Special Notes
Feel free to use whatever sweetener you enjoy the most. To keep this recipe low carb, we used stevia or monk fruit. However, some people prefer this with honey or maple syrup.
You can also add in chia seeds and/or coconut flakes to add more fiber and healthy fats. You can also mix in some lemon, lime or orange juice for a citrus twist if you like. You can also add in a scoop or two of a high-quality protein powder if you want more protein. I like the Bone Broth Power protein here.
Dr Jockers Comments
This matcha coconut popsicles recipe is full of antioxidants and healthy fats and can be a cool and refreshing treat on a hot summer day. This recipe does have a small amount of natural caffeine from the green tea so enjoy them earlier in the day and take this into account if giving it to children.
Coconut milk provides healthy medium chain fats that help improve insulin and blood sugar levels and stimulate fat burning. Matcha green tea is full of powerful polyphenolic antioxidants including the catechin called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).
Researchers have found that matcha tea can have as much as ten times the amount of antioxidant compounds as a standard brewed green tea. I always recommend getting a high quality organic matcha green tea like this one here as the non-organic brands may have pesticide and herbicide residue on them.
This matcha coconut popsicles is totally worth the time and effort to make because I know you will LOVE IT! Let us know your experience with this recipe in the comments section below!!
Dr. J: You refer to a ‘dropper full’ of Stevia. How much is that in ml or how many drops would that equate to? Thnx
+-20 drops is 1 squirt liquid stevia.
