Ingredients:

• 2 Ripe avocados (pitted and peeled)

• 1/2 cup Full-fat coconut milk (from the can) or thick Greek yogurt

3. The Freeze: Transfer the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container or pour into popsicle molds for easy portioning.

Why This Recipe is a Staple

Avocados are a "superfood" for diabetics. They offer a high fiber content and healthy monounsaturated fats, which are essential for heart health and blood sugar management. Combined with the refreshing zing of lime, this dessert is a sophisticated yet kid-friendly way to stay cool.
