Having spent a vast majority of my life split between Southern California and Texas, there is no doubt that my food is heavily influenced by the Mexican culture.
When I was pregnant with my oldest biological son, I craved Mexican candy and chili spiced fruits most.
These popsicles are a healthy throw back to those days of overwhelming cravings.
Lime essential oil not only kicks the flavor profile of these popsicles up a notch, it supports healthy immune function* and positive affects moods with stimulating and refreshing properties! I love this oil in my water as well in a number of recipes which I look forward to sharing over time.
Be certain to use a ground chili and not chili powder containing seasons like cumin and oregano.
Enjoy!
