🍊🍫🍊🍫Summer is here and we're going to need some deliciousness to cool down with. Who's with me?????🍊🍫🍊🍫
Quick update for anyone following my injury recovery: I'm still on the mend and thankfully my knee injury is almost healed enough that I can stop walking like a peg-leg pirate and take the stairs like a normal human being, yay!!!
The down side is that unfortunately I'll still have to wear the cast for another few weeks. I'm not going to lie though, doing everything with one hand is starting to realy drive me insane. I miss my arm. 😢😢😢💪 (I may not make it, lol)
These summery treats are pretty simple and straight forward. Actually, they were my sisters’ idea. My sisters found these orange flavored chocolate bars that they fell in love with and ate all the time for a long period of time. Even after the hype started to fade about the chocolate bars they were insistent that I should make something inspired by them. So, of course, I did because I love to make people happy with food, especially my family peoples.
Anyway, these pops are made with coconut milk instead of cream and I used raw sugar and greek yogurt too, so as far as popsicles go these are pretty healthy. If you are a fan of creamsicles then you’re going to love these. 😋
I know, I know, the ARE dipped in chocolate but there's a to of anti-oxidants in chocolate so again, healhty, right??? 😉
Okay guys, I hope you all have a great day and enjoy something yummy.
Oh yes, love the flavors. Recipe please! Looks refreshing. Coconut milk - interesting.
I'd be happy to share it with you @tesscooks4u! Thank you so much for all you awesome comments and kind words all the time!
Ingredients
3 large oranges, washed
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
1/3 cup sugar in the raw (aka turbinado sugar)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (175g) Semi-sweet dark chocolate
Instructions
Melt chocolate in a double-boiler and dip pops. Sprinkle with zest if desired and serve immediately or store in an air-tight container in freezer until ready to serve.
Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! I'll try this for sure. Have a friend coming over for dinner next week who cannot have all sort of ingredients, but this she is allowed to eat.
damn it looks delicious, is it less sugar and calories?
I am sure it is @walterz. Thanks for commenting
Orange and chocolate is a wonderful combo! I don't care to admit how many orange filled chocolate bars I have eaten, lol!
These look so yummy. 😊
Ok, we won't count. Thanks @uglysweater
They look good!!👍👍😃
I am so glad you liked them @alovelymess. Do you like orange with your chocolate?
I do! It's the bestest thing ever! 👍👍👍👍😃
They look great! Can I ask for the recipe?
I hope your arm will be fully yours again soon!
Oh, how sweet of you @playfulfoodie! And of course you may have the recipe, it's up top!
Great! Thanks for pointing me to it :D
Mmmm these look good and for a treat fairly healthy with that Coconut milk going on instead of cream! Sucks having a cast on, I've broken 2 bones in my life and just hate it!! On the 7th July I am going into hospital again for a spine operation and will then be out of action for 7 weeks eeeek !! xx
So sorry to hear about the spine operation. Will you have free use of your hands? If so, you'll still be able to contribute to steemit.
I lost the full use of my left arm a few months back, so this operation should bring it back :-) . I have a 4 hour operation and then 5 nights in hospital, so I may disappear from Steemit for a week or so, but after that hopefully I'll be able to contribute. Not many people are looking at my posts at the moment, so I dare say no one will notice !! haha xxx
Thanks again for posting such beautiful food pictures. I really like this orange theme you have going. The color orange really pops out again in these pictures. The orange rind you added to the top of each popsicle is a really nice touch. :)
Thanks @rockjon and it smells amazing too, you must try!
Wow theselook fantastic! Love the contrast of the chocolate and the orange zest, yum ♥
Thanks so much @isshappy. I have been looking at your work and you definitely know how to take a pic
Thank you dear :) I'm working on a different (more pinteresty) style at the moment :p
Glad to hear you are getting better! These look simply amazing! My girlfriend and I were looking to try something similar whilst the weather was so hot here in the UK :)
Well I hope you can enjoy them @jhcooper7! Thanks for your kind wishes!
Delicious and very refreshing looking recipe @gringalicious. Keep up the good work. I think you should work yourself into a photo or two. :)

I'm so glad you like it @anejosua!
Good luck with getting better, I am sure you will be flying up those stairs in no time!
Yes, I certainly hope so! Thanks so so much @bitminter!
They look amazing, I love that combination of Coconut Milk and Yogurt for some extra creamy and velvety texture and great macro and micronutrient content. Medium Chain Tryglicerides and probiotic bacteria for the gut and enzymes along with a delicious cold summer treat. What is not to love there. Functional delicious food at its finest. That is how every one should be cooking. Taking into consideration each ingredient and its effects on our long term health and longevity. Good luck on a speedy recovery for your knee injury and sending positive energy all the way to Patagonia for you.
Oh, thank you ever so much @healthyrecipe! Sending a big hug back at you, mi amiga!
Hahaha, that would be amigo. ☺️☺️😏😌. But I got your meaning lol. Have a wonderful and Joy filled day.
Oh yes this looks very refreshing! I'm going to try it using Pyure brand stevia. My kids will devour these!
Also, your orange glasses make me happy ;)
Wow, I would love to eat these!
I'd love to give you one. Maybe someday? Thanks @susa
I'm babysitting my granddaughter today. I showed her a picture of your popsicles treats and she said they look scrum-didal-e-icious.
"scrum-didal-e-icious" I'm using that one. Thanks so much @beginningtoend. Have a great day
It looks yummy and you are a good photographer too.. the pics are so awesome
Ahh, how sweet, thanks so much @indiantravller. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
Where do you get this all the time? Preparation ahead? :)
Love the combo!
"Making hay while the sun shines," or something like that. I've turned this into my full time + gig for now. I need to make a post about it, but haven't had the time - LOL. Yes, it takes a tremendous amount of time, you're right. But, for the moment, I keep figuring out a way to make it happen.
Thanks so much for the awesome comment.
Ok. Fist of all... Oops, you did it again 🎶 .... I was scrolling and scrolling through the stream and bam! Cravings hit me hard because of you! I will never going to lose weight if I keep reading your stuff. You should feel ashame... or not!
I'm in my very veeery lazy mode lately so I have to ask, can I just dip an orange popsicle into a nutella jar and pretend I'm eating your stuff? You're supposed to say yes... Or encourage me to not be so lazy and do the recipe... but option #1 sounds good too... right?
I don't think the nutella jar is going to work out, but you can give it a try, I'd love to know the results. Sorry about the cravings. Thanks so much for commenting @blacklux. Keep up the good work on commenting!!
Water is flowing in my mouth seeing the photographs in your post. I was about to ask: recipe please, but I noticed you already gave that in another comment. Super share!
Thanks for the great comment @edje. I normally post in the mornings, so keep an eye out for those recipes. Thanks so much for the kind words
I have a follow on you now, so easier to catch your recipes.
You are giving me the hungers!
I know what you mean @fullofhope. I always like it when I can fix your hungers!!

These look definitely delish! I will be trying these but with the mandarin oranges growing here on my homestead :)
Awesome post! Upvoted and followed.
That would be awesome to use your own mandarins. You should make a post about it, I will be watching for it
I think I will give it a go! I made an almond flour tort with them, it was yummy. I'll be posting about it soon☺️
Happy Tuesday to you!
