Coconut Chocolate Chip Frozen Kefir Pops!

Looking for a tasty frozen treat?

Of course you are.

Trying to get your daily probiotics in?

Of course you are.

Kill two birds with one stone with this super simple recipe! It's so simple, so refreshing, and packed with probiotics thanks to Lifeway Kefir!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups plain Lifeway Kefir
  • 4 tbsp mini chocolate chips (I used Know Foods sugar-free chocolate chips)
  • 1/4 cup ChocZero coconut syrup*
  • optional: 1/2 cup canned coconut milk, adds to the creaminess
  • additional sweetener to taste*

Directions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and combine thoroughly. 
  2. Pour into a freezer safe container (or popsicle molds if you have them) and place in the freezer. 
  3. Take out and stir every 20-30 minutes for 2-4 hours to add to the creaminess. 
  4. If in a large container, allow to soften and cut into 4 squares, carefully use a sharp knife to make a dent to insert a popsicle stick (or just enjoy with regular utensils!)
*If you don't have ChocZero syrup, you could use any sweetener of choice and add coconut flavoring. You can use my code: healthyhappyandfree for a discount on ChocZero. Their syrups are thick, delicious, and sweetened naturally with monk fruit! 

*The mixture will lose sweetness after frozen so make it a little sweeter than you want the finished product. Mine had some tartness to it but I like it that way!

How easy was that? The hardest part is waiting for it to freeze! I drizzled some Eating Evolved Chocolate Spread on it and holy yum! Try these out and let me know what you think!

What is your favorite frozen treat?

Product Review: Tru Fru

If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
