FROZEN FRUIT POPS
To give these icy snacks a creamier sorbet-like texture, partially freeze the fruits before pureeing. Substitute other berries and fruit as you like, but always use some banana in each mixture for good consistency. I got this from Country Living(1992). Cook time is freezing time.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful fruit: This will ensure that your popsicles are packed with flavor. Overripe fruit can be used, but it may yield slightly less flavor.
- Use a variety of fruits: This will create visually appealing and delicious popsicles. You can use a single type of fruit or combine different fruits for a more complex flavor.
- Add natural sweeteners: If you want your popsicles to be sweeter, you can add natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Avoid using refined sugar.
- Add herbs and spices: For a more unique flavor, try adding herbs like mint or basil, or spices like ginger or cinnamon.
- Use yogurt or coconut milk: For a creamier texture, try using yogurt or coconut milk instead of water. This will also make your popsicles more nutritious.
- Freeze popsicles quickly: Once you have prepared your popsicles, freeze them as quickly as possible. This will help to prevent the formation of ice crystals, which can make your popsicles icy and less flavorful.
- Store popsicles properly: Once your popsicles are frozen, store them in an airtight container in the freezer. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
