Not sure where you hang your hat at night,  but here in the Northeast we are getting into record high temperatures today and tomorrow. I have to say, we are NOT looking forward to the sticky HOT weather we are in for. In my household I am not sure if it's worse on me or my children, my youngest does not handle being sweaty very well. One way we try to beat the heat is to make one of our favorites...Fudge Pops!

Instead of heading to the grocery store and picking some up with a TON of unnecessary ingredients in them, you can just make them at home. This version was given to us by our HAPPYMAMA in San Diego, they are a hit with her children and I know they will be with your children too!

Great Greens Fudge Pops

Ingredients:

1 can of pure coconut milk

4 or 5 frozen cubes of Grrreat Greens or Grrreat Greens TOTS

½ cup of unsweetened cocoa

Sweeten to taste with either honey or palm sugar

Variations:

I purposely made them “green” pops by adding a tsp or so of Spirulina

I also added a tsp of vanilla to counter the strong Spirulina taste : )

Blend all together until smooth

Pour mixture in BPA free popsicle molds (Kidco makes a some)

Freeze and watch your kiddos devour them! The coconut milk brings a natural sweetness to them as well as richness. The Grrreat Greens and Palm Sugar or honey sweetens them without the use of refined white sugars. The chocolate just makes it familiar and yummy for the kids.
