the weather has been so nice outside
so i'm gonna go on a walk right now i love it when the weather gets warmer because
then it means i can get out and take more walks and since the weather is getting warmer
let's talk about some good summer recipes so what i want to make today is popsicles
because it's it's summer we want something cold and something sweet too something
that will help us stick to our goals so i'm going to share with you guys my five
favorite popsicle recipes that are keto just got back from the walk it was a good walk i
love walking this time of year it really energizes me plus the good weather just helps motivate me
to get out there and get moving and i need to get out there in movie more mostly because summer
is coming we have like one and a half more months before summer officially starts and that brings
me to the sponsor of today's video which is noom noom is a health program created by behavioral
psychologists it helps you make good habits so you could eat better and lose weight and get
healthier it teaches us the why behind why we eat the way we do and what habits we have so we can
make changes it's not an extreme diet and no foods are off limits i've actually been really enjoying
it because it gives you these daily lessons and tools that you need to learn about nutrition
and progress and mindset issues that you can troubleshoot i feel like i've been getting a lot
out of it and it's been keeping myself accountable because every day i log in i take those lessons
and i track my water contract my food my exercise all that jazz so far i've lost four pounds
with using the program so i'm super excited because it's really just it's starting to cement
those habits within me like those healthy habits and it's helping me recognize my triggers of when
i do fall apart to get started all you do is take a health survey to help customize your program
and you really only need to spend around five to ten minutes a day on the program to see results if
you guys are interested in trying new click on the link down below to take noom's free evaluation and
get started on your program today now let's get into our popsicle recipes the first recipe we're
gonna make is a keto lemonade popsicle the keto lemonade popsicle is one of my favorites because
it makes up a big batch so you can make up 10 popsicles in just one batch of these and they're
super low calorie and low in carbs there's 0.5 net carbs per popsicle to make lemonade popsicles you
could either use fresh lemon juice so squeeze out some freshly made lemon juice or you could use
the concentrate too like the lemon concentrate that you find in the bottle either way you're
going to need one cup of lemon juice next you add four cups of water to that for sweetness we're
going to stir in some confectioner's powdered sweetener so i'm using confectioner's swerve
you could use whatever brand you want to just as long as it's the powder because if you use the
granulated kind it might not dissolve very well so you might just have little chunks of sweetener
in there it might be kind of like sandpapery as you're licking your popsicle a tip i have if you
don't have the powdered form of sweetener so you can take your granulated kind and then put it in a
food processor or a blender pulse it and then that will get everything into like little super fine
particles for the amount of sweetener i recommend either using a half of a cup or three quarter
cups it just depends on your taste preference the level of sweetness that you're at right now on
your keto journey and the next ingredient you're gonna need is two pinches of salt now you might
think this is really weird it's gonna make my lemonade taste salty it doesn't it's like just use
tiny pinches this is not a pinch of salt when you grab it like a huge handful of it you just want
like a little tiny pinch of salt do that in there twice salt is in there because salt works as a
flavor enhancer so it actually helps to enhance the sweetness so you could actually get away with
adding less sweetener than you would normally you want to whisk that all together and then
you pour this into your popsicle molds and i'll have the popsicle molds that i use for all these
recipes listed down below in the description box then we just freeze it overnight or until it's
hardened and your popsicles are good to go i usually store my popsicles in my popsicle mold
but you could actually take them out put them in a ziploc bag store them in the freezer like
that they should keep for like a month or so without having any freezer burn the macros are
super good on these popsicles for one popsicle it is 10 calories 0.2 grams of fat 0.5 total carbs
and 0.5 net carbs and then 0.2 grams of protein the next keto popsicle i'm going to show
you how to make is an avocado popsicle and i've talked about this one before on my channel
on my 10 ways to use avocado on the keto diet click up here if you guys are interested and want
to watch that video it has some fun creative ways that you can use avocado now this
recipe for the keto avocado popsicle isn't for everyone it might sound disgusting to
you um i don't think that my kids are really that keen on them either but i love them because
mostly i love avocado and it has this like it's a mildly sweet flavor too when you make this
and it's i think it's fabulous super creamy and easy to make and you can make it dairy free the
ingredients are simple all you're gonna need is two avocados you wanna peel de-seed the avocados
and place the flesh inside a food processor or blender then you're gonna add in half of a
cup of nut milk i'm using macadamia nut milk if you didn't want to make it dairy free you could
use heavy cream you could use that in this recipe and then for sweetness i'm pouring in a third
cup of sugar-free vanilla syrup i'm using chalk zero i'll have their information
down below if you're interested in them but you could always substitute with two to three
tablespoons of powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice along with one teaspoon of vanilla if you
didn't want to invest in sugar-free vanilla syrup we're gonna blend this together until it's
pureed and then pour it inside your popsicle mold you could either use a silicone mold or just
a popsicle tray mold whichever one you have will work and depending on the size of your
popsicle mold this recipe makes around five avocado popsicles and let's go over those
macros one avocado popsicle has 133 calories 9.4 grams of fat 19 total carbs but remember
avocados have lots of fiber in them so we're going to subtract out the fiber making the
net carbs 3.1 grams and protein is 1.3 grams so the macros are really good on these i
love them just because it's like you're using pretty much whole foods except for the
sweetener which you could omit if you wanted and then it's just it's simple like three
ingredients so easy and it's dairy free up next let's talk about some fudge bars
i love keto fudge bars they are so good and my kids actually love this recipe so it's
something that i do make every single summer this recipe starts with using six ounces of
sugar-free chocolate i'll have my favorite listed down below for you guys you want to just take
chunks of this and or you could use chips too if it's chocolate chips put it in your blender break
it up if it's like a larger bar that you're using like if you decided to use like baker's chocolate
or a 90 um chocolate bar and it's in a bar form just put it in the blender or a food processor
and give it a good pulse just to break it up into smaller chunks this will make the easier for
that chocolate to dissolve when you pour some hot liquid on it next in a small saucepan we are
going to add in some nut milk i'm using one and a half cups of macadamia nut milk but you could
use the nut milk of your choice along with one cup of heavy cream a quarter cup of powdered
sweetener and two tablespoons of unsweetened 100 cocoa powder make sure you get the unsweetened
kind because don't be fooled there's versions out there that actually have sugar in them so you're
going to bring this mixture to a light boil then remove it from the stove top and pour it into the
food processor or blender that has your chunked up chocolate and pour it on top of there next
we add in two teaspoons of vanilla and half a teaspoon of salt give it a good pulse just to
mix everything up get it all smooth and creamy pour it into your popsicle molds now i
should go over this tip i haven't done it yet when it comes to popsicle sticks it's a good idea
if you soak your popsicle sticks in water for at least like a half hour an hour or so um having
them soak in water they'll help absorb some of that water to act as a weight so that when
you insert your popsicle stick into the mold it's not going to pop back up or
go in like weird crazy directions so it will actually sink down in there
and stay in your popsicle while it's freezing after around 24 hours your popsicles
have hardened and they're ready to eat once again just store these in a ziplock bag
in the freezer they'll stay good for around a month or so the macros on these fudge
pops for one fudge pop it is 162 calories 16.2 grams of fat 12 grams of total carb
2.8 net carbs and 0.7 grams of protein up next we're going to be making keto
ice cream bars these aren't really a popsicle but it's in a popsicle shape so
i think it counts i love these ice cream bars because they're super easy to make and
they're creamy now to make these keto ice cream bars we're gonna start with adding
one pint of heavy cream to a large bowl along with a half of a cup of powdered sweetener
once again i'm using swerve but you could use whatever sweetener you want and then for that
vanilla flavor you're going to add in one and a half teaspoons of vanilla extract and then i like
to take it a step further and i got some vanilla cupcake flavoring drops from one-on-one flavors
or o flavors and i'm adding in seven drops of that into this recipe i'll have their information
listed down below in the description box if you're interested as well as a discount code and then to
help enhance that sweetness we're gonna add in a pinch of salt stir that together and then pour
it into your mold i'm using a silicone mold here because i want them to look like actual ice cream
bars so this will make around five ice cream bars you're gonna put it in the freezer and let
it harden overnight and then it's time to dip them in some melted chocolate if your
bars look like they're starting to melt in between or melt in the chocolate just put them
back in the freezer and then come back after 10 or 15 minutes and start over once your bars are
covered with chocolate to let that chocolate set usually they just kind of set on
their own as they're sitting there but you can put it back in the
freezer to speed up that process too talking about macros these bars are high in
calories thanks to the heavy cream so one bar is 616 calories if you wanted to decrease
that fat macro or decrease the calories then just cut it with some nut milk so maybe do like
half a cup of nut milk or one cup of nut milk along with the rest heavy cream the fat macro
it's 59.2 grams of fat per bar total carbs is 16.8 grams of total carbs net carbs is 2.8
grams and that carbs and protein is zero and the next keto popsicle recipe is actually a
variation of the keto ice cream bar we're gonna be making keto a mint chip ice cream bars this recipe
is so good i love the ice cream part of this so it's similar to the keto ice cream bar where we're
going to add in one pint of heavy cream once again you could cut it with nut milk if you needed and
then add in a quarter cup of powdered sweetener and for that peppermint flavor i'm going
to be using one and a half teaspoons of peppermint extract and then don't forget
your pinch of salt to enhance that sweetness mix that together pour it into your molds
freeze it overnight and then when you come back here comes the chocolate part we're taking
some sugar-free chocolate melting it down and drizzling it all over
our keto mint ice cream bars and just store these in a ziploc baggie
in the freezer just like the other ones this will make around five popsicles if you use
the silicone mold that i have linked down below and the macros for these are gonna be the same
as the ice cream bars because it's pretty much the same ingredient except for you're using
a peppermint extract instead of vanilla there you have it there are five keto popsicle
recipes that i hope you guys make this summer when the weather is warmer let me know down in the
comments what your favorite keto frozen treat is
