Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Paleo Vegan
Serves: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Rinse the fresh blueberries thoroughly under cool running water, removing any stems or damaged berries.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the blueberries, coconut yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined, creating a vibrant purple-blue mixture.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more honey or maple syrup.
- Carefully pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, ensuring they stand upright and are evenly distributed.
- Place the filled popsicle molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely, which typically takes about 4-6 hours or overnight.
- To remove popsicles, run the mold briefly under warm water to help release them easily. Gently twist and pull each popsicle from its mold.
- Serve immediately or wrap individually in parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe container for up to one week.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Berries: For the best flavor, opt for ripe, fresh blueberries. If they’re out of season, frozen blueberries can work as a convenient alternative—just thaw them before blending.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Taste the mixture before pouring it into molds. Depending on your preference and the natural sweetness of the blueberries, you might want to add a bit more honey or maple syrup.
- Mold Variety: If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups. Just insert a wooden stick once the mixture has started to freeze (about 1-2 hours in).
- Creative Twists: Feel free to experiment by adding other fruits like bananas or strawberries to the mixture for a fruity twist or incorporating a dash of cinnamon for added flavor.
- Storage Tips: To keep your popsicles fresh, wrap each one in parchment paper before placing them in a freezer-safe container. This helps prevent freezer burn and keeps them tasting great for up to a week!
- Easy Release: When it’s time to enjoy your popsicles, briefly running warm water over the outside of the mold will help them release easily without breaking.
