Healthy Strawberry Popsicles (Plain or Covered in Chocolate)

This week I am posting a much healthier dessert!  I am a sucker for a fresh fruit Popsicle especially when it is hot outside!  These are a healthy snack for a hot day!  They are delicious served just as Popsicle or when covered in magic shell (which I have yet to make but have been told it is very easy to make a healthy magic shell too)!

Serves 4 large Popsicle

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1/3 cup of water
• 1 - 2 pinches of stevia (or 1 - 2 tsp sugar)
• Magic shell (if you wish to cover them in chocolate)

Directions:

• Blend the strawberries, water & stevia together to make 2 cups pureed strawberries.
• Pour into Popsicle molds
• Allow to freeze at least 5 hours or until completely solid.
• If you wish to cover them in chocolate pour magic shell over Popsicle.

Strawberry Nutella Shake

What could make a strawberry milkshake better?  Nutella!  Don't get me wrong I still am in love with regular strawberry milkshakes but I thought trying something new and adding Nutella to it would be a great idea and it was!  This was one of my personal favorites for the strawberry recipes!

*Serves 1 large shake

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup strawberries (how much you use all depends on your preference)
• 2 large scoops of vanilla ice cream
• 1/8 cup Nutella

Optional toppings:
Nutella for bottom of cup, whipped cream, sprinkles & cherry.

Directions:

• Add milk, strawberries, vanilla ice cream & Nutella into a blender.  Blend until smooth.
• If you wish add a spoonful of Nutella to the bottom of the glass for a little extra Nutella flavor.
• Pour milkshake into glass and top with the optional toppings of your choice.
