It's been awhile since I've popped some info on this site...a busy past few weeks, but now back in the blogger's seat and ready to share some good stuff...
How about we start with a popsicle?
Who doesn't love a good popsicle on a hot day?
Read the ingredient list on a popsicle wrapper lately? Eeek!
Try this: First, you'll need a juicer. Don't have one yet? Go out and buy one...they're economical and it's one small appliance you'll never regret purchasing. Combine some blueberries, red raspberries, strawberries. If using fresh, pop them in and juice away. If frozen (Walmart has very nice and reasonably priced frozen berries), first defrost before juicing. I had some organic pineapple and mango juice from some canned fruit I was using for a different recipe, so I dumped the juice into the bowl with the juiced fruits. If you don't have a sweet juice to mix in, try about a 1/4 c. of agave nectar (easy to find these days...hooray!). Pour into popsicle molds or, in a pinch, an ice tray, and freeze. That's it! So very easy and SO very good in a few hours.
Remember, the residue from your juicing can go into the compose pile for future good additives for your garden. Or, if you don't mind the little seeds, just eat it also.
If you want a change of pace, add a little Greek yogurt to the mix before putting into the molds and freezing. You'll get a creamier popsicle. Just remember to sweeten to your liking.
A no cane sugar, no additive popsicle...yum!
