- 1/4 Cup honey
- 1 Cup Greek yogurt
- Sprinkling of granola (optional)

Combine the Greek yogurt and honey together and simply start layering your molds: yogurt mixture, fruit and so on until each mold is full. You can sprinkle a little granola at the base of each stick for a nice little crunch.

CHIA COCONUT POPS
(Makes 6)
Ingredients
1 Can coconut milk
1/4 Cup chia seeds
Fresh fruit of your choice
1 Tbsp honey (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract (optional)
Method
Pour the coconut milk into a small bowl (including the thicker residue on the top) and give it a whisk or a stir to combine well.
Stir in the chia seeds and let them sit, stirring once or twice, for about 30 minutes, to allow the seeds to expand.
Now start prepping your lollies. Add a little bit of the coconut mixture to the bottom of each of mold.
Cut your fruit into small pieces and some of the fruit in on top. Continue adding more coconut mixture, then more fruit until the molds are almost full.
