Ya dig? Ya dig.
When I was dreaming up my Popsicle recipe I was reminded of the most refreshing frozen fruit experience I’ve ever had. It happened during the peak of summer two years ago.
It was hot, everyone was sweating, and my friend had scored a major load of fruit on sale at Sam’s. Since you can’t consume 8 pounds of blueberries by yourself in one week – I’ve tried – she decided to freeze the leftovers into little snack baggies and she gifted one to little old me.
I know, I have the cutest mom friends ever.
My little frozen fruit baggie beheld mandarin oranges, blueberries and bananas. So good, so simple. I remember the fruit being so refreshing, like a Popsicle, only all natural and totally healthy. I had to have it again.
So, this week I crafted my very own all-fruit Popsicles that require just four ingredients and NO Popsicle molds, because I don’t own one and I ain’t buyin’ one. Besides, when you have Dixie cups and wooden sticks, why do you need fancy pants Popsicle molds? To impress your neighbors? DON’T THINK SO.
Behold, the all-fruit, 4-ingredient Popsicle.
Peaches.
Oranges.
Blueberries.
All soaked in orange juice.
Oh mama.
Icy, simple, tart, sweet, soft in spots from the frozen fruit. I’m in Popsicle havana heaven. Wanna join?
