Coconut Ginger Turmeric Popsicles

We like to think of these as evolved creamsicles. The rich coconut milk lends a satisfying creaminess that blends so nicely with the pepper, warm vanilla, and cinnamon. And the gorgeous bright color? That’s the anti-inflammatory turmeric. 


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • 4 tablespoons of honey
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • 4 tablespoons of honey
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

DIRECTIONS

  1. Add all ingredients to a high powered blender and blend until smooth.

  2. Pour the mixture into a popsicle mold and let them sit in the freezer for 1 hour.

  3. After 1 hour has passed, insert the popsicle sticks and let them freeze for another 4 hours or until completely frozen.
