Matcha Coconut Popsicles {+Giveaway}
These matcha coconut popsicles are a refreshingly healthy green popsicle that will cool you down as the summer heat subsides!
Right at the end of summer…the last week of it that is, was when I felt like I was on vacation!!
These matcha coconut chia popsicles have been a great companion as I frolic around. Have you tried matcha green tea powder? It is finely ground green tea leaves with lots of health benefits. I have been experimenting with it ever since this Matcha Genoise Cake a few months ago. But it wasn’t until recently that I started using organic matcha in non-baked goods. It’s a great addition to smoothies, ice tea lattes and of course frozen popsicles! Given the energy boosting benefits of organic matcha, it is no wonder, these popsicles have been my BFFs this past week.
I’m going to keep this short and continue with my frolicking status this week since it’s really short lived. Of course I will be back to my senses soon and I will not be saying TGIF this week but until reality kicks in…I will be relaxing in the sun with one of these healthy green popsicles.

Girl, I am the SAME WAY whenever my boss is away. He was just in SF and he’s going to Qatar on Friday for a few days, and you can bet I’m going to be taking advantage of it to get some last summering in!
I hope some of it involves slurping on these popsicles. LOVE matcha! And because it’s green, it’s totally health food, right?
Yay!! We grad students are the same lol! You need the extra time to pack anyway :p
Absolutely you should enjoy the end of summer before Autumn arrives!! And eat as many popsicles as you can, while you’re at it!
I’ve still never tried matcha, but anything with coconut milk in gets my vote!
