Yield: 6 POPSICLES
prep time: 10 MINUTES
total time: 8 HOURS, 10 MINUTES
INGREDIENTS:
Healthy strawberry banana popsicles made with only 3 ingredients. Beat the heat with a skinny treat this summer!
Ingredients:
1 large ripe banana, peeled, cut into chunks, & frozen
12 large strawberries, sliced in half
1/2 cup pineapple juice (or orange juice)
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
Popsicle mold (here is the one I own)
DIRECTIONS:
Blend all of the ingredients together on high speed until smooth – about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed as you go.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds. If your popsicle mold has slots for sticks, you can insert them before freezing – if not, freeze for 2 hours, then put a wooden popsicle stick in the middle (that is what I did). Continue to freeze for an additional 6 hours or overnight – overnight is recommended for easy removal.
Run popsicle molds under warm water to easily remove. Eat on a hot day. Enjoy!
Additional Notes:
Taste the mixture before freezing. If you prefer the popsicles to be sweeter, you can add a bit of honey. If your strawberries and banana are ripe, you shouldn’t need additional sweetener.
