Frozen Fresh Fruit Kabobs

These Frozen Fresh Fruit Kabobs are an ideal summer snack for grab and go energy, for kids, or adults and make great frozen desserts.

They are also impressive and delicious served at summer BBQ’s and pool parties. These fruit kabobs are a great way to keep a clean and light diet without ever feeling deprived, heavy or guilty in any way.

Fruit Kabobs Recipe

GATHER:

Fruit: Blueberries, Bananas, Kiwi, Pitted Cherries, White Grapes, Purple Grapes, Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries, fresh Peaches – cubed, fresh Mango – cubed.
Bamboo Skewers
Agave Nectar
Chinese Five Spice Powder

Step ONE: PREP THE FRUITS

Slice bananas and kiwi fruits into thick 1/2 slices, peel and cube mango and peaches into 1 inch cubes, wash berries and place in separate bowls, to make it easier to create beautiful jewel like kabobs.

Step TWO: DETERMINE SWEETNESS

Taste test raspberries, blueberries and kiwi fruits for level of sweetness. If they are found to be tart, toss them to coat with agave nectar. In most cases the grapes, cherries, bananas and mango will be quite sweet without any added help from the agave.

Step THREE: COMPOSE KABOBS

Mindfully push skewers through fruits, making various combinations that please you.

I find it is nice to alternate bright colors with light ones, such as light green grapes followed by bright orange mango or dark blueberries followed by creamy white banana.

Step FOUR: FREEZE

As you complete each kabob, place them on a cookie sheet, and when sheet is full, dust all with a light sprinkling of Chinese Five Spice Powder or Cinnamon. Place all into the freezer for several hours or until you are ready to enjoy.

Step FIVE: ENJOY

My next article will offer recipes for a vegan ice cream social, and these frozen fruit kabobs are beautiful placed in a glass filled with colorful layers of fresh dairy free ice cream.

Happy Happy Happy!

I’m hosting this ice cream social next week in Syracuse New York, and will have pictures and recipes on my blog.

Namaste,

Gourmet Popsicles: Healthy Frozen Treats

Frozen Cleanse from Our Hohm to yours

FUN, JOY, HAPPINESS is the key to life. It’s the only way we can serve others and the world and create more fun, joy, abundance and happiness for others and for ourselves. This is why I insist on the act of cleansing as a time to really experience pure joy and fun within only what is essential.

As we cleanse we eliminate all that is non-essential, take a decadent break from it, and lavish love and care, and healing with full spectrums of delicious colored and bright tasting fresh juice elixirs.

In my book, The 7 Day Total Cleanse, I focus each day on one of the seven energy centers with the intention of learning about and noticing any imbalances that could be cleared at each chakra point. Sure, its helpful to really examine each emotional center and each organ in the body separately, each in it’s order, but it’s important to remember we are not separate from anything, but a totality of all our emotions.

Here is a really fun and beautiful way to enjoy a full spectrum of cleansing juice colors through out the day all at once: by freezing each of the cleansing elixirs corresponding to each emotional energy center, separately in layers, until you have a full spectrum cleanse with each frozen pop…Beautiful, cool, cleansing, refreshing and FUN!

Each day of the hohm juice cleanse delivered comes with 6 colors, and you can make dozens of full spectrum gourmet popsicles from only one day of juice cleanse – probably enough to last you TWO days of cleansing, because when you are actually eating frozen pops, one bottle of juice goes twice as far. Watch this short video with a fast how to, then visit our recipe page for a written instructions.

Enjoy your very own healthy frozen treats.

Gourmet Juice Popsicles: Hohm Healthy Cleanse Freezer Pops Recipe

American Yogini — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 23:26:17 +0000

FULL SPECTRUM FROZEN CLEANSE FREEZER POPS

HAVE ON HAND

A Freezer
Popsicle molds – enough for 12 pops
Butter Knife
Tea Cup
Boiling Water
1 Day of Hohm Juice Cleanse Delivered in “FULL SPECTRUM” OR
16 ounces of each of the following 4 elixirs:
“Security” “Creativity” “Confidence” and “Love”

(all recipes will be found in “The 7 Day Total Cleanse” or you can learn to make them at one of our retreats)

JOYFUL PROCEDURE

Start with “Security” your red colored juice, bottle #1 and pour a small amount into the bottoms of your popsicle molds.

Without putting the handle sticks in place, arrange mold in freezer on an angle: I use ice cube trays to prop them up. It’s quite easy.

Freeze for 30 minutes, until set.

Add small amount of “love”, your green juice or bottle #4 of the “Full Spectrum” hohm juice cleanse delivered.

Add only enough to create a 1/4 inch stripe.

Freeze at same angle for 15 minutes to set.

Add 1/2 inch of “Creativity” your orange colored juice, or bottle #2 of your hohm juice cleanse delivered.

Freeze at same angle.

Layer with thin stripe of “love” again.

Freeze to set.

Final layer is “Confidence” your yellow colored juice.

This final layer is frozen at the flat angle, as usual without the props that created the angles in previous layers.

PLACING THE STICKS

When final layer is frozen fully, you will need a butter knife, a mug as deep as the popsicle molds, and some boiling water.

Fill Cup with hot water,
Allow knife to heat up in the cup of water
Carefully press hot knife into the center of each pop
Remove knife immediately and you will be able to easily press the popsicle sticks into the popsicles.

Refreeze until ready to unmold and enjoy!

TO UNMOLD:

Run warm water over the base of the popsicle molds
Turn them upside down and wiggle out the pops!
Voila! Full Spectrum of Security, Creativity, Confidence all charged with Love, in every single frozen treat!

We did a quick how to video to help you create your juice popsicles. Enjoy your healthy juice cleanse freezer pops…

Smile! Feel the Love, and be well…

Namaste,
