Cherry Blast Popsicles are the perfect answer to the heat of summer. This vegan recipe is dairy-free and sugar-free, and great for a healthy frozen treat.
It’s been so hot already this summer, so I decided to make some super easy popsicles. I just blended together a can of coconut milk with some defrosted frozen cherries, dates, plus some dried vanilla bean powder (or vanilla extract). I put some frozen wild blueberries in for extra flavor and nutrition:
Ideally, you’d have some molds in which to pour the mixture and make a traditionally shaped popsicles:
Otherwise, feel free to pour the blended ingredients into cups with spoons as the sticks!
This treat is so perfect for a hot summer afternoon or evening:

I like the idea for the new voting system! See you next week 🙂

Hey Carrie! These all look delish! I think I may have submitted my entry incorrectly. I linked my post to the HVF page on your website but my entry isn’t showing up in the thumbnails. Did I miss a step?
Hi Alison! Did you use this link: https://www.cleaneatingkitchen.com/2013/07/12/best-healthy-vegan-friday-recipes-cherry-blast-popsicles/ and scroll down past the thumbnails to where it says add your link?
I sure didn’t! Whoops! Thank you so much, Carrie!! 🙂
Such delicious looking food I don’t know where to start first! It’s fun to see how many people are cooking and eating healthy plant based foods. I love it!
Thanks so much for the work you do in providing us with these great recipes. And the popsicle recipe sounds great.
The falafel waffles are blowing my mind!
I know, right? I made a version of them yesterday, but they need some kind of sauce because they are a bit dry on their own. The flavor was awesome, though, and a great alternative to a sweet waffle.
Hi Carrie! Your popsicles sound DELICIOUS!! I am such a sucker for cherry and I bet those are packed with cherry goodness 😉 Thanks for featuring my recipe as well 🙂
Thanks for hosting!
Oh your popsicles sound great! I’m going to try them without dates… I need to get some molds first though.
Glad you are enjoying your summer!!! Yay =)
I like the sound of the voting system too! Shaking things up =)
I could do with a Cherry Blast Popsicle now 🙂 Sounds delicious!
