I am protesting all of the pumpkin spice recipes I am seeing right now with this popsicle recipe. IT IS STILL 30 DEGREES OUT. IT IS STILL AUGUST. It’s hot. I don’t want pumpkin spice anything. I want popsicles for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
So here I have a late summer popsicle recipe made with peaches, hibiscus and all of that basil that is growing like crazy right now. My last popsicles were a total hit (I mean how can roasted banana and almond butter not be?) so I went with a more refreshing and fruity flavour for these which is perfect for those end of summer days.
Are you ready to give them a go?

Hi Friends!! Happy Thursday!
We are heading off to Hawaii for a wedding today and I couldn’t be more excited! I am talking sun, sand and hopefully some really awkward tan lines. coming. my. way.
We chose to stay at an airbnb which I love because being able to cook my own meals wins over relying on hotel food and eating out every time. I know that Maui will have GREAT food (I already booked us an organic farm tour and lunch) but I still want to be able to prepare my own food from time to time. I have a feeling this refreshing matcha basil limeade might make it into the Hawaii mix. Are you ready to give this a try?

Do you ever just throw things in the blender and hope it turns out? Well guess what- you’re not alone! And sometimes it’s hard to choke down that brown sludge coloured smoothie you thought would turn a beautiful purple colour(but you do anyways because there are so many adaptogens and expensive ingredients in there). But NOT this time! This time I have you covered. A peach basil and almond smoothie bowl that tastes and looks delicious (no brown sludge here thank you very much!). Side note- For more tasty smoothie recipes check out Banana-less Green Smoothie and my Blood Orange Smoothie.
This smoothie bowl is sweet, healthy, creamy and simple to make. This recipe is so easy it takes just five minutes to prepare, plus/minus a few minutes depending on if you style your bowl with perfectly placed toppings and photograph it in just the right natural light (oh hiiii that’s meeeee). Smoothies are also more fun when they are in bowl form. Fact. You can eat them with a spoon and and add endless amounts of toppings to take your smoothie from snack to full on meal. Some of my favourite smoothie toppings are- frozen berries, hemp seeds, cacao nibs, toasted coconut, nuts and seeds, any kind of nut butter, coconut yogurt, coconut butter, rose petals, spices like cinnamon, ginger or cardamom.
