potassium
  • Herbal extracts including Elderberry & Echinacea
  • Shiitake & Maitake Mushrooms
  • 1.8 billion probiotics
  • Antioxidants
  • Suitable for +12 months
  • Yummy Tropical Taste as good as cordial or juice
  • Only 1.2g sugar per serve

Strawberry Blueberry Cream Icy Pops

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cups frozen blueberries
  • 3/4 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2.5 cups of coconut yogurt (can use any kind)
  • 4 tbsp of almond milk (can use any kind)
  • 2 serves Morlife Immune Kids (tropical flavour) – optional*

Instructions

  1. In separate saucepans, heat the blueberries & the strawberries over medium heat adding half the honey to each. Simmer for a few minutes then mash the fruit to create a jam. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Whisk the yogurt and the milk together.
  3. When the fruit is cool, gently add to the yogurt mix. If you want to make your icy pops have a neat swirl, use a knife to run a few lines folding the fruit into the yogurt without over mixing.
  4. As a parent, I am often sneaking in some added nutrition whenever I can. For these, I added a couple serves of Morlife Immune Kids in a yummy tropical flavour. Similarly, lightly folds into yogurt mix for beautiful presentation BUT if you mix it all, it will still taste as good.
  5. Scoop into your icy pop trays and let freeze overnight.
  6. To remove from the moulds, let sit in warm water for a minute or two.

Enjoy.
