Why it is healthy and devourable

As I mentioned before, Popsicle is an unhealthy dessert but the homemade vegan option is generally healthier.
And I don’t just bluntly state it as it is a great substitute for regular dairy pops.

When people choose the dairy-based pops, it is packed with additional calories from the fats contained in dairy milk.
Even if you choose the low calorie – claimed dairy pops, this can be an issue for some people still.

Some people can’t indulge in too many dairy products as they produce too much mucus that leads them to have breakouts and sinus issues after consuming it.

Some folks can’t even consume it as it may worsen their digestion problems such as gassy feeling, or other symptoms of stomach ache.

Other people with gluten intolerant also can’t enjoy the sweetness of pops joyfully.
This is a great opportunity and benefits for us, vegans.
We still have a good and delicious treat without sacrificing our health.

To break it down, all of those five ingredients are great choices for our health.
The cacao powder itself has so many health benefits including reducing the risk of heart disease, inflammation, diabetes risk, and help to lower your blood pressure.

The other ingredient, cashew butter as main ingredient offers goodness such as maintaining the heart health, speed up the metabolism, increasing the immunity level, provide enough protein.

For Medjool dates themselves, it can help you to keep you away from heart disease by lowering bad cholesterol levels, provide fiber, provide antioxidants, lower sugar levels.

Meanwhile, coconut milk, although it is rich in fats, it is a great natural resource that helps you to lose weight, balancing electrolyte in the body, strengthen the immune system, give you shiny and healthy hair and skin, keep you away from anemia, and more goodness that follows.
