Ingredients

  • 1 cup sliced strawberries approx. 4-6 strawberries
  • 1 small banana approx. ¾ cup sliced
  • 1 cup almond milk or plant milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender and process to your desired consistency. I made these ones smooth, but you can leave a few fruit chunks if preferred.
  2. Then fill your six popsicle molds, but leave a touch of space for expansion. Then tap the mold down on your counter to release air bubbles. Place the mold lids on top and freeze for 4-6 hours, or overnight. Keep frozen until serving.NOTE: If using popsicle sticks, freeze the mold for 1-2 hours, just enough for the sticks to hold straight, and then add the sticks and continue freezing until solid.
To remove from the mold
    Cup of Yum
  1. Fill a bowl with warm water, as tall as your mold and place it inside, without overflowing the top where the sticks are. Wait 15-20 seconds before removing, and then use a side-to-side motion to remove the popsicles from the mold.
  2. You may also run the popsicles under warm water using your kitchen sink faucet for 15-20 seconds, or until they remove easily.
  3. If the popsicles are still soft, place them on a plate and return them to the freezer.

Notes

  • Use a very ripe banana that is spotted brown for natural sweetness.
  • When strawberries are in season and extra sweet, you may skip the optional maple syrup for a no sugar added dessert.
  • For chunkier pieces of fruit in your strawberry banana popsicles, use a food processor and do not overprocess.
  • For evenly smooth pink popsicles, use a blender until pureed.
  • If using popsicle sticks (instead of the lids that come with your mold), freeze the mold for 1-2 hours, just enough for the sticks to hold straight, and then add the sticks and continue freezing until solid.
  • If using popsicle sticks (instead of the lids that come with your mold), freeze the mold for 1-2 hours, just enough for the sticks to hold straight, and then add the sticks and continue freezing until solid.
  • Freeze time will vary according to the thickness of your mold. Most popsicles will freeze in 4-6 hours.
