SUPERFOOD DOUBLE CHOCOLATE POPSICLES

SUPERFOOD DOUBLE CHOCOLATE POPSICLES

Today has been a whirlwind but also super chill. I had a bunch of social plans - beach day with comfy inspiring friends, late afternoon tea with a wise lady bud, and then a date with a new person - but I woke up feeling anxious and decided to stay in my house all day. Sometimes I just need to do my hermit mode. I would confidently say it's worked out though. I got some work done (i.e. this recipe), painted more of my room white, listened to a bunch of great albums and podcasts, and I think this evening I will do some yoga and have a bath. I just had a cyber "chat" with my ex partner and it didn't totally petrify me so that's progress too. One foot in front of the other, right? I have been trying to take it easy this week because I have my new tattoos that are healing, so I can't really sweat or be in the sun. For those of you who know me even a little bit: you know that sweating and sunbathing are all I really do in the summer. So I have been actively trying to stay cool and in the shade. I miss the gym and biking, but it's nearly been a week so I can get back to 'em soon. I'm not good at sitting still.

Enough of me, though. On to popsicles.

These are DELISH; packed with powerful foods like turmeric and mushrooms - sounds gross and weird, I know, but trust me - they taste like chai-y chocolate ice cream pops. This recipe was originally gonna be some simple chocolate milk but then I started added a bunch of ingredients to it and it became super rich and thick so I figured... it's hot out... may as well make these into ice cream!!? And I did. Then I dipped them in more chocolate for good measure and here we are. Have them any time of day, eat as many as you like, it's ALL GOOD, babe.
