Superfood Popsicles
Superfood Popsicles
I love to cool down on hot summer days with frozen treats like popsicles, but don’t buy most store-bought versions anymore because they’re packed with tons of added sugar, high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, thickeners and fake flavors. I ate a TON of Bomb Pops when I was a kid… no wonder I had so many stomach aches back then! (FYI – Cellulose Gum has been linked to a variety of health issues – including intestinal inflammation).
Even those “Whole Fruit” and “Made With Real Fruit” bars are filled with added refined sugar, natural flavors, and emulsifiers like carrageenan… and despite all the pictures of fruit on the box, these are not real food.
Don’t waste your money on boxes full of chemicals like this, when it’s super easy to make frozen treats with healthy ingredients… even SUPERFOODS!
Here’s a great stainless steel popsicle mold to use (no plastic!), all you need is some good healthy ingredients and you’ve got SUPERFOOD POPS! Get the most nutritional punch per bite and try this new recipes!

Chronic inflammation can really kill your efforts to lose weight and is linked to most major diseases like heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes – and ginger is it’s nemesis. You’ll want to keep ginger by your side to keep inflammation from invading your body!

Chia seeds can grow 10 times their weight in size when combined with liquid which helps the body stay hydrated while fighting villains. The word “chia” comes from the Aztec word that means “oily” – The oils found in this small little round seed is the secret to its health benefits. Having the most content of omega 3 fatty acids of any plant food – they fight inflammation in the body reducing the chance for heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and depression.
