Dairy-Free Strawberries and Cream Popsicles

7 / 1 / 187 / 8 / 18

Dairy Free Strawberries and Cream Popsicles | Mama Papa Bubba

Oh, how we love homemade popsicles in our house…  Summer weather strikes we begin the ongoing cycle of whipping them up in an attempt to stock up our freezer while devouring them on the daily.  And you know what?  I don’t mind one bit.  For the most part, they’re fairly nutritious and they’re so easy and fun to whip up with the munchkins.  

Some of our favourites from over the years?  

  • milk & cereal popsicles {strangely delicious}
  • chunky fruit popsicles {the prettiest popsicles you ever did see}
  • yogurt & granola popsicles {breakfast in popsicle form}
  • all-fruit watermelon popsicles {yum}
  • tropical fruit popsicles {these are incredible!}
  • healthy banana fudgesicles {sooo good}
  • polka-dotted blueberry lemonade popsicles {the absolute PERFECT popsicle for frozen blueberry lovers like me!}

The perfect addition to our favourites list?  These dairy-free strawberries and cream popsicles made with fresh, locally grown strawberries.  Gosh, they’re good!  I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like Sam slurping back his first strawberries and cream popsicle before in my life…  I don’t even know how to describe it.  Maybe a mixture of pure bliss and complete desperation all at once? {Hahaha!}

Now I probably wouldn’t let Grae and Sam eat these popsicles for breakfast like I do other varieties {popsicles can totally be breakfast!} because I see them as more of a treat, they are absolutely delicious and we *will* be making them all summer long, even if we have to start using typical grocery store strawberries.  

For the full recipe, check out our Strawberries and Cream Popsicles post over on the CBC Parents website.

Creamy Kiwi Avocado Pops

3 / 13 / 133 / 14 / 13

Creamy Kiwi Avocado PopsIMG 6576A couple of weekends ago, at our local farmer’s market, we came across a Abbotsford-based farmer selling my favourite fruit… kiwi.  While I had no idea that kiwi fruit was grown locally, I did know that kiwi is delicious and lasts a long time when properly kept, so I stocked up.  When we got home, the kiwi went into the back of the crisper and I forgot about them for a while.  Oops.

IMG 6580Upon rediscovering a stash of over a dozen kiwis, I decided we had to put {at least some of} them to good use asap.  I ran a few ideas past my sous chef and she very confidently decided on popsicles.  As you do.  We gathered up a few simple ingredients – the kiwi, some plain yogurt, a little bit of honey, and some pure apple juice, and got started.  

IMG 6591While I’m sure they would have been yummy given the original line up of ingredients, at the last minute I decided to add in an avocado…  Extra creaminess and extra nutrients equals a win-win, right?

IMG 6584My little helper threw everything into the food processor…

IMG 6585Stopping to sample her first ever taste of apple juice.  When the measuring cup was four fifths empty she asked, “Dump it in now, Mama?”  Hmmm… you think she enjoyed it?

IMG 6590After replacing our missing apple juice, we processed everything until smooth.

IMG 6595This was the result.  A super smooth, super creamy mixture that Miss G wanted to drink then and there.

IMG 6596We transferred the mixture into our makeshift popsicle moulds, which are still some of my very favourites despite the fact that we now have several proper sets.

IMG 6599Grae happily placed the lids on top and inserted the wooden popsicle sticks…

IMG 6604Several hours later, we had delicious, healthy popsicles Miss G couldn’t wait to get her little hands on.
