Who’s excited for summer? I AM! I AM!

Warm summer weather is helpful to stay active, but keeping cool with calorie filled refreshments can throw you off track. This summer, ditch the ice cream for other sweet, low calorie frozen treats & keep that beach body you’ve worked so hard for!

Thanks to Alicia from BigGal Losing It for this recipe!

Makes 6 to 8 servings. You’ll need a blender (to purée) & a Popsicle mold.

Nutritional Info

Per serving (1 Popsicle): 40 calories (0 from fat), 0g total fat, 0g saturated fat, 0mg cholesterol, 0mg sodium, 10g total carbohydrate (1g dietary fiber, 9g sugar), 0g protein

Ingredients

• 1 cup puréed mango (from peeled fruit)
• 1 cup puréed ripe peaches (from peeled fruit)
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons sugar (optional. 1 tablespoon Agave sweetener if you prefer)
• Lime or lemon juice to taste
• 6 to 8 popsicle sticks

Method

• Combine fruit purées in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Over medium heat, dissolve sugar in water to make a simple syrup.
• Add syrup to purées, adding lime or lemon juice to taste.
• If you have Popsicle molds, fill them, leaving some room at the top to allow for expansion. Set the lids in place & insert the sticks through the holes. If you don’t have Popsicle molds, fill small cups or empty yogurt tubs about 3/4 full, stretch plastic or foil across the top and make a small slit to insert sticks.
• Freeze until firmly set, 3 to 4 hours. To remove the pops, first remove the lids or wrap, then squeeze the sides of the molds, twisting them slightly, to dislodge the pop. If necessary, rinse the outside of the molds under hot water first.

Note: You could always leave out the sugar for a less sweet taste that makes these sugar-free friendly too!

Enjoy!
