4rth of July homemade Popsicle!

Hello Beautiful people!

Happy 4th!!! and if you are reading this after the 4th I hope you had a great one!! 🙂 and if you are outside of the u.s then you can still enjoy this as an AWESOME summer treat 🙂

One thing I’ve noticed about holidays on my vegan lifestyle is that… I am often left out because I don’t enjoy certain creamy snacks!!! but I have kind of learnt to bring my own snacks to events…

But what kind of snack could possibly be good for a hot summer’s day? well.. POPSICLES!!! 🙂

now I don’t like buying popsicles when they are just so easy to make… without all the added sugar and stuff like that… so once again I turned to Gemma’s Youtube 🙂 Gemma makes Awesome desserts and I have been obsessed with her dairy free stuff!!!

I will leave a link to her popsicle video below, which is where I took the original pic and ingredients from as well !!!

I used my NutriBullet and it worked just fine and for the popsicle container I just got from my local grocery store!! it was 3-4 dollars!!

I think you can just use whatever fruit you have and start experimenting! but here are some fun ideas from Gemma’s Channel 🙂

Fresh Mango & Strawberry Popsicles

INGREDIENTS

12-15 large fresh Strawberry, Hulled And Halved

2 whole Ripe Mango, Peeled, Pitted And Cut Into Chunks

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Puree mango chunks until smooth, and set aside.

2. Puree the strawberries until smooth, and set aside.

In your mold, fill ⅓ way with your mango puree, then follow with another ⅓ of Strawberry puree and then top it off with the mango.

3. Cover mold, add sticks and freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight.

TIP: Run the molds under warm water to loosen up the popsicles.

This is my FAVORITE ONE… I also like just doing a plain orange one as well… so sweet and refreshing!!!

Lemonade Popsicles 

Makes 6 Popscicles

INGREDIENTS

1 Kiwi, peeled and thinly sliced

10 raspberries, cut in half

5 strawberries

1 peach

10 Blueberries

2 Cups (16floz/ 400ml) fresh Lemonade (or you can use any fruit juice of your choice)

lime zest (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To you mold, add your favorite sliced fruit.

2. Zest the lime into your lemonade. This is optional but I think you should try it because it tastes amazing and fresh.

3. Fill your mold to the top with fresh lemonade, add the sticks and place in freezer until popsicles are frozen, around 5 hours

TIP: Run the molds under warm water to loosen up the popsicles.

There are more recipes in the video if you are interested! some have dairy and cream in them, I just like to stick to the good old Fruit ones, healthy Guilty-free because they are cruelty free 🙂
