Notes

Age: 9+ months (omit the sweetener for 12 months and younger)
Yield: this recipe makes roughly 2 1/2 cups of popsicle mixture. You may need to increase/decrease that amount based on your popsicle mold size. If you have any leftovers, feel free to serve it as a smoothie or smoothie bowl to your kiddos (or yourself). 
Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your fruit and your sweetness preference, I recommend tasting the popsicle base before pouring it into the molds, as you may need a little more honey.

Sweetener Ideas
Adding a touch of natural sweetener to these homemade popsicles brings out their fruity flavors and helps reduce ice crystals from forming. Any of the following sweeteners will work beautifully.
    • maple syrup
    • honey (only serve to babies over 1 year)
    • agave nectar
    • simple syrup
    • sugar
Yogurt or Liquid Ideas
I like to add just a little liquid to ensure that the popsicle blend properly and are not too dense when frozen.
    • yogurt - plain whole milk
    • flavored yogurt
    • plant-based yogurt
    • coconut water
    • kefir - plain or flavored
    • canned coconut milk
    • apple juice
    • grape juice
    • orange juice
Add-Ins
While definitely not necessary, sometimes it's fun to add in some fun add-ins to your popsicles if they are vibing with your fruit.
    • chopped fruit
    • mini chocolate chips
    • swirl of peanut butter
    • swirl of chocolate
    • swirl of yogurt
    • handful of spinach
    • squeeze of lemon, lime, or orange
