Well, y’all, I just got back from a spell in Spain, where I had myself a right fine week of creatin’, lovin’, cookin’, dancin’, expressin’ myself, and raising me some dust at this here co-created, no-commerce burner festival out in what they call the Spanish ‘desert’.
And let me tell ya, I was with some of the finest folks I know.
It was such a beautiful ride but boy was it intense and tiring to boot. After all that excitement, I spent another week just windin’ down in this little ol’ seaside town.
This place is snuggled up against mountains and used to be home to that surrealist painter fella Salvador Dali.
With the thermometer hitting 35˚C and even hotter, you can bet your boots I was hankerin’ for some ice cream or froyo… even an ice lolly would do (though if y’all are from across the pond you might know them as popsicles).
Now these here treats ain’t exactly easy to come by at a desert festival.
Don’t get me wrong now. We whipped up some mighty fine vegan meals right there on site in our little shaded homemade kitchen in the dust.
It’s quite something if you think about it – considering that just a week before all we had was sand and a few dried-up weeds.
But let’s not dwell on that too much – wonderful as it was – instead let’s chew the fat over these here vegan berry coconut froyo granola popsicles.
My favourite kind of froyo (vegan of course) is served up in a breakfast bowl. Now if y’all didn’t already know, I’m quite partial to breakfast food.
A bowl full o’ froyo topped with mixed berries and crunchy granola? Well now, that’s my idea of breakfast heaven.
Now I don’t have no fancy froyo or ice cream maker at home – might look into getting one though – so instead I’ve been mucking around with my new popsicle molds.
Well lookee here folks! Let me introduce y’all to these Vegan Berry Coconut Froyo Granola Popsicles. They’re quick as lightning to make and downright delicious!
Perfect for those hot summer days or any meal really – breakfast, dessert, snack… doesn’t matter when really! Plus they’re about as fast an option for breakfast you’ll find anywhere – just grab one and head on out! Enjoy!
Vegan Berry Coconut Froyo Granola Popsicles Recipe
Preparation Time:

Cook Time:
10 minutes
Total Time:
15 minutes
Serves:
10
Ingredients:
- 2 cups coconut yogurt
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup mixed berries (frozen or fresh)
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- Favourite granola
Instructions:
- Using a saucepan, bring the berries to a boil at a medium heat, add the chia seeds and maple syrup. Keep stirring to avoid it from burning. Then set aside to cool.
- In a bowl, whisk together the coconut yogurt and the coconut cream. If you refrigerate a can of coconut milk, you can use the firm top part of the can, aka the coconut cream.
- Build up the layers in the popsicle molds starting with a teaspoon of granola (for each mold), then the froyo layer, followed by the berries, then again the froyo until the mold is full.
- Pop it in the freezer overnight and enjoy for breakfast (or whenever you want!).
