Healthy Wholesome Summer Treats
I usually don’t encourage eating a lot of cold foods. Because from the perspectives of Traditional Chinese medicine, cold foods harm the digestive system and spleen Qi, which can lead to a variety of health issues. But when summer is here, my kids want cold treats like everyone else, and my mommy heart doesn’t want to deny them the enjoyment!
I made these strawberry kefir popsicle treats with the healthiest wholesome ingredients for my boys. Let’s not kid ourselves that we can eat as many popsicles as we wish, no matter how healthy the ingredients are. All frozen treats should be eaten in moderation!
Initially I made organic black bean popsicles – frozen treats made from beans are very popular in my childhood, and super yummy too – perhaps I will share the recipe another time. It turned out my boys weren’t fans of black beans, so I ended up trying different recipes.
I always have an abundance of home-made kefir, and had many success of using kefir in various recipes. I made a really delicious mango kefir icecream a couple years ago. Then again, these strawberry kefir popsicles turned out amazing!

Notes
- I use my homemade organic whole milk kefir. If you make your own kefir, you can ferment skim milk or half and half too. Higher fat content kefir makes creamier popsicles.
- Because I can use either fresh or frozen strawberries in this recipe without affecting the outcome, I can prioritize buying organic strawberries. It's worthwhile because conventional strawberries are one of the most contaminated food.
