Mixed Berry Quick Pop

We had several days of strawberry ice cream pops, so today I asked the kids what new option they wanted to try. Vanilla pudding or fruit smoothie. Z just yelled about wanting stars, and M chose fruit smoothie, so that was decided.

Ingredients:
1 cup apple juice
1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry)
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
(10 minute freeze time)

I tried the mix with only one tablespoon of sugar, but I thought it was too tart and would be worse after freezing, so I added a touch more.

I shaved a thin slice of apple and used a star shaped punch to add stars on Z's pop, but then I didn't take a picture. Oops. Apple slices work better than strawberry, at least for the star. Came out less blobby looking.

Both kids liked them. Success. Still had enough mix for another 2-4 popsicles. It's a frozen smoothie, what's not to like?
