Common Questions About Smoothie Popsicles

Can I Use Different Fruits for Smoothie Popsicles?

Absolutely! One of the best parts about making smoothie popsicles is that you can use your favorite fruits. Whether you love blueberries, mangoes, or pineapple, they all make great additions.

You can even mix and match different kinds of fruits to create your own unique flavors. It’s a great way to use up any leftover smoothies or fresh fruit you have on hand.

Can I Make Smoothie Popsicles Without Added Sugar?

Yes, you can! If you want to keep your popsicles free of added sugar, simply skip the honey in this recipe. The natural sweetness from the fruits, especially the strawberries and banana, will still make your popsicles taste delicious. You can also use natural sweeteners like maple syrup or agave if you prefer.

Storage

I love having some fruit popsicles on hand in the freezer. The homemade popsicles are always my favorite.

Refrigerator

While smoothie popsicles are best enjoyed frozen, you can store the smoothie mixture in the refrigerator if you have some left over. Keep it in an airtight container and use it to make more popsicles or drink it as a refreshing smoothie later.

Freezer

Smoothie popsicles should be stored in the freezer. Once they are completely frozen, you can transfer them from the molds to a freezer-safe bag or an airtight container. They will stay fresh and delicious for up to two months, making them a great option for a healthy snack anytime.
