Matcha Chocolate Icypoles (Popsicles) with Mint, Coconut & Avocado

Ingredients

Ice-blocks (makes about 6)

o 1 ripe avocado

o 1 ripe banana

o 1 cup rice milk (or any other plant-based milk)

o 1 - 2 tsp matcha powder (depending on how strong you like it!)

o 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint

o 1 tbsp lime juice

o 3 tbsp coconut water (we used Natural Raw C)

o 1 tbsp maple syrup

o 1 tsp chia seeds

Cacao-Choc Sauce

o 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut oil melted

o 1/4 cup cacao powder

o 2 tbsp maple syrup

Method

1. Blend together all ingredients until smooth.

2. Pour into popsicle moulds and place in freezer overnight or until completely set

3. In the morning remove from moulds (you may need to run some warm water over them so they come out) and set aside.

4. For the cacao-choc sauce, mix all ingredients together so that there are no lumps. If you are finding it difficult you may need to place the ingredients in a saucepan over low heat to achieve a smooth texture.

5. Drizzle the tips of each popsicle with the choc. sauce (and any other toppings you like! You could add desiccated coconut, nuts, goji berries etc.)
