Ingredients

2 cups fresh fruit (16oz), fruit of choice
½ cup juice (4oz), or water
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed citrus juice lemon or lime
2 tablespoons honey or agave

Instructions

Add the fruit of choice to a blender with ½ cup of juice, fresh squeezed lemon or lime, and honey. Blend until smooth. Always pick fresh ripe fruit in season. If using frozen fruit, thaw for 3o minutes at room temperature or defrost in the microwave. Most frozen fruit is packed at peak ripeness.
Pour into popsicle sleeves using a funnel, leaving 1” space for expansion. Move to the freezer and freeze for 8 hours or overnight, until completely solid. Enjoy!

Notes

Your fruit should be equal to 16 oz, so mix and match as you please. Select the most ripe fruit in season. You can also use frozen fruits that are packed at peak ripeness, but you will need to thaw them first.
You can use water in place of juice, but I like to select a juice that compliments the fruit and deepens the flavor profile.
Select either lemon or lime juice to pull out the flavor of your fruit and pop the color.
For vegan, swap honey for agave or sugar of choice.
Makes 5 freezer pops per recipe.
