Super Flavourful Blueberry Blender Popsicles
So easy, so packed with blueberry flavour! Blend up these nourishing blueberry popsicles - with an optional hint of fresh basil - in minutes for a craveable frozen treat.
Equipment
- High Speed Blender
- popsicle molds
Ingredients
- 4 cups blueberries fresh or frozen (recommend thawing for 10 minutes!)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Optional...but highly recommended
- ⅓ cup fresh basil leaves use less if skeptical!
Instructions
- Place the blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice and basil, if using, to the blender.
- Blend on low, and slowly increase to medium low, then medium and then high, as blueberries liquify. If you're using fresh berries, they blend easily!
- If using frozen berries, take your time increasing the speed, it might take a full two minutes to get to high and you might need to scrape once or twice in the beginning. Really struggling to blend? Use 1-2 tbsp of water (no more than that!)
- Pour into popsicle molds, add sticks and freeze until solid, at least 6-8 hours. Fresh berries gel very quickly, like a jam, due to their soluble fibre, so pour slowly and maybe with a spatula to help control the flow!
Notes
Fun idea: you can also freeze these in ice cube trays as starters for smoothies or frozen drinks!
