Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up a batch of delightful fruit popsicles:

2 cups of your favorite fresh fruits (strawberries, mangoes, blueberries, kiwis, watermelon, etc.)

1/2 cup fruit juice (orange juice, apple juice, or any juice of your choice)

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Popsicle molds and sticks

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Fruit Popsicles

1. Prepare the Fruit:

Wash the fruits thoroughly and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. You can use a single type of fruit or mix multiple fruits for a fun and colorful variety. If using berries, you can leave them whole or slice them in half.

2. Blend the Base:

In a blender, combine the fruit juice with honey or agave syrup if you like your popsicles sweeter. Blend until smooth. You can also add a few pieces of fruit to the blender for a thicker, fruitier base.

3. Fill the Popsicle Molds:

Pour a little of the juice mixture into each popsicle mold, just enough to cover the bottom. Then, add a layer of fruit pieces. Continue layering the juice and fruit until the molds are full, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.

4. Insert the Sticks:

Place the popsicle sticks into the molds. Make sure they are centered and positioned correctly. Some molds come with built-in slots for sticks; if yours doesn’t, insert the sticks into the semi-frozen mixture after an hour of freezing to keep them upright.

5. Freeze Until Solid:

Place the filled molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid. Overnight is best to ensure they are thoroughly frozen.

Making popsicles at home allows you to control the ingredients, avoiding added sugars, artificial flavors, and preservatives commonly found in store-bought versions. Plus, it’s a fun activity that lets you experiment with different flavor combinations, making it perfect for kids and adults alike!
