Fresh fruit popsicles


All this rain and fog has got me wishing for summertime weather and food :P

I have been reading other blogs that have made these yummy treats and figured I should give it a try. I have made homemade popsicles before, but just with juice. Anything frozen on a stick is FUN and since I have two kids that will eat them up, why not?

These are really easy to make, and the possibilities are endless. Strawberries are in season where I live right now, I decided on a strawberry puree for the top and the white part is soy raspberry yogurt, and finished off with the frozen wild blueberries I have in my freezer.

Because I made the puree so thick there was no need to wait between layers for freezing, I just poured layer over layer inserted the stick and froze for about 4 hours. ( it would be even better with coconut milk, but you would have to wait between freezing's.

strawberry puree

1 cup strawberries
1/2 tbsp organic cane sugar
3- 4 tbsp apple juice

blueberry puree

1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 tbsp organic cane sugar
3-4 tbsp non-dairy milk

  1. I made something like this last week with all the strawberries. Instead of sugar I used a banana and apple sauce. Yum Yum

  7. 3 Studies REVEAL Why Coconut Oil Kills Waist Fat.

    The meaning of this is that you actually burn fat by eating coconut fats (including coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).

    These 3 researches from big medical magazines are sure to turn the traditional nutrition world upside down!
