Description

These Homemade Fruit Popsicles are a refreshing and healthy treat perfect for hot days. Made with fresh fruit, yogurt or juice, and naturally sweetened with honey, these popsicles offer a smooth, delicious flavor with a hint of vanilla and lemon. Easy to make using a blender and frozen overnight, they are perfect for a guilt-free snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Fruit Popsicle Ingredients

  • ¾ cup yogurt or juice (6.5 oz)
  • 2 ½ cups fruit (fresh or frozen)
  • 4-6 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including yogurt or juice, fruit, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to ensure a smooth blending process.
  2. Blend Mixture: Add all ingredients to the container of your Vitamix blender in the order listed. Blend for 50-70 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth and consistent.
  3. Fill Popsicle Molds: Pour the blended mixture evenly into six wells of a popsicle mold to ensure equal portion sizes.
  4. Assemble Molds: Secure the lids and sticks onto the molds to prepare them for freezing.
  5. Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the popsicles to solidify fully.
  6. Release Popsicles: To remove, run the molds under hot water for about 30 seconds to loosen the popsicles, then gently pull them out from the molds.
  7. Enjoy Immediately or Store: Enjoy the popsicles right away as a cool treat, or for later storage, lay them on a baking sheet and flash freeze for 30 minutes.
  8. Store Properly: After flash freezing, place the popsicles in an airtight, freezer-safe container or Ziploc bag until ready to serve.

Notes

  • You can customize the fruit used depending on your preference or seasonal availability.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to control the sweetness level.
  • Using yogurt will make the popsicles creamier compared to juice which will yield a more icy texture.
  • If you do not have a Vitamix, any high-powered blender will work.
  • Ensure the popsicles freeze completely before removing to avoid breakage.
  • For a dairy-free option, use coconut or almond yogurt or juice instead of traditional yogurt.
