So let’s talk about these little guys. Because they were quite popular when I posted them on instagram yesterday. No, but seriously. They received the most likes and comments that I’ve ever had on any picture I posted. Other places must be just as hot as Colorado, so they look more appetizing than usual. That’s the only thing I can think of. Well, they deserved the love. They are quite delicious. And refreshing when it’s 95 degrees out. I’ve still been cooking in our house as the weather gets hotter and hotter, but it got to 90 degrees in our house the other day. You know how uncomfortable that is? Real uncomfortable. You see, we don’t have air conditioning. And, well, it blows. Oh well. I’ll just eat these instead or putting in my air conditioning window unit. Makes more sense to me.
Blow drying your hair in 90 degree weather rates up there among the most uncomfortable things of all time. Next to plucking eyebrows for the first time, brazilian waxes, and going to the gynecologist. #factofthedaythursday
I think you may begin to see lots of no bake desserts and lots of grilling items start popping up on the blog. Because I can’t stand to be inside, especially if they oven or stove is on.
There are few things that annoy me more than a person wearing sunglasses inside. There’s a difference between a hungover person on a Sunday morning with a group of friends out to brunch, who refuses to take his sunglasses off based upon the fact the he will frighten the paying customers around him. Including children. That’s totally understandable. But a person who just wears sunglasses every where they go, is weird. Like the guy who sat in front of me on our flight to D.C. He kept his sunglasses on throughout the entire flight, even to watch a movie. But then took them off once we landed. I just didn’t understand this fellow. Mostly because he kept scaring the sh*t out of me when he would burst out in laughter, thundering laughter, at the show he was watching on his ipad. Or start beating his back into his seat, thus almost knocking over my delicious sparkling water, just because his show was so funny. It made me uncomfortable. Also frightened, but mostly uncomfortable. People on planes are always the strangest people. Not really, but sometimes.
I still don’t understand why any airline loads the plane from front to back? CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME SO I STOP HATING THE AIRLINES!?
I’m sad that I’m not really into the Bachelorette like I was with the Bachelor. The Bachelorette kind of bugs the hell out of me.
Do you ever ponder things? Like what happened to Freddy Prince Jr.? Or how he isn’t still famous with a name like that? I ponder things. Mostly things like that.
Mini Layered Ice Cream Pops
- Yield: 9 1x
Ingredients
For the ice cream*
- 1 (14 ounce) can of full fat coconut milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
For the other layers
- 1/3 cup roasted, unsalted cashews (salted may actually taste great in this with all the sweetness)
- 1/4 cup Kolat Dark Chocolate Coconut fruit & nut butter**
- 1/3 cup Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- First, you’ll need to create the ice cream. Whisk together the ice cream ingredients until completely mixed. Then pour ingredients in an ice cream maker. (If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can mix the ingredients, pour into a bread pan, place in freezer, then scoop out when solid. A little time in the microwave may be needed to help soften it.)
- Once ice cream is solid, it’s time to build the ice cream pops. I used mini cups (you know, the ones you either rinse off your mouth with in the bathroom, or use for jello shots) but you could use larger size cups as well.
- In the bottom, add about a tablespoon of cashews, then a larger tablespoon of ice cream to cover them completely, then the nut buttter, the ice cream, then chocolate chips. Then place a craft stick in the middle of the popsicle, pressing it down to the bottom of the cup.
- Repeat until the ice cream is gone.
- Place in freezing and let freeze for up to 5+ hours to make sure all the ingredients are hard and well combined.
- Eat up. They may need to soften just a little bit so they are not too hard to bite into! So be careful!
Notes
*You could use store bought ice cream as well. **If you cannot get Kolat nut butter, mix a bit of cocoa powder and honey in your own almond butter! This made 9 pops

My hot, sweaty, fat, sweet-toothed, Floridian ass thanks you for this!!!
Juli!! i <3 your blog. i have no AC either, my place has a swamp cooler. i live in the middle of the Mojave desert in California & can definitely relate to the pain and how uncomfortable it is to dry/straighten your hair in 6,000 degree weather (ok, maybe not 6,000 but i'm pretty sure it's close). these look deeeelish!!!
Four stars to start because I haven’t tried them yet, but recipe looks outstanding. Can relate to that heat wave, meaning the hell I’m living in down here in the South. These would be great on a day like today, might even make a few for the co-workers. You should definitely make a white-chocolate and raspberry one for me if you haven’t already. That just makes my mouth water! Happy eating and stay cool!
These do look damn good.
Sorry to be a a** but I can’t say I agree with rating the recipe before making or eating it?
That’s like reviewing a restaurant on Yelp that you’ve never been to that just looks cool.
Not trying to hate, just confused.
I agree. Lots of people do it still
I’m one of those inside-sunglasses-wearers that you hate, but with good reason. I get painful, mind-splitting migraines and am very light sensitive so the glasses help if I can’t stay in bed all day. Also, fluorescent lights can trigger a migraine in certain circumstances so the glasses can help prevent them. I’m not trying to be a douchebag, I swear! 🙂
For Shona and your migranes: After a lifetime of migranes and all the joy that goes with them, I have found something that actually works. It’s called A.R.T. active release technique. It will change your life. Find a CERTIFIED ART practitioner. I found out about it through a magazine called Health Alert with Dr. Bruce West. (there is a nationwide 800# for drs names on a per state basis. The drs are usually chiropractors or on the wholistic side.) It has vastly improved my standard of living. I can make plans and actually do them.I barely get one per year now. Good luck to you!
I never comment on blogs but had to stop to do this. I have been following your blog for awhile and loved makng everything. I am a newlywed and have been cooking paleo since we got married. Its been two weeks and he is now in love with paleo thanks to you! He lives by your paleo title! He never believes what I make is paleo. He now sleeps better, skin is clearer and has lost some weight. Keep posting!! I check daily. Thank you for inspiring!
How about when you workout, then you take a cold shower, and you get out of said shower and you’re STILL SWEATING.Worst. Feeling. Ever. There’s no real point in even trying to dry your hair at that point cause it’s just going to stick to everything. Ew. The world’s just going to have to deal with however it turns out.
In other news…can’t wait to try these!! They look like the perfect way to combat the heat.
Actually, Mythbusters did it and proved that loading a plane back to front was the slowest method. Front to back wasn’t the best, either, but a combination of the two turned out to be the fastest and highest rated satisfaction of the process.

Holy balls I want those in my mouth. Now I need to go get an icecream maker today…
I’m going to make these and then dip them in chocolate so I can pretend I’m eating a peanut buster bar from DQ which was my fave treat before I stopped eating soft serve due to the dairy-stomach-digestion-death I now suffer from.
Thank you for this Juli! If I lived anywhere near CO or the places you are selling your book I would buy 2 more in appreciation 🙂
thank you for posting alternative instructions for ice cream making sans machine! I don’t (and personally shouldn’t ha) make ice cream enough to warrant another kitchen gadget but I’ve never seen on any other paleo blog that you can pop it in the freezer and it’ll still come out just fine ha.
My pet peeve at the airport is when everyone and their mother stands in front of the gate even though their zone or section hasn’t been called! Chill the ef out people! Standing in front of the gate will NOT get you there any faster. If anything, it’s slowing the whole process down cause your butt is in the way. Grump!
Ok…rant over.
These look delicious!
oh i totally do that!! i do that because i’m trying to get at the fron t of my zone so the plane isn’t filled up and i end up having to check my bag!
