RED, WHITE & BLUE ALL-FRUIT POPSICLES

Red, White & Blue All-Fruit Popsicles
Makes 6 large popsicles and 6 small popsicles

• 2 cups frozen bananas
• 1/4 fresh pineapple
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1 1/2 cups watermelon {frozen}
• popsicle molds or dixie cups with popsicle sticks {small popsicle molds worked best!}
• orange juice, if needed **

Combine frozen bananas, pineapple and lemon juice in a blender. Add up to 2 TBSP of hot water to make the mixture more blendable. You like that, I just made a word up~ blendable. As in, able-to-be-blended. Blend until smooth.

Put several blueberries into each popsicle mold. {Fill molds about 1/3 of the way.}

Spoon or pour some banana mixture into each mold, covering the blue berries. Tap the molds on the counter to make the banana mixture settle down into the mold. The molds should be about 2/3 full at this point.

Place in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes.

Blend strawberries and frozen watermelon. Spoon into each mold, filling them almost to the top. Place popsicle sticks into each pop. Freeze until firm, about 2-3 hours. Because these pops are made with all fruit, they're a bit softer than other homemade popsicles I've made. Smaller molds worked better!

**If at any point the fruit mixture isn't blending well, just add a TBSP or two of orange juice- it really helps to smooth the mixture out.

Enjoy!
