Hi all! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. & I’m back today to share with you my latest frozen obsession. Today’s Strawberry Coconut Popsicles are dairy free, contain no refined sugar & are just 3 simple ingredients. I was so excited when I tasted them & found that they are creamy, sweet and oh so delicious. Exactly what I need after dinner to make me feel like I’m getting dessert. But really, they are only 2 points. Not too bad and I think all this counting is helping. Sure there are times when I really want to over-do it. But if I keep those to a minimum I will be a lot better off in the long run!
I have to admit that when it’s hot outside all I want to do is eat frozen treats. I crave nothing else but something cool & refreshing. But I hit a breaking point on the way I was eating & taking care of myself. So I started a plan where I’m counting points & watching what I’m eating. I have to say it was quite shocking when one starts researching how many points are allotted for this or that. It then becomes quite obvious where the last 30 lbs came from. The mindless eating of whatever I wanted, thinking moderation would help, actually was the problem. So since I still need to feel like I’m indulging, I have been coming up with new recipes that still satisfy that ever-present sweet tooth & are remarkably guilt free.

- 4 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 (13oz) can coconut milk
- ⅓ cup raw honey
- Combine all ingredients in a high powered blender
- Blend on high for several minutes or until completely smooth
- Pour mixture into pop mold & tap down to fill any air pockets
- Add top & popsicle sticks & freeze at least 4 hours but overnight is best before serving
- To remove, run the sides of the pop mold under water until the pops release
So yummy!
