*Note: If your child is allergic to nuts substitute sunflower seed butter or ricotta cheese in place of the nut butter. Pour any un-eaten leftovers into empty compartments of an ice cube tray and freeze. Pop out later and serve as Popsicle cubes in a glass of cold organic unsweetened vanilla almond milk (such as Pacific Brand) or if allergic to nuts, use an oat, rice, or hemp milk instead. Garnish with a sprinkling of unsweetened cocoa powder and add a decorative straw and a spoon to the glass.
