These tasty popsicles are the perfect way to cool down this summer. Not only are they an easy, healthy snack; they’re completely customizable for the pickiest of eaters. All you need is a popsicle mold, sticks, your favorite fresh fruit and liquid to hold it all together!
- Start by cutting up your favorite fruit. Juicier fruit (like berries) typically work best for an icy pop!
- Fill your popsicle molds with chopped fruit. For the prettiest pops, fill them up as much as possible.
- Pour your favorite liquid into the mold to hold the pop together.
- Use your mold to guide your popsicle sticks into place, before placing the filled mold into the freezer.
- Freeze overnight
More tips: To easily release your popsicles from the mold, try running the mold under hot water for about 10 seconds.
