Frozen Fruit Popsicles


Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and stems removed
  • 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup honey (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup filtered water
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Popsicle molds and sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare all fruit by hulling strawberries, washing blueberries, and dicing mango into uniform pieces.
  2. In blender, combine strawberries, blueberries, mango, honey, water, and lemon juice.
  3. Blend until completely smooth with no fruit chunks remaining—this ensures even freezing.
  4. Taste mixture and adjust honey or lemon juice as needed for balanced sweetness and brightness.
  5. Pour mixture into popsicle molds, filling almost to top but leaving room for expansion.
  6. Gently tap molds on counter to release air bubbles that could affect texture.
  7. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours until completely solid.
  8. To remove, run molds under warm water for few seconds until popsicles release easily.
  9. Serve immediately or wrap individually for longer storage.
