A Tasty Treat
Nothing beats a classic flavor-packed ice pop on a hot summer's day or to soothe a sore throat. Ice pops made from juice are vegan friendly and gluten-free, so they're an easy crowd pleaser at parties.
Ingredients
- 3 oz juice per ice pop mold
- 9 oz juice to fill all 3 molds
Method
- Place molds in included freezer stand.
- Pour in juice to the top of the mold.
- Add ice pop stick topper with the handle facing upwards.
- Leave in freezer overnight or until frozen solid.
To remove the silicone mold, pull it over the ice pop, then stretch it over the end. If it's stuck, try running it under warm water quickly first.
TIP: Want to make it extra special? Use juice with two different colors. Add the first juice to your mold and pop it in the freezer until it's just started to freeze into a slush. Then top it off with a second color, add the plastic stick, and freeze until solid.
Health Break
Trying to go easy on artificial colors and flavors? Make your ice pops with fresh fruit, lemon-water or coconut water. Our favorite combinations are blueberries with lemon-water (just squeeze some fresh lemon into a cup of water!) and mango with coconut water.
Ingredients

- 9 oz lemon-water or coconut water to fill all 3 molds
