Cooling Berry Coconut Popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 can coconut cream (cooling and grounding)

- 10–15 strawberries (depending on size)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or sweetener of choice
Directions
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze until solid — usually about 4–6 hours. Then enjoy a delicious, cooling treat that supports your body through the summer season.
These popsicles are not only a sweet indulgence but also a smart Ayurvedic choice. Coconut cream provides healthy fats and natural cooling properties, while berries are rich in antioxidants and gentle on digestion.
