Banana Chai Popsicles

July 30, 2015 By faith 4 Comments

These Banana Chai Popsicles combine the natural sweetness of banana with the aromatic spices of chai for a unique, refreshing popsicle.

When it’s unbearably hot/humid outside, there comes a point when I don’t even feel like eating…nothing sounds good.

(And that’s saying a lot coming from a girl who likes food.)

I know I’m not alone in this. For most of us, frozen treats are another story though. In the throes of summer’s heat, popsicles, ice cream, and smoothies are a welcome cool down.

The only way I can really justify eating popsicles all day long is by making them full of fruit like these pops. Banana blends up to a super creamy consistency and its natural sweetness is nicely offset by the spices in masala chai. They’re dreamy.

Banana Chai Popsicles
Author: Faith
Prep time: 5 mins
Total time: 5 mins
Serves: 7 popsicles
Sweet and creamy banana blend with spicy chai into a unique, refreshing popsicle!
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) very strong brewed chai tea, cooled (see Note)
  • 2 large very ripe bananas (with lots of brown spots), peeled
Instructions
  1. Add the chai tea and bananas to a blender or food processor and process until completely smooth. Taste and add stevia or honey if desired (the sweetness of the banana is enough for me).
  2. Spoon the banana mixture into popsicle molds, making sure not to fill the molds over the “fill” line, since liquid expands as it freezes. (My molds are 2 1/2 oz/75 ml and I got exactly 7 popsicles.) Gently tap the mold a couple times on a hard surface to help any air bubbles escape, then insert the sticks.
  3. Transfer to the freezer and freeze completely, about 3 to 4 hours, depending on the size of your popsicles and how cold your freezer is. To easily unmold the popsicles, dip the plastic bottoms in warm water and they should slide right out.
  4. Once unmolded, wrap each popsicle individually in plastic wrap and store in the freezer.

Notes
To Brew Very Strong Chai Tea: I mix 1 cup of boiling water with 2 tablespoons looseleaf chai tea (or 2 to 3 chia teabags) and let it steep for 15 minutes before straining or removing the teabags.

Instagram post 2197323051132172989_193133428 After a trip to London a couple years ago, I came home in love with buttermints. 😍 Buttermint candy was so different there than what I was familiar with (it wasn't the soft, colorful peppermint bites that we have here). It was more similar to a mellow-flavored peppermint patty (yuuuuum!); it had a thin layer of chocolate coating a creamy mint/vanilla/butter-flavored interior. I wasn't able to find that candy anywhere after that, but I did what I do and replicated the flavor into a keto treat, lol. 😋👏🏻 Chocolate + mint is one of my favorite holiday flavor combinations and in this light + fluffy cheesecake mousse, it's absolutely perfect. 🙌🏻

Instagram post 2195848590159668337_193133428 When my ex-husband and I were first married there was a time when we had literally no money. We were living in Amman, Jordan at the time. We had a single can of tuna to eat and not even a can opener to open it. I was a baby, still in law school, and he was also a student. I remember being so ridiculously happy though, laughing as he used a knife to pry the can of tuna open. (And that was the best can of tuna I've ever tasted, lol!) We ended up going to stay with his family in Damascus, Syria.
.
One of the memories that sticks out to me most from my time in Damascus is a taxi ride home. We had been at the market all afternoon and it was rush hour. Taxis were full and it was a very long walk home.
.
Finally we were able to hail a taxi, and the driver asked if it was ok that his daughter was asleep in the backseat. My ex took the front seat and I got in the back. The little girl, about 2 years old, lifted her blonde curly head inquisitively, looked at me with big blue eyes, smiled sleepily, and nestled her head into my lap.
.
On the way home they chatted in the front seat (in Arabic, so I only picked up bits and pieces of the conversation), and it was only later that Mike told me the taxi driver had several kids and was having trouble making ends meet.
.
The driver refused to take money for the ride home, saying I was a guest in their country. And not only that, but he invited us to his home for lunch (lunch in the Middle East means a spread of no less than 10 homemade dishes; it's an ordeal, and it's how you show respect and honor to a guest). That level of hospitality is so unprecedented and unwarranted, and completely humbling to me.
.
Two things I learned from that: 1) happiness is a choice that has absolutely nothing to do with circumstances and 2) you don't need to have extra to share with someone else. I'm convinced that in the end, #kindness is the only thing that means anything. ❤️
