Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 banana
- 0.5 cup diced mango
Liquid Base:
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tbsp honey
Extras:
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp salt
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and hull the mixed berries, ensuring they are clean and free from stems or debris.
- Peel and slice the banana into small chunks for smooth blending.
- Dice the mango into fine, uniform pieces to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Combine the mixed berries, banana, and mango in a blender, creating a vibrant fruit base.
- Add plain yogurt, milk, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender, creating a creamy and balanced liquid mixture.
- Blend all ingredients on high speed for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and well-incorporated.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with additional honey if desired.
- Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small space at the top for expansion during freezing.
- Insert popsicle sticks into each mold, ensuring they are centered and stable.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer for 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely solid.
- To release, briefly run the mold under warm water for 10-15 seconds to loosen the popsicles.
- Gently remove the popsicles and serve immediately for a refreshing, fruity treat.
Notes
- Select ultra-ripe fruits for maximum natural sweetness and intense flavor without extra sugar.
- Experiment with alternative milk options like almond, coconut, or oat milk for different dietary needs and unique taste profiles.
- Freeze extra ripe bananas beforehand to create an even creamier, more luxurious popsicle texture that mimics gelato.
- Use silicone molds for easier popsicle removal and more flexible sizing options compared to traditional plastic molds.
