Healthy Avocado Popsicles
Refresh and Caffeinate With Green Tea Popsicles
Skip your afternoon cup of coffee and refresh with a frozen green-tea treat. Greek yogurt and ripe avocado lay the base for this creamy, fiber-filled popsicle, while caffeinated Japanese matcha powder provides the kick you need to beat the dreaded afternoon slump. Matcha is a special type of powdered antioxidant-rich green tea that's surprisingly high in fiber with almost zero calories. Sweeten things with up with vanilla extract and honey to your liking, and then freeze overnight for the best consistency.
