Cool down with a popsicle, but not one dripping with sugar water and artificial flavors. Instead, take a few minutes to pop out homemade fresh fruit popsicles that are devoid of fruit concentrates, artificial flavoring, and added sugar. This way, you can enjoy this cool treat any time of the day, from breakfast to dessert.

For some of you, avocado pudding is probably old news, but for others, this might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Avocado creates a silken texture that you have to taste to believe (and I promise you won’t notice any avocado flavor). Unsweetened cocoa powder or carob powder can be used instead of cacao powder, and 1/3 cup maple syrup or coconut nectar can be used in place of dates, just reduce or omit the water.
