Instructions:
- Prepare the Fruit:
Wash and chop fresh fruit or thaw frozen fruit. Blend the fruit until smooth for a silky texture, or mash it lightly for a chunkier popsicle. - Combine Ingredients:
In a blender, mix the fruit puree, yogurt, honey (if using), and water/juice until smooth. Adjust the sweetness to your liking. - Pour into Molds:
Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. - Insert Sticks:
Add the popsicle sticks to the molds. If your mold doesn’t have a built-in stick holder, freeze for 30 minutes first, then insert sticks. - Freeze:
Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid. - Unmold and Enjoy:
Run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles. Gently pull them out and enjoy your homemade treat!
Flavor Variations
- Tropical Bliss: Use pineapple, mango, and coconut water.
- Berry Medley: Mix strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries with vanilla yogurt.
- Creamy Citrus: Combine orange juice, yogurt, and a touch of honey.
