Pure Fruit Popsicles
After Little Man's birthday, we had a lot of fruit salad left over from the Fun Fruit Salad I had made. My kids love fruit, but even still, I knew I would end up throwing away a bunch of fruit if I didn't figure out something else to do with it. So, I decided to make pure fruit popsicles.
I got out the blender, dumped a bunch of fruit in, and pureed it. The fruit salad was grapes, watermelon, and strawberries. The popsicles turned out great. They froze well, and they tasted good. They were actually pretty sweet, too, despite the fact that I didn't add any sugar or sweetener of any kind.
I just made popsicles again, and just tossed in a couple handfuls of grapes, a couple handfuls of strawberries (with the tops cut out, of course) and that was that.
You can make these popsicles with whatever fruit your family likes best.
They even won my kids' approval. Miss Magoo was yelling, "We love popsicles!" Little Man was too busy eating his to smile for me.

I love these! What a great idea! I wish I could think of some of this stuff. I'm trying these for sure! Get them to eat more fruit! lol
Thanks, Jody! Most of the time I try to go for the "easier is better" approach, and these are really easy 🙂
I cannot wait until it is HOT enough to make these all the time and I will! I cannot wait to try them.

I pinned them.
Thanks, Diane! We make them all the time during the heat of summer. I love switching it up by putting different fruit combinations in. So delicious!
Kasey, my husband brought home some popsicles and I started reading through the ingredients and I was aghast. I swear the first 5 ingredients were all variations of sweeteners (dextrose, fructose, corn syrup, etc). Yuck!
Bingo! I've begged myhubby to stop bringing home those freezie pops because I am convinced they are causing my 2 year olds to go wild! This looks like an excellent {healthy} alternative! Thanks for linking it up with me at Walking Redeemed last week!
Great idea. I always have fruit that is just about to turn and these would be great for grand kids. Thanks for sharing!
