Tropical Avocado Popsicles

17 July, 2016 by Giselle Rochford 29 Comments

I did something totally crazy this weekend and planned, tested and shot all of my recipes for the upcoming week. Spoiler alert: prepare yourself lotsa green goodies, starting with these tropical fruit avocado popsicles.

Can we have a moment of silence for the abundance of fresh fruit available at this time of year? And another for how cheap it all is? I picked up 8 avocados for less than 10 bucks at the grocery last week which is insaneeee. And I know they would have been even cheaper at the farmers’ market.

The only downside to this epic AF pricing is my tendency to go a bit overboard. I mean 8 avocados? What the eff do I need with 8 avocados? Especially when they’ll all invariably ripen at exactly the same time.

Well, to be honest, I had no idea when I bought them but the price was just too good to refuse. Obviously.

Luckily, there’s no shortage of avocado recipes hurtling around my brain at any point in time. So I decided to give a few of them a go this week including these tropical avocado popsicles for #IceCreamSundays.

Tropical Avocado Popsicles

Like most popsicles these avocado popsicles are pretty easy to make. All you need to do is blend your ingredients, pour into popsicle moulds, freeze and devour.

These popsicles are pretty forgiving and can be customized to suit your tastes, which is always good. To add the tropical fruit twist to my avocado popsicles I went with fresh pineapple, mango and kiwi. But peaches and nectaries would probably work really well here. Just be sure that all of your fruit is ripe and sweet.

I also originally tried these with coconut milk in place of coconut water but they were a little too rich and creamy for me. I much prefer icy popsicles. But feel free to use light coconut milk in place of the coconut water if you prefer.

And that’s it. Just a handful of ingredients and no added sugar and you can be cooling down this summer with these tropical avocado popsicles. Whether you live in the tropics or not.

    Yes, yes, yes! One of our favorite smoothie bowl flavors! We are so late to the game with popsicles this year, last year at this point we had been making them daily! This year well we still have the original batch in the popsicle maker, fail! Now that we are back in town we have to whip some up while it’s still summer!

For a really long time avocado on toast was a staple in my diet. I had it almost every Tuesday - mostly so I could have something to post on #toasttuesday. But when I took my extended break from social media last year I realised that I didn't actually want it week after week. And that just made honouring the real cravings 💯 times more satisfying🥑🍞💚

Quick thoughts on routines/comfort zones: I went skiing with some friends this weekend which is so far out of my comfort zone I still can't believe I went.
.
1. I get really anxious when I'm away from my apartment overnight (and this trip was ✌ nights)
2. New experiences scare me, especially when heights and falling are involved.
3. I'm scarily attached to my weekend routine and messing with that sends me into a tailspin.
.
Why I'm glad I went: The day started off horribly. There were tears and I had to be rescued by professionals a couple times but I kept going and by the end of the day I was having so much fun I didn't want to leave the slopes. I was also so tired after half a day of skiing I fell asleep before I could even miss my apartment. Lastly, I totally survived without my weekend routine. I have a packed lunch for the day (leftover from last week) I got the store this morning to stock up for the week and I feel more at peace and energized today than I have in too many Mondays to count.
.
All that to say: don't let your fears, routines or comfort zones stop you from experiencing everything life has to offer 💁🏾
