Make Your Own Popsicles!
Instead of buying store brands packed with more sugar and high fructose corn syrup than fruit, I make my own using the freshest ingredients. They’re an easy and refreshing treat.
You will need:
A blender
8 ice pop molds (you can also use dixie cups and popsicle sticks)
Fine mesh strainer (if you’re using fresh fruit with seeds)
Possible flavor combinations:
Watermelon, lime juice, cilantro
Mango and orange juice
Strawberries and skim milk
Raspberry and lemon juice
Lemon juice and mint
Coconut milk and lime juice
Strawberry-Lemon Popsicles
Ingredients:
3 cups whole strawberries
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
4 fluid ounces vodka (optional)
Directions:
Put strawberries, honey, lemon juice and vodka (if using) in blender; blend until smooth. Strain mixture through a sieve to remove seeds. Pour into molds, making sure to leave room at the top. Insert sticks all the way down into the mold. Freeze overnight. To remove pops from mold, run under warm water for a few seconds.
