How to Make Raw Cacao, Banana & Almond Popsicles
One Day Before
1. Soak 2 cups of organic almonds overnight. Rinse and drain.
2. Peel 4 ripe organic bananas and cut bananas into pieces. Place in a ziplock bag and put in the freezer overnight.
Prep Day
3. Place the following into a high-speed blender:
– Soaked organic almonds (water drained)
– Frozen bananas (already peeled and frozen)
– 1/2 cup filtered water
– 2 Tablespoons organic raw cacao powder
– 2 Tablespoons organic raw cacao nibs
– 2 Tablespoons raw honey (optional) Note: For vegans, use 2 teaspoons of organic stevia powder instead.

Blend all ingredients until creamy and smooth.
4. Blend until creamy and smooth.
(Note: I use a Vitamix blender but you can use any high power blender. If your blender is a bit old or not feeling its best, then use 1 cup of water instead of 1/2 cup and add the frozen bananas slowly.)
Place the blended mixture into molds then freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
5. Pour blended mixture into cups or molds. Add a wooden stick or holder to make the popsicle easy to hold once it’s set.
(Note: I bought these molds at a Dollar store. I also use cups and non-chemically treated wooden spoons sometimes too.)
6. Once the molds are filled, place them into the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight.
7. Now they’re ready to eat! Simply pop the frozen treat out of the mold and you’ve got your own homemade healthy popsicle!
(Note: If the popsicle doesn’t “pop” out easily, let it stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes and try again.)
