Ingredients
- 2 cups (300 g) soft fruit
- 1 small handful baby spinach, optional
- ½-1 orange, juiced, optional
- 1½-2¼ tbsp honey
- 2½ cups (625 ml) vanilla Greek yoghurt
Freezing time: 6 hours.
Instructions
- In a stand or smoothie blender, blitz up the fruit to a smooth puree, adding a tablespoon of water if the mixture isn't blending. If using a darker fruit such as blueberries or blackberries, you can add the optional spinach and orange juice now, blitzing until smooth. Transfer to a spouted bowl or a glass measuring cup. If using spinach along with lighter coloured fruit such as red berries or stone fruits, keep the spinach separate. Simply blitz the spinach and orange juice together and transfer to a separate bowl.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of honey to the berry, and if using, spinach mixtures, adding more to taste. Stir about ½ to 1 cup of yogurt into each mixture.
- Gently pour the berry mixture, spinach mixture, and yogurt into your ice pop molds to create a layered effect. If your mold has a lid with slots for wooden sticks, cover and add now. Transfer to the freezer for at least 6 hours or until firm. If your mold does not have a lid or a spot for wooden sticks, partially freeze the pops for 2 hours then insert the sticks. Return to the freezer for 4 to 6 hours or until firm.
