I know it says for kids but this sounds really good! It’s going to be real hot tomorrow here in Ohio which I think will make for the perfect time to try!

Perfect! I bought popsicle molds a few days ago and they’ve been sitting empty on the counter while I’ve been looking for some Paleo-friendly popsicle ideas. Thanks! :)

Those look great! We love to make “fat pops” with coconut milk, avocado, coconut oil and blueberries. My 18mo LOVES them.

These look great! Do you have a specific recipe or ratios you use?

We use an electic ice cream maker to make frozen yogurt (in 25 minutes) using very similar ingredients along with honey. Just google “SCD frozen yogurt” and you’ll discover a ton of delicious variations. And ditto on the relief at being able to serve this instead of the store bought frozen yogurts having questionable ingredients.

Yum! Would cream or buttermilk work just as well?

Yes! I often blend frozen berries and heavy cream in a blender, pour into popsicle molds and it works beautifully!

Making right now! Can’t wait for the kids to try them. I’m using Goats Milk yogurt Bc of my son’s dairy allergy.
