Ingredients
Scale
Essential Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen fruit (thawed) – options include strawberries, mangoes, peaches, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, or dragonfruit
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
Optional Add-Ons:
- Fresh mint leaves – for a refreshing herbal twist
- Pinch of salt – to enhance flavor depth
- Splash of coconut milk – for creamy freeze pops
Instructions
- Thaw the Fruit: Let the frozen fruit sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or microwave for 30 seconds until softened but not hot.
- Blend the Mixture: In a blender, combine thawed fruit, water, lemon or lime juice, and honey/agave. Blend until smooth. Add mint, salt, or coconut milk if using.
- Fill the Sleeves: Using a funnel, pour the blended mixture into popsicle sleeves or molds, filling them 3/4 full to allow for expansion.
- Freeze: Lay the sleeves flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 8 hours, or overnight, until fully solid.
- Serve: Once frozen, enjoy straight from the freezer! Perfect for sunny afternoons or as a healthy dessert alternative.
Notes
- You can mix and match fruits for layered or multicolored pops (blend separately and pour in layers).
- Use silicone sleeves or BPA-free plastic tubes for easy and safe freezing.
- If your fruit mixture is too thick, add a bit more water or citrus juice to thin it out.
