there are AMAZING. I’m really thinking about quitting my job (ha! I work for myself. I really pulled a quick one over.. me..) and opening up a popsicle shop. OK, so, my cucumber-strawberry margarita popsicles were a little boozy to really take shape, and my mango-chile were too icy, but that’s not the point. First my coconut-matcha popsicles were da bomb (dot com), and now these, which I just.. I don’t have words for these. No, wait, I do. They are the atomic bomb dot com, the be-all-end-all of peanut butter and chocolate treats, the best damn popsicles–vegan or otherwise. They’re creamy and nutty, cool and rich, chocolately and a bit crunchy. I literally brought the first one to O while he was in the shower and, through a mouthful of Reese’s-inspired goodness–nay, greatness–I begged him to try a bite. He was in the shower, people. In the shower. But he did, and he understood that I’m not crazy (at least not in relation to this popsicle), and then he begged for another one. But I hadn’t taken pictures yet, so we just held on. The worst 24 hours of my life. I don’t know how much more hyperbolic I have to get to convince you to try these guys. Just know that if you ever reached for the Reese’s in that bowl of tiny candies whilst trick-or-treating, if you ever wondered if you could “pull off” a peanut butter and chocolate sandwich for lunch (you can), or if this divine combination of flavors ever sang to you, you’ll love these. The coconut milk is rich but not too coconutty and pairs absolutely beautifully with the peanut butter–a bit of Thai inspiration there!–and the decadent chocolate shell just takes it over the edge. But you know what?
Coconuts are highly nutritious and rich in fibre, vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous Peanut butter is rich in protein, fiber, healthy fats, potassium, antioxidants, magnesium and vitamin E, among others. Dark chocolate is rich in potassium, magnesium, iron, copper, theobromine, and antioxidants.
So basically, these are health food. Eat them all day, everyday.* *I in no way support actually eating these all day, everyday, as tempting as that might be! Throw in a few bunches of kale every so often……….not a doctor
