Strawberry Coconut Popsicles
This is a great alternative to store bought sugar and preservative filled alternatives. I love experimenting with different fruits and love the creamy Coconut flavour which is a fantastic non-dairy alternative.

Notes
Tip #1
Instead of blending the mixture to a smooth consistency, pulse to keep chunks of the fruit in the popsicle.
Tip #2
If you like a tart flavour to your popsicle, add a dash of freshly squeezed lime juice.
Tip #3
Add Chia seeds for extra fiber and texture.
Tip #4
This recipe can be replaced with any fruit, try pineapple for a pina colada flavour.
Tip #5
If using berries, always use organic as conventional berries are heavily sprayed with pestisides.
