A Recipe from our Nutritionists

A great way to way to kick off the summer!

Nutty Frozen Pops

1 envelope unflavored gelatin

1 cup boiling water

1 cup nut butter: peanut, almond, cashew or even soy nut butter

1 cup flavored milk: vanilla or chocolate, rice, cow, goat, soy or hemp

Mix the gelatin with boiling water until it is dissolved. Using a beater or whisk, blend in the nut butter and then stir in the milk. Pour into small paper cups or popsicle molds, place in the freezer. After 20-30 minutes, when starting to freeze, place popsicle sticks in the cups.Be creative: mix in chopped strawberries, blueberries or banana.
