Notes

Age: 9+ months (omit the sweetener for 12 months and younger). Though it may be too cold for younger ones to hold the ice pops. 
Yield: this recipe makes roughly 2 cups of popsicle mixture, which turned out to be 4 ice pops for me (my ice pop sleeves hold a lot of the mixture). So depending on the brand you buy, you could end up getting more or less ice pops.  
Notes on Juice: you can omit the juice/liquid if you prefer or don’t have it on hand. It helps thin out the popsicle mixture a little bit, but the popsicles are also great without the juice/liquid added in. 
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 sweetener.
