Tropical Fruit Pops

The Tropical Fruit Pops recipe blends frozen mango, fresh pineapple, frozen strawberry, banana, almond milk, orange juice, and honey into sweet, refreshing frozen treats. The fruit purees are layered or swirled in pop molds, then frozen until solid. These popsicles balance tropical fruit flavors with natural sweetness and a creamy hint from the almond milk, making a cool, fruity snack or dessert especially suitable for warm weather.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz Mango frozen
  • 4 oz pineapple fresh
  • 4 oz strawberry frozen
  • ½ banana or 2-3 oz extra berry, mango, or pineapple
  • 1 cup almond milk unsweetened or coconut milk
  • ¼ cup orange juice lemon or lime juice work great too, fresh
  • 2 TBSP honey raw
TOOLS NEEDED
  • 10 pop mold
  • 10 Wooden popsicle sticks

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine mango, pineapple, 1/2 cup almond milk, and 2 TBSP orange juice in you blender and blend until pureed.
  2. Pulse honey in at the end for best results
  3. Set mixture aside by pouring into in a measuring cup with a pourable spout, if you have one.
  4. Next add strawberry and banana (or 2-3 extra ounces of your fruit of choice) to the blender with 1/2 cup almond milk and 2 TBSP orange juice and blend.
  5. Pulse in honey at the end and set aside.
  6. Using about half the mango-pineapple mixture, pour a little into each pop mold.
  7. Top with your strawberry layer then repeat with the remaining mango mixture.
  8. Insert a pop stick into each mixture and swirl together. You can also pop the mold into the freezer between each layer for a pretty striped pop. I go the easy swirl-y route, haha!
  9. Leave a little bit of empty space at the top of each pop mold, pops will expand when they freeze.
  10. Freeze until solid: Approx. 5 hours or overnight.
  11. If your mold uses a lid and wooden sticks, you can allow your pops to partially freeze, uncovered, for about an hour, then add the lid and carefully insert the sticks. The partially frozen slush will cradle the stick and help you keep it straight for easy removal. This method is great because you can also place the sticks more on the shallow side this way, allowing more of a handle for little (or large!) hands to grip.

Notes

  • To easily remove popsicles, dip the mold briefly in warm water without submerging the top; the pops pop out cleanly.
  • If you need a vegan option, substitute honey with agave nectar or your preferred sweetener.
  • Using a mix of fresh and frozen fruit is fine; adjust liquid amounts accordingly, more for frozen fruit and less for fresh.
  • This recipe yields 10 pops and uses standard pop molds with wooden sticks.
