Are you looking forward to warm sunshine summer days as much as I? I am delighted to share a recipe from my colleague Nicole Rodriguez, RDN, NASM-CPT using Liquid Sunshine! Seriously! Sunshine!

Nicole writes, ‘Living near the beach, I’m always trying out recipes that will cool you down without bloating you up.  With only four ingredients, these Vegan Chai Creamsicles fit the bill!  Jahmu, also known as Liquid Sunshine, adds a subtle spicy kick, while ripe avocado and banana deliver a boatload of creaminess.  As for their preparation, it’s about as easy as a stroll along the shore!”

Special equipment: Blender (I used the single-serve cup of the Ninja), popsicle molds

Servings: 4-6 popsicles

Ingredients:

• 2 small (6-7 inches) ripe bananas
• 1/4 C. ripe avocado
• 1 C. Vanilla almond milk (I used Califia Farms)
• Picture of liquid sunshine on a teaspoon
• 2 tsp. Liquid Sunshine (Caffeine Free Turmeric Ginger Instant Chai Mix)

Instruction:

Combine all ingredients in blender until smooth.  Pour into popsicle molds, taking care not to overfill.  Freeze overnight (at least four hours).  Remove from molds and serve.  Best when consumed within 1 week.
