NUTRIENT PACKED INGREDIENTS

HEALTH BENEFITS:

COCONUT CREAM/MILK. Coconut cream and milk is known for its abilities to bring rich nutty flavors and creamy texture to either your sweet or savory dishes. It also brings a profile of healthy fats, vitamins and minerals to the table. With over 20% of your RDI in Iron, Magnesium, Copper, Manganese and Selenium, it's packed with health boosting goodies. Additionally, studies have shown a link to coconut and cholesterol/heart health benefits [1, 2, 3].

LIME. Though small, limes are loaded with nutrients - particularly vitamin C. This key nutrient is essential in boosting the immune system. Limes are also a good source of antioxidants, defending cells against free radicals. Both vitamin C and antioxidants may promote healthy skin.[4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11].

VTC C8 MCT OIL. A medium-chain triglyceride (MCT ) is extracted from coconut and palm kernel. This super fat provides quick, stable energy to the brain and body, promotes healthy weight loss, boosts gut and immune health, as well as supports healthy cholesterol [12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17]

1 tbsp. VTC C8 MCT Oil
Stevia - sweetened to your taste

1/2 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
1 tsp. Lime Zest

INSTRUCTIONS:

Prepare an 8-10 cavity popsicle mold.

Pour combined popsicle mix into your molds, placing a popsicle stick in the center of each mold.
Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours to set the popsicles.
Once frozen, release popsicles, running warm water over end of mold to help release if needed.

Dip the top of the frozen popsicle into lukewarm water for 2 seconds, then quickly dip into shredded coconut and lime mix.

STORAGE:

Popsicles may be stored in the mold within an airtight container for up to 8 weeks in the freezer. This will help maintain creaminess and prevent crystal formation.
