Even though summer is coming to an end, I couldn’t resist posting another popsicle recipe before fall really gets here. In south Texas, we are farrrr from fall and I am still sweating to death pretty much every time I go outside, so these still sound amazing to me. I originally wanted to make an espresso popsicle because I thought it would be a healthy, delicious way to get a nice caffeine boost in the afternoons, and I was right. These are really good and definitely do the trick if you need an afternoon pick-me-up like I normally do 😉
These are the popsicle molds I have and I love them. They’re dishwasher safe and I like that you can use your own wooden popsicle sticks with them. They’re much better than the first molds I bought.
I used whole milk for this batch of popsicles, but you could easily sub full-fat canned coconut milk for a vegan option and still get the healthy fats that make these popsicles a satiating snack. These would even be a great option in the morning if you would rather have your caffeine in popsicle form. Enjoy!
- 1 ripe banana
- 1-2 shots of espresso (or 1-2 oz coffee or cold brew) caffeine content is totally up to you!
- 1 cup milk (I used whole milk, but any milk will work)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Blend all ingredients in a blender
- Pour into popsicle molds
- Freeze for at least 8 hours
- Enjoy!
- Use full-fat canned coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative, or regular coconut milk
