Homemade popsicles made with 100% fruit, no added sugar. As easy as blending fruits for a smoothie, these fruitsicles make a healthy treat for young and old alike.
Balmy days of late Spring are giving way to warmer ones despite the occasional thundery storms and rattling downpour which seems to have taken quite the bigger slice of the cake this season. Added to this, the 9-to-5 humdrum of work routine barely leaves a splinter of time to mellow out into the enjoyment of Summer days. And yet, because a girl has got to grab a pop of Summer, a frozen treat merely becomes a well-deserved reward if not a necessity.
I have had my days of store-bought nasties with added gums and sugar along with so-called “natural flavours”. Homemade popsicles are made with 100% fruit, no added sugar. They’re so much better for you.
As easy as blending fruits for a smoothie, these ice pops have literally cozied my heart leaving me wonder why I ever bought the commercial ones in the first place.
Pineapple makes a perfect ingredient for fruitsicles as they create a creamy froth when blended at high speed. Pair it with watermelon and you get a unique combination that freezes well into a grainier ice texture rather than a solid block. Isn’t it true that sometimes the best of things are just the simplest ones?
