Think Bright Thoughts
I have decided to stop wearing black, gray and dismal colors from this point forward.
Have you ever noticed how people’s reaction change when they speak with someone who is wearing light and bright colors verses dark and drab colors? It brings a smile to their face. It is like a glimmer of sunshine. It is time to shed the depressing months of winter and move on to some delightful happy bright and fun experiences.
The flowers are blooming and spring in the air. This week was Hong Kong’s Flower show and amazing sites for all to see. I much rather go to the beautiful flower show than deal with all the drunken crazy people as the Hong Kong Sevens any day, but that was going on as well.
I was so going to wear this very same outfit but I was stuck on what shoes to pair with my attire.
I saw the sun for the first time here in Hong Kong in about 60 days so very excited to make something to celebrate the coming of spring. My dear neighbor came over bearing a huge car load of oranges from the USA and just seeing the bright orange colors laying on Healthy World Cuisine counter, brightened my day. I wanted to make something that could help us all jump into spring with some very fresh flavors and healthy alternatives for desserts. After all, we are soon embarking upon bikini weather…
I ventured on the wild side by looking in the Healthy World Cuisine pantry for some inspiration. I started thinking about all my adventures around the world, I have coconut milk from Thailand, sweet juicy oranges from Florida and whole Cardamon from India. Now this was much more like my style, a blend of cultures all combined in one lovely ice pop.
An ice pop, frozen ice lolly, Popsicle or frozen treats are popular in almost every culture we just have different nick names for this yummy frozen treat.
Orange Coconut cardamom ice lollies have the creamy richness of the coconut milk, light and fresh flavors of the oranges and some exotic flavors with the spice of the cardamom which make this ice lolly very unique and refreshing.
My ice lolly pop containers are made of bright orange, red, blue and green colors and are just ready to help us jump into spring. So go ahead and strip off those black and drab colors, don some bright and fun clothes, and grab yourself a cool and refreshing Orange Coconut cardamom Ice Lolly.

BAM, found this on your FB page. Just had to see it ’cause I took leftover coconut milk out of the freezer this morning wanting to use it for “something”. I have the cardamom, too, and will run to the store for oranges in the morning. Who cares if it’s not spring, I want these!
Hi there Kathleen you really can use any fruit you like I just used oranges as my neighbor brought me over like a million of them so had to use them up. I think mango, Jack fruit , banana or even pineapple would be quite nice. Take care, BAM
I did them this morning with oranges, BAM. Yummy! Now I’ll have to try all the other flavors. Jack fruit ~ that’s a new one on me, will have to look that up. Wish I had a neighbor who would bring me a million of something!
Bam,
I just started using cardamon, cloves, and a tea bag in my hot tea. lovely. That is why I googled the internet to find a recipe. thank you. Where are you buying your lovely cardamon? I bought mine in TST, Kowloon. But yours look so good. I will be making some ice treat without milk, Ihave your recipe saved too. Dawn
Thanks for stopping by Dawn. My favorite place to get Indian Spices is at the Indian Provisions store in Wanchai. 18-20 Bowrington Road Wanchai, Hong Kong Tele: 2891-8324
Take Care, BAM
OK, I have forgotten everything I’ve just seen, because that one image obliterated them. That poor guy having to hold his wife’s sequined purse. Or wait is that his? Either way it’s just wrong. I think there was something about a tasty dessert. I’ll brave going back.
Oh Greg, you make me laugh so hard!!! Just the thought of “Man bags”, satchels, or men carrying their wives purses is just one good reason to get the “%^^#^” knocked out of you in the USA. But here in China, it is just the way of life… My husband still would never, ever, hold my purse as a matter of fact he always gives me his stuff to put in mine. Take Care, BAM
Beautiful colourful post!… and love anything with cardamom
Thank you City Hippy Farm Girl! So how did you come up with your website name it is very unique? Happy Spring to you! BAM
So true about wearing bright colors! I definitely wear too much black 🙂 These ice pops look delicious! Good reminder that it’s nearly time for me to take out my popsicle molds!
These pops sound lovely! What an interesting Summery flavor combination. I’ve always wanted to make homemade ice pops!
These little pops would be a great refreshing treat after one of your hard runs. Take Care, BAM
What a cool combination of flavors (pun intended!). Love the cardamom. The Hong Kong flower show looks like it was fantastic…the elephants are exquisite! Just today, I made a mental note to wear less black now that it’s spring. So I popped on a coral blouse today and light grey slacks and you know, I do feel a little lighter and brighter. Let’s see if I get treated differently…
So how did it go at work today? Did people treat you a little different with your light and bright springy clothes on. Geni you would have had a field day at the flower show with your camera! Great photo opportunities. Take Care and happy spring to you. BAM
OMG please donate me a popsicle!!
Sure would if I knew it would stay frozen from Hong kong to your destination. Thanks for stopping by my website so I could find yours. Take Care, BAM
I love those elephants and those tulips! wow.. it really is spring over there.. iced lollies and all! I have to get back out into the garden but just had to pop over first.. and here I am am just about last on your comments.. why am I always last!!! c
Spring is here in full bloom and a very lovely site. I am dreading summer in HK as it is unbearable with heat and humidity factors but now it is beautiful weather just perfectly comfortable.
Mm, what a refreshing combination! These sound so wonderful, I want to whip up a batch of my own right this minute!
Thanks Hannah! It is super refreshing and a little bit of creamy decadence as well. I hate to admit but eating them for breakfast. “The breakfast of champions”
Wow 😀 That looks yummy. We’re a new summer blog, and we’d like you to come and have a look at our popsicle recipe! I’m sorry we haven’t posted the pics yet. But they’re super-refreshing! We’ll be making white chocolate ganache and chocolate cake tomorrow! for the recipe – go follow! 😀
Thanks for stopping by. I’m on my way to your new summer blog now to check it out. Take Care, BAM
Hi Bobbi! I’m so going to try this one. I love coconut, orange, and cardamom too! ALL in one here… MUST TRY! Thanks for sharing this recipe so I can make my own… =D
Konnichi wa Nami-san. It is so easy to make and your little ones will love it. Ja Mata, BAM
When we were little my mom used to make us popsicles and that’s what immediately came to mind!
I have some of the same warm memories. I think my mom used to use koolaid and other juices and always used these bright and smart little ice lolly containers. It brings back some warm memories of our childhood.
GREAT idea! And lovely cheerful photos too.
I just signed up as a follower of yours. It looks like you really are going full steam ahead on your blog. Nice Job! Take care, BAM
Thanks! I’m enjoying blogging and being part of the community – it’s taken me this long to figure out that you have to put a lot in to get a lot out…
I love these Bam, I bought an ice lolly pan a few months a go and did not get a chance to try it.We are having a few cold and rainy days here but as soon as the sun comes up I am trying these
Spring really is on its way. I promise! I hope it comes soon with some beautiful sunny days for you. Take care, BAM
So much to enjoy – the flavours of the lollies ( a fan of Cardamon in sweets here!), the wonderful photos (I loved the woman’s outfit) and yes to colours, one thing with skiing is that it’s a great opportunity to wear bright colourful clothes – and to mix the colours up – so bright blue jackets, red trousers etc – you get the picture 🙂
Another cardamom lover, glad to hear. We do not have snow or skiing here in HK so I guess she just wanted to show her fun side. I am sure she is a blast to hang out with.
Really! How fun are these!! Love the combination of flavors. Great job! And I’d too have a problem picking out shoes to go with that outfit!! Happy Spring Days ahead!!
Thank you for your lovely comment. Maybe flip flops with that outfit? Take care, BAM
