Healthy summertime popsicles are easy as can be. The biggest challenge will be deciding which ones to make.
Start with whole berries, blackberries and blueberries sliced fruit like Strawberries, Oranges, Pineapple, Mango, and Kiwi.
Add your fruit to molds. There are a wide variety of popsicle molds to use. Silicon molds are our go to for their ease of use and durability.
Then decide your base, for creamy popsicles, used Greek Yogurt, or Coconut Milk, for more fruity, icy popsicles you can use Water, Coconut Water, Orange or Apple Juice.
You can also puree fruit and even vegetables together for a more condensed frozen treat.
You can enjoy them with the natural sweetness from the fruit, or add 2-4 tablespoons of Maple Syrup, Sugar, Honey or Agave to add some healthy sweetness.
