Dairy-free Mixed Berry and Cream Popsicle recipe

I was diagnosed with arthritis when I was 28. That was 20 years ago, but if you are a regular reader you know that I never complain about arthritis pain. Why? Because I learned a trick that greatly reduces my pain: I stay active! It is completely counter-intuitive, but no matter how bad I feel when I wake up in the morning, I hop out of bed, stretch, and then get moving.

I have learned the hard way that if I wake up achy and decide to roll over and rest a little longer that the pain will not go away. Sometimes, I will actually end up feeling worse.

While activity helps me feel better, I have also realized that I am better off exercising in moderation and doing low-impact exercises. It is counterproductive for me to go overboard and injure myself to the point that I have to cut back on exercise until I recuperate. So I favor yoga, reformer Pilates, and power walking over other forms of exercise.

After I have finished a yoga or Pilates class one on my instructors always reminds me to go home and get some protein. My favorite way to do that is by drinking a homemade smoothie. I don’t like protein powders and I am trying to get more of my protein from plant-based sources, so I use Silk Vanilla Soymilk which has 6 grams of protein per cup.

Dairy-free blueberry and spinach smoothie

Blueberry Spinach Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups frozen wild blueberries
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 cup Silk Vanilla Soymilk
  • 1 tablespoon flax seed

Directions:

Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend on high until smooth.

One day after making a smoothie, I received a call to pick up my son, so I tossed my smoothie in the freezer. When I got home, I discovered it made a pretty delicious popsicle. Not long after that I was looking at some creamy fruit popsicles at the store hoping to find a healthier treat and was surprised by how little fruit and how much sugar was in the popsicles. I thought back to my frozen smoothie and decided to make a healthier fruit and cream popsicle for my family to enjoy.

I did not include the spinach or flax seed when making this popsicle recipe because even I could not get away with hiding spinach in popsicles for my family. However, I also didn’t add much sugar – just 1 tablespoon. Silk Vanilla Soymilk mixed with berries is almost sweet enough to get by without adding any sugar to the popsicles. Almost.

These popsicles are a guilt-free indulgence. I enjoy having sweets in the afternoon with my children, but I don’t want to undo all that I accomplished in my exercise class by eating a high-sugar, high-fat treat.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
