Why Mixed Berry Popsicles Are the Perfect Summer Treat

These frozen treats are one of the most delicious ways to get important nutrients with less sugar. Here are the main reasons I recommend this particular recipe: 

1. Bursting with flavor: The natural sweetness and tanginess of mixed berries combine to create a burst of delightful flavors in every lick or bite.
2. Nutrient-packed: Berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, are known for their high content of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. These popsicles provide a healthy and guilt-free indulgence packed with vitamin C. The yogurt adds protein, too.
3. Natural ingredients: this recipe has no artificial ingredients

How to Make Mixed Berries Popsicles

1. Gather the ingredients:
   • Frozen mixed berries (one cup strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
   • 1 cup of Greek yogurt (I use vanilla unsweetened)
2. Prepare the berries:
   • Rinse the berries under cold water and pat them dry.
   • Remove any stems or leaves and chop larger berries into smaller pieces.
3. Blend and sweeten:
   • In a blender, combine the mixed berries, honey or maple syrup, and yogurt or coconut milk.
   • Blend until smooth and well-combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
4. Fill the molds:
   • Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
   • If desired, drop a few fresh mint leaves into each mold for added freshness.
5. Freeze and enjoy:
   • Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer.
   • Allow the popsicles to freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid.
   • Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds by running them under warm water for a few seconds.
   • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.

Can I make popsicles using fresh berries?

Yes, you can, but I prefer to use frozen berries. Not only are they more budget-friendly, but they keep their consistency much better. Fresh fruit is obviously a delicious choice, but when making popsicles, I feel they can get mushy very quick. You can also combine fresh strawberries with other frozen berries.
