Servings
8 Popsicles (depending on size of the mould)
Ingredients
Strawberries (blended) - 200g
Strawberries (blended) - 200g
Oranges (blended) - 200g
Pineapples (blended) - 200g
Kiwis (blended) - 200g
Blueberries (blended) - 200g
(Optional)
Coconut Water -1 to 2 Tbsp
1. For each of the different coloured fruits layers (red - strawberries, orange - oranges, yellow - pineapples, green - kiwis, blue - blueberries), place the fruits in the blender and blend until a smooth puree is obtained. Remember to wash the blender thoroughly before blending the next layer.
2. For fruits like the pineapples and blueberries, you may wish to add in 1 to 2 tbsp of coconut water to allow smoother blending of the puree.
3. Distribute the different coloured fruits puree evenly into the popsicles mould, layer by layer.
4. Freeze the popsicles for at least 6 hours (or overnight) until the popsicles are firm.
5. To remove popsicles from their moulds, dip moulds in glass of water for 10 seconds. This will ensure the popsicles come out smoothly from the moulds. Serve while popsicles are firm.
