INGREDIENTS

• 1 kiwi, peeled and thinly sliced
• 10 raspberries, cut in half
• 5 strawberries
• 1 peach
• 10 blueberries
• 2 cups (16floz/ 400ml) fresh Lemonade (or you can use any fruit juice of your choice)
• Lime zest (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. In your mold, add your favorite sliced fruit.
2. Zest the lime into your lemonade. This is optional but I think you should try it because it tastes amazing and fresh.
3. Fill your mold to the top with fresh lemonade, add the sticks and place in freezer until popsicles are frozen, around 5 hours.

TIP: Run the molds under warm water to loosen up the popsicles.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 kiwis
• 10 large strawberry halves
• 1 mango, roughly chopped
• 30 blueberries, roughly

DIRECTIONS

1. Working with one fruit at a time, puree in a small food processor.
2. Rinse the machine out between fruits.
3. Carefully spoon layer by layer of your fruit into each popsicle mold.
4. I didn’t freeze layer by layer because I thought my layers stayed nice but if you want absolute perfect lines then feel free too.
5. Cover mold, add sticks and freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight.

TIP: Run the molds under warm water to loosen up the popsicles.

NOTE: The fruit amounts are approximate; depending on your mold you may need a little more or a little less. You can always add a little water or yogurt to stretch the amount.

INGREDIENTS

• 30 blueberries, hulled and cleaned
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 cup (8oz/225g) vanilla yogurt (or add some vanilla to plain yogurt)

DIRECTIONS

2. Mix in the lemon zest.
3. Alternate adding the blueberry puree and yogurt into popsicle molds.
4. Cover mold, add sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
