Homemade Popsicles

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh fruit (strawberries, mangoes, or a mix), chopped into small pieces
• 1 cup fruit juice (orange, apple, or coconut water)
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
• 2 cups Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
• 1 cup pureed fruit (bananas, berries, or peaches)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
• 1 can of coconut milk
• 1 cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
• 1 cup fresh fruit or fruit puree
• 1 tablespoon agave syrup or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare your fruit by washing, peeling, and chopping it into small pieces. For purees, blend the fruit until smooth.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine your chosen ingredients for the desired popsicle flavor. Stir thoroughly to ensure sweetness is evenly distributed.
3. For creamy yogurt pops, blend Greek yogurt with pureed fruit, vanilla extract, and sweetener until well combined.
4. For vegan pops, whisk together coconut milk, almond milk, fruit puree, and sweetener until fully mixed.
5. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
6. If desired, add pieces of whole fruit or granola into the molds before pouring in the mixture.
7. Insert sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
8. To remove the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds.
