Assorted Fresh Fruit Popsicles ~ Lightly sweetened with dates, bananas and a drop or two of Stevia, they taste like dessert but are a very healthy snack.

Over the last few years I’ve made a bunch of popsicles, but very few recipes were deemed “blog worthy”.  That’s what happens when I try to get all fancy-schmancy.  Sticking with simple, fresh, natural ingredients, like those in my Assorted Fresh Fruit Popsicles, is the best plan for me.   Many mornings I enjoy a fruit smoothie for breakfast and it occurred to me that my breakfast may make a great popsicle and a perfect summer treat for my grandson.

Do you remember the boxes of assorted double stick popsicles?  Those were my favorite growing up.  Back in the day I always picked the cherry or grape flavored pop.  Now I love all fruits and couldn’t decide which flavor to make, so I made an assortment.  Lightly sweetened with dates, bananas and a drop or two of Stevia, they taste like dessert but are a very healthy snack.

    So many choices, and they all look good! My grandson will be spending the summer with me and I’m sure we’ll tuck some of these into the freezer. I can already predict that strawberry will be his favorite! 🙂

    Hi Tricia, yes I do remember these popsicles, a blast from the past for sure. Yours look delicious! I just started watching Blue Bloods too and that Tom Selleck is still so very handsome. Anyway, have a great week-end!

    This is so smart! I love how you made the varieties to show us and it’s perfect that the recipe makes just 2 so we can play around with it. I do remember those popsicles that you mentioned (the grape was my favorite, too) but this is so much better. It’s actually a healthy treat and they look so amazing with all the various colors. Can’t decide which flavor I like more but having the choice is great! Enjoy the weekend!

    I remember the double stick popsicles! AND I just binged on Mad Men from the first episode to the last (7 seasons I think) with one of their ad customers being Popsicle and featuring the double stick version. Break it in half and share with a friend. YOUR popsicles are not only lovely but smart and practical and fun! Who wouldn’t love a healthy, pretty popsicle for breakfast in the summer?!

      Haha Toni – we haven’t binged on Mad Men yet – but recently got into Blue Blood – as my husbands boss told us to watch it. I think it has 4 or 5 seasons – who knows! I love these – especially the pineapple and strawberry – and all natural – wooohooo! Have a great weekend!
