Ingredients

  • 2 cups strawberry or unflavored Lifeway kefir
  • 1 cup frozen mango
  • 1 cup strawberries (may need to add more liquid if using frozen)
  • 2-3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, optional

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend or puree until smooth. Make sure to shake up the kefir prior to pouring. If the mixture seems too thick, add about 1/2 cup of water. Taste test - if it seems too tangy, add more honey or preferred sweetener.
  • Pour the mixture into popsicle molds.
  • Refrigerate for at least 5-6 hours or overnight. Dip the popsicle mold into warm water for easy removal. Store in an airtight container in the fridge, separated by parchment paper so they don't stick. Enjoy!

Notes

  • These popsicles are best consumed within a few weeks. The probiotic potential will decrease the longer the kefir is frozen.
  • Kefir is tangy, which some people prefer. However, I taste tested with my kids and they wouldn't eat these popsicles without the honey. Therefore, I strongly recommend adding some in.
