How to Make These Popsicles More Sweet?
One of the healthiest ways to make these popsicles sweeter is to add frozen bananas. Not will they help balance the tangy berries, but they add a boost of vitamin C and potassium. Alternatively, adding honey or agave sweetener will also add a sweet kick to these mixed berry popsicles.
Top Tips for The Best Mixed Berry Popsicles
- For best results use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt as this will give your popsicles a creamier texture. Plain yogurt contains more water, so once frozen, the popsicles will be more icy.
- If you don’t have frozen berries, these popsicles are a great way to use up slightly bruised fresh fruit. Less kitchen waste and a tasty summer treat – what’s not to love?
- Thanks to the red, white, and blue ingredients these are the perfect gluten free dessert for a 4th July party.
