Is the “Sweet Tooth” coming after you?

A sweet tooth is just a craving for something sweet, or a treat.

Kept in moderation, it’s just fine. However, if your sweet tooth takes over and you’re looking for candy, ice cream, cookies, & pastries every day, it can become a problem. Wouldn’t it be great if there was something you AND your sweet tooth could enjoy healthfully?

The solution is easier, more fun AND a lot tastier than you might think!

Is the solution…Popsicles?

Yes! When they’re made more fun, more flavorful AND healthier by real fruit!

All the popsicles you see above are made with real, fresh fruit. What about sweetness? What about chocolate? (As you know, chocolate is a mainstay of the sweet tooth & cravings!) Don’t worry, these pops make chocolate good for you too.

The pretty designs like cascading peach slices, floating grapes, cute stripes & fun stars are all also simple to make when you know the tricks. When a snack looks better, it tastes better too. And when it’s easy to make, easy to reach & easy to munch on, you can easily say “no” to unhealthy temptations.

What would you rather have?To make healthier choices consistently, day after day, you have to WANT to make the right choice,

each time. Appealing looking & tasty popsicles make the choice easier.

In this case, the popsicle is actually a healthier choice because of the added nutrition from the chia seeds. (Learn about your new secret nutrition weapon: the chia seed, later on in this slide show!) The fruit is fresh, unpasteurized, the peels are intact to give you more fiber, there are no preservatives, no added sugar, no corn syrup and no artificial colors or flavors. It’s got everything you want & nothing you don’t…because YOU are in control!

But What About Just Buying From The Store?Or

What’s in store-bought pops?

Getting a freezer-treat from the grocery may look ok at first, but do you know everything that’s in regular popsicles? It’s time to read the labels.

- Sugar Free – These can have Aspartame, Sucuralose, or other chemical based artificial sweeteners inside. These are ok for some people, but it actually makes others feel HUNGRIER, which isn’t beneficial. Other people are allergic to artificial sweeteners, with poor digestive symptoms

- Non-Diet – These pops are usually loaded with HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup). (Also included can be regular corn syrup, corn syrup solids) They say it’s ok in moderation, but HFCS is in nearly everything. From pops to bar-b-q sauce, it’s in granola, cereal, soda, juice, candy, and yogurt. If you can knock out once source of HFCS, you’ll be closer to the “moderation” goal. Plus, what’s better for your health? Just fruit, or fruit & sugar water?

To make the bright colors, artificial dyes may also be used. Some are from chemicals, like coal, while others can be from smashed up insects. Are you allergic to certain food dyes? Some people are.

Are the fruits or juices pasteurized or made from concentrates before they’re frozen?If so, the high heat may break down healthy plant compounds, de-activate beneficial enzymes or otherwise reduce the nutrition value of the fruit. Home made popsicles are as easy as make, freeze & eat…so they don’t need preservatives, heat, or anything artificial.

This isn’t just kids stuff!Who could you impress by serving pretty popsicles like

these?

You’ll never find cool designs like this in a box at the store. Maybe on a magazine cover, but, will it tell you how to achieve the ‘floating’ effect?

Fruit floats.Getting it evenly distributed for a pretty look like this, is just one of the tricks you’ll learn in the popsicle book.

Learn the cool techniques to make the unique designs seen throughout the book. You’ll see the wacky watermelon slice, cut fruit, floating fruit, fun stripes & cute stars.

What’s the secret to creamy home-made fudgesicles that are totally DAIRY – FREE and vegan too?

Never crunchy, never icy, these creamy soft fudge pops come out great every time. They taste extra chocolaty, and have NO added sugar. There’s actually nothing at all bad for you in these chocolate popsicles—so you can snack without guilt.

Hint: You already know 100% cacao is great for your health, with anti oxidants to fight free radical damage, and flavonoids to help with cholesterol and blood vessel health. Now, get 100% pure raw cacao into your meal plan easily with sweet tasting (But no sugar added) creamy ‘fudge’ bars! They’re so great, you can even eat them for breakfast.

Popsicle molds

Everyone’s molds are different. There isn’t really a “Standard Size” pop mold. Molds can be bought at the grocery for anywhere between a dollar and about 5 dollars. Most molds are dishwasher safe so you don’t need to worry about clean up. (This is why most popsicle recipes won’t give a concrete “amount of popsicles you get” from the recipe…it just depends on your molds & the size of your fruits)

Fast-freeze molds-Just can’t wait? You can find fast-freeze molding kits for 30 dollars. They’re more costly, but they make frozen treats in about 20 minutes. These are great for impatient kids, but if you’re just freezing pops the night before, or to have something in the house all week, you don’t need to spend that much.

What are Chia Seeds? Why are they important for healthier popsicles?

Chia seeds are tiny seeds that have no flavor of their own. This means they’re super versatile, easy to use in food you already like AND you can’t hate them, because there’s no taste. But why would you want to add chia to your favorite foods and pops too?

Because chia seeds give you…

Magnesium – 15 times more than BroccoliCalcium – 6 times more than whole milkOmega-3 Healthy Oils– nearly 9 times the amount found in salmonFiber – more than flax seed & 2 times more than bran flakesIron – nearly 3 times more than spinachProtein – more than soyUnlike fish, MySeeds Chia Seeds have NO CHOLESTEROL

You can add all of the healthy nutrients in that list to food you already like in a natural way. No pills, no powders, no flavors just seeds straight from nature. Sprinkling MySeeds chia seeds onto salad dressings, sauces, soups, oatmeal, yogurt and smoothies is just the start! Popsicles are just the start when you use chia for health.

When you make popsicles at home, you can get all sorts of exotic flavor combinations you can’t buy in stores. Since there are so many fruits that taste great together, you can enjoy something new with each season.

How easy are these popsicles to make?Just use this slide show to find out.

You’ll be on your way to more healthy servings of fiber when you make the

Peach Plum Confetti Chia Popsicle!

With half of a peach, half a plum, 1 banana, 2 tablespoons of rice or almond milk and a teaspoon of chia seeds, (and maybe a sprinkle of natural stevia leaf—if desired) you get a colorful, healthy treat. The banana provides added sweetness & removes ‘icy’ texture and the chia seeds add extra fiber while they keep you feeling full longer.

Place all your ingredients in the food processor (or blender, and pulse until you get a ‘slush’ consistency. You don’t want a total puree, so you get the colorful fruit skins as the ‘confetti’ in this popsicle.

The chia seeds blend the flavors together as they are exposed to the moisture in the fruits. Chia seeds have no flavor of their own. You won’t notice they’re there at all…but your body will! They’re packed with nutrition, such as complete protein, B-vitamins, calcium (more by weight than milk!) the trace mineral boron and anti-oxidants…plus don’t forget about healthy omega-3 oils too!

Now, just pour the mixture into your molds & it’s as easy as that!

Place in your re-use-able handles, freeze & in a couple of hours you’ll be ready for snack time, dessert time…or just any time you want a cool treat. Because there is nothing at all bad for you in these popsicles, you can enjoy them without guilt.

Ready for snack time!

To easily release your popsicle from the mold, run some hot water over the outside for a short time, then pull the handle. It should slide right out.

Does this seem overly simple?It may be easy, but home-made popsicles are often over-looked. It’s all in the flavor combinations & how you mix them. Don’t let the simplicity fool you, there are some great tastes out there to be had…and here’s the proof!

Want a sweeter taste?Kids sometimes have a HUGE sweet tooth. Even the added sweet taste of the banana isn’t enough for them. They want it to taste like candy. The solution isn’t sugar though…it’s stevia. Stevia isn’t a chemical sweetener like aspartame or sucralose, it doesn’t have the side effect of making some people even hungrier like artificial sweeteners can. It’s made from the stevia leaf, and it does not affect blood sugar. It tastes sweet, but that’s all. Mixing stevia powder (now available in most grocery stores) into the fruits as you blend will result in a much sweeter pop, but without the unhealthy added sugar. It’s so powerful that usually 1/8th teaspoon per batch will do…but you can do a taste-test to check the flavor yourself.

Remember:Fruits vary in their amount of sweetness. You may or may not need an added sweet boost…it just depends on your choice of fruits.

Why is chia important right now?

1. Today’s fruits & vegetables aren’t as nutritious as they once were-Depleted, over-farmed soil, chemical fertilizers, & plants genetically modified to withstand harsh pesticides all contribute to a loss of nutrients. Sure, broccoli is still good for you, but common, grocery-store shelf broccoli isn’t as good for you as it once was.

2. Most people don’t get enough fiber-It’s easy to miss out on your daily recommended amount of fiber with food today. Traditional fiber is heavy, gritty, or unappetizing so most processed food companies work to reduce it.

3. Today’s food has to be fast!Nobody wants to spend hours in the kitchen any more, but fried fast-food fare isn’t the answer for your best health. Chia is important because it’s so easy & fast to use. If something isn’t convenient or quick, it’s too easy to skip it.

4. You can use it to reduce fat in your recipes -Chia is SO amazing that you can actually use chia gel to substitute for butter or oil in your favorite recipes. You won’t change the taste & you won’t change the texture, but you will reduce the fat! A cookie with the same taste but half the fat? With chia, you can have it.

5. Omega 3 oils & anti-oxidants -Omega 3 oils are healthy, but more expensive to use, so you won’t find them in as many pre-prepared foods. Oil is important for cell membrane health, brain health & lots of other body functions. Anti-oxidants fight free-radical (oxidative particle) damage. Free radical damage can lead to signs of premature aging & inflammation. You can see the anti oxidant power of chia in its long shelf life: they keep the oils from going rancid & grant a shelf life of 2 years! (if kept in a cool, dry place)
