Herbal Electrolyte Ice Pops
Hydrating, mineral-rich, and perfect for kids (or adults who appreciate a frozen treat that's actually good for them). These replace the neon-colored popsicles with real fruit and real electrolytes.
Time: 10 minutes active, 4-6 hours freezing · Yield: 6-8 popsicles
Ingredients
- ●2 cups coconut water
- ●1 cup fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, mango, watermelon, or a mix)
- ●Juice of 1 lime
- ●1 tablespoon raw honey
- ●1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ●2 tablespoons brewed and cooled herbal tea (peppermint or hibiscus work well — for color and flavor)
- ●Optional: pinch of magnesium powder
Method
- Blend the coconut water, fruit, lime juice, honey, salt, tea, and magnesium (if using) in a blender until smooth.
- Pour into popsicle molds. Insert sticks.
- Freeze for 4-6 hours until solid.
- To unmold, run the outside of the mold briefly under warm water.
- *Variations:**
- **Strawberry-Mint:** Strawberries + peppermint tea
- **Mango-Lime:** Mango + extra lime juice
