Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton, unsweetened)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for extra texture)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a blender or food processor, combine the sliced strawberries, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

    Mix in Chia Seeds: Transfer the strawberry-coconut mixture to a mixing bowl. Stir in the chia seeds until well combined. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to swell and thicken the mixture.

      Add Shredded Coconut (Optional): If you're using shredded coconut, fold it into the mixture for added texture and flavor.

        Fill the Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, filling each mold about three-quarters full to allow for expansion. If you want to create a pretty layered effect, you can freeze the first layer for about 30 minutes before pouring in more of the mixture.

          Insert Sticks: Once filled, insert the popsicle sticks into the molds and ensure they are centered.

            Freeze the Pops: Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

              Unmold and Serve: To remove the pops, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. Gently pull on the sticks to release the popsicles.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately or store any extras in an airtight container in the freezer!
