Instructions
CARROT ORANGE GINGER POPSICLE
1. Place all ingredients into a blender and puree for 1-2 minutes on high speed or until completely smooth. This mixture will have some pulp in it from the oranges, which you can strain in a fine-mesh strainer if you prefer your pops completely smooth. My pops were not strained. Pour mixture into popsicle molds, place in freezer and freeze for at least 5 hours.
BANANA SWEET POTATO CHOCOLATE FUDGSICLE
1. Place dates in a small bowl. Pour hot water over the dates until completely submerged. Let soak for 5 minutes.
Place all ingredients into a blender and puree for 1-2 minutes on high speed or until completely smooth. This mixture can be a little thick, add in more water if needed. Pour mixture into popsicle molds, place in freezer and freeze for at least 5 hours.
ALL OTHER POPSICLES
1. Place all ingredients into a blender and puree for 1-2 minutes on high speed or until completely smooth. Pour mixture into popsicle molds, place in freezer and freeze for at least 5 hours.
Notes
Age: roughly 9 months and older. For babies under a year, omit the honey.Yield: 9 mini popsiclesStorage: Store in freezer for up to 2 monthsNote on Honey: For babies one year and under, omit the honey. I find that these popsciles are sweet enough for baby, but you can also add in a touch of maple syrup if you prefer. Note on Sweeteners: I woud say these popsicles are lightly sweetened. If you prefer a sweeter popsicle, you can add more sweetener of your choise. You can also omit the sweetener altogether. Note on Yield: This recipe will make roughly 3/4 – 1 cup of popsicle mixture which is enough to fill the Zoku Mini Mold. If you are not using this mold, then you will have to adjust the recipe accordingly. If there was a little extra popsicle mixture left over, I like to thin it out with a little water and give it to my girls as a juice:)
