I have had my days of store-bought nasties with added gums and sugar along with so-called "natural flavours". Oh, no, I want to enjoy the finer things with a dainty homemade popsicle made with 100% fruit, no added sugar. 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?
4 - 6 fruitsicles (depending on mold size)
2 cups watermelon (cut into cubes)
1 cup pineapple pieces (I used fresh pineapple)
1 banana
4 dates
Handful of frozen blueberries (or other fruits cut into small pieces)
- Add all ingredients, except blueberries, to a blender.
- Blend at high speed until very smooth and slightly frothy.
- Place a few blueberries or fruit pieces into each mold.
- Pour smoothie into popsicle molds.
- Freeze for at least 3 hours before serving.
with the heat we have been having here in Ohio, those cold pops sure look fabulous right now. Hugs Lovelie from Millie
