This raspberry and blueberry popsicles recipe is proof that kids will willingly consume fruit!
My kids love frozen fruit. I can freeze grapes or berries and then serve them while still froze to my kids and they will gobble them up. I am not sure what the makes frozen fruit more appealing than fresh fruit – maybe the texture? But I am not going challenge something that works. Instead I am going to capitalize on it!
Last summer, I discovered that I can add fruit to my kids popsicles. Not only do they not complain about the addition of fruit, they think it is delicious. So I have done quite a bit of experimenting with fruit popsicles. The small size of blueberries and raspberries makes them an easy addition to popsicles. Just wash them and toss them in – no slicing or dicing required to make them fit in the popsicle mold.
These popsicles are made with coconut water, but if you don't have any, you can substitute lemonade or your child's favorite juice.
