It’s
December right now, but I’ve officially decided popsicles are great all
year round. Who doesn’t love popsicles, right? These particular
popsicles are great for boosting immunity or for when you or your kiddos
are already under the weather. They are packed full of hydrating and
immunity boosting ingredients, plus they taste awesome. Win!
Immunity Pops
Ingredients
10 oz. coconut water
2 large oranges, juiced (should make about 5 oz.)
1 1/2 c. tart cherries (mine were frozen)
1/4th c. raw cranberries (optional, I happened to get these in my weekly box)
2 Tbs. crystalized ginger, chopped or 1 tsp. raw ginger, minced
2 Tbs. Elderberry syrup
2 Tbs. probiotics, powder form
1-1 1/2 Tbs. manuka honey or raw honey
Juice
your oranges, they should make about 5 oz., then combine your orange
juice with the 10 oz. of coconut water so the total liquid equals 15 oz.
Add your liquid to a pitcher so it’s easy to pour. In a blender or food
processor add the rest of the ingredients, pour some juice in so it has
something to mix with and pulse or blend. Once ingredients are fully
blended, you can add everything back into the pitcher. Pour your yummy
immunity mixture into your Tovolo popsicle molds leaving
a bit of room at the top. Freeze and enjoy. If you have any liquid
left, it tastes like a nutrient-packed punch, so don’t hesitate to drink
up! Cheers to immunity!
