Why I wrote this popsicle recipe
My kiddo saw a Coco Melon show where the family makes popsicles, so I had his first real cooking related request: popsicles.
And you know what, they’re so relatively healthy compared to other things he could be eating that he had one for breakfast 😊

FAQs
These healthy homemade popsicles can be stored in store bought plastic popsicle molds.
To get these ice pops out of the popsicle mold, you first need to hold it by the stick end. Use your thumb and index finger and gently push together to loosen the mold. Lift the mold to expose the popsicle.
You could freeze them about two to three hours before they’re hardened up and ready to eat.
I used a mixture of strawberries and raspberries that were blended up in a Nutribullet.
Pulse or blend the fruit until it forms a thick consistency – the little chunks of fruit in these popsicles is part of the deliciousness.
If you do not have a mold handy, use an ice cube tray to hold the fruits juices and toothpicks as your popsicle sticks.
Be sure to cover the ice cube tray with plastic wrap so you can poke the toothpicks through as you are waiting for them to freeze.
Assuming you don’t eat these right away, they should last a few months in the freezer, so you can prepare them in advance of those hot days.
You’ll know that they aren’t good to eat when they have a ton of freezer burn on them. However, that can take months to form.
