Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (225g) strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup (150g) mango, peeled and diced
- 1 medium banana (about 120g), peeled
- Juice of 1 orange (about ¼ cup / 60ml)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup (60ml) water, coconut water, or fruit juice
- ½ cup (75g) fresh blueberries or raspberries (optional)
- Mint leaves, finely chopped (optional)
- ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yoghurt (optional)
Instructions:
- Wash and chop all fruit as needed. Juice the orange and lemon.
- In a blender, combine strawberries, mango, banana, orange juice, lemon juice, water/coconut water, and honey/maple syrup. Blend until smooth.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with more honey or lemon, if needed.
- Stir in optional ingredients like whole or chopped berries, mint, or whisk in yoghurt for a creamy swirl appearance.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds using a jug or funnel, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion.
- Carefully insert sticks into the centre of each mould.
- Freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight until solid.
- To release the pops, briefly run the moulds under warm water for 10–15 seconds, then gently pull out the pops.
