TIPS FOR REFRESHING BERRY SMOOTHIE POPSICLES

  • Creamier Texture: Use a full-fat Greek yoghurt for an ultra-creamy consistency. If using non-dairy yoghurt, ensure it has a thick texture.
  • Naturally Sweetened: If the fruit is naturally sweet, skip the honey for a lower-sugar option. Adding an extra banana can enhance sweetness without added sugar.
  • Easy Unmolding: If popsicles are stuck in the mould, run warm water over the sides for 5-10 seconds to loosen them.
  • Even Freezing: Place moulds on a flat surface in the freezer to ensure the popsicles freeze evenly.
  • Serving Idea: Serve with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate or a sprinkle of granola for extra crunch.

VARIATIONS

  • Tropical Blend: Swap berries for mango, pineapple, or coconut yoghurt for a tropical flavour.
  • Chocolate Delight: Add 1 tsp of cocoa powder to the blend for a chocolatey twist.
  • Nut Butter Swirl: Swirl in ½ tsp of peanut butter or almond butter before freezing for added richness.
  • Dairy-Free Alternative: Use coconut yoghurt or almond yoghurt for a fully plant-based version.
  • Extra Protein: Add ½ scoop of vanilla protein powder to turn these popsicles into a high-protein snack.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Freezing: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks for the best flavour and texture.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Make multiple batches and store them in freezer bags for a ready-to-eat, healthy treat.
  • Re-Freezing: Avoid re-freezing melted popsicles, as they may lose their smooth texture.
