Recipe: Frozen 100% Fruit Pops

Kids love eat popsicles during these hot summer days. So many of the frozen treats are filled with sugar and have nothing healthy in them. This recipe for Fruit Pops from Doodlecraft uses 100% fruit – even down to pureeing fruit with a food processor, not using juice, so it’s even more healthy. The kids will think it’s a treat, but you’ll know it’s super healthy.

What You’ll Need:

• Plastic popsicle molds
• About 3 cups of sliced watermelon (be sure there are no seeds)
• Sliced strawberries
• Sliced kiwi
• Large handful of blueberries

Note: Any kind of melon will work instead of watermelon, and juice will work if you want to make this process easier.

Directions:

1. Puree the watermelon fully to make it as watery as possible.
2. Put 2-4 blueberries at the bottom of the plastic mold, a slice or two of kiwi (so they show on the side of the mold), 2-4 slices of strawberry, then a couple more blueberries as the last of the fruit.
3. Fill the molds to the edge with the watermelon juice.
4. Press the popsicle mold lids on securely, then freeze overnight.
5. When fully frozen, the popsicle should slide right out of the mold, but if it sticks, run the plastic under a little warm water.
