Refreshing Matcha + Mint + Lime Ice-Blocks!


Summer is arriving and cool, refreshing treats are all around! These babies are simple, tasty and super quick to whip up (the hardest part is waiting for them to set!) Matcha, mint and lime work together so well in my opinion, however I kept the lime pretty subtle so it didn't ruin the unique flavour of the matcha! I drizzled mine in raw choc, but you could have additional toppings, or have no toppings at all! Either way, they're delicious and you'll absolutely LOVE them ;) Here's the recipe!


INGREDIENTS
Ice-blocks (makes about 6)

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 cup rice milk (or any other plant-based milk)
  • 1 - 2 tsp matcha powder (depending on how strong you like it!)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 3 tbsp coconut water (we used Natural Raw C)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp chia seeds

Cacao-Choc Sauce

  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup


Method:
- Blend together all ingredients until smooth.
- Pour into ice-block moulds and place in freezer overnight or until completely set
- In the morning remove from moulds (you may need to run some warm water over them so they come out) and set aside.
- For the cacao-choc sauce, mix all ingredients together so that there are no lumps. If you are finding it difficult you may need to place the ingredients in a saucepan over low heat to achieve a smooth texture.
- Drizzle the tips of each ice-block with the choc. sauce (and any other toppings you like! You could add desiccated coconut, nuts, goji berries etc.)
-Eat straight away or store in an air-tight container in the freezer :)
