Banana Chai Popsicles

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

Banana Chai Popsicles 1

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.
Serving size: 1 popsicle Calories: 29 Fat: 0 Saturated fat: 0 Trans fat: 0 Carbohydrates: 9 Sugar: 5 Sodium: 1 Fiber: 1 Protein: 0 Cholesterol: 0
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.

In honor of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month, I'm s In honor of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month, I'm sharing this Red Lentil Soup. I first posted the recipe on my blog years ago (it's been over a decade now!) after I learned how to make it while living in the Middle East. My Syrian ex-mother-in-law is an absolutely incredible cook. Not only does she enjoy feeding the people she loves, but cooking is truly an art form to her. She graciously took me into her kitchen and taught me so many traditional recipes like this one. πŸ’›

Not long ago, I re-photographed the dish and updated the post on my blog. You can find it on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/ramadan-red-lentil-soup/

And if you're interested, you can also check out that post to read more about my experience with Ramadan, and what foods are traditional. πŸŒ™

Ramadan Kareem to all who celebrate. 😘

I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do list! Do you remember my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats? Until today, the last time I posted there was February 2020! I even had content ready, recipes developed and photographed, and I have absolutely no excuse for myself lol. πŸ˜±πŸ™ˆπŸ˜…

More than just wanting to get back into posting regularly there, I wanted to give that space a fresh new look! I'm pretty thrilled that today it's done (with just a couple very minor decorative tweaks I still want to make). πŸ’—

Not only does Healthy Sweet Eats have a fresh new face, but today I shared my recipe for #sugarfree Berry Sorbet πŸ“πŸ«πŸ’, which uses frozen berries and comes together in just 5 minutes for the most delicious dose of antioxidants I've ever had.

Take a peek at the redesign and let me know what you think! 😘 Find this recipe on my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats (the direct link is in my link tree in my profile) --> https://www.healthysweeteats.com/sugar-free-berry-sorbet-recipe/

In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. πŸ₯° And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
This really isn't the prettiest dish. πŸ™ˆ But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. πŸ™ˆ But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. πŸ₯° Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! πŸ™ˆπŸ˜ I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. πŸ₯°β€οΈ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.
