Total Time: 15 mins

Serves: 6 pops
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup lemonade
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of pineapple juice, 1/2 cup of lemonade, 1/2 cup of blueberries, and 2 tablespoons of honey (if desired).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple juice and lemonade. Stir well to ensure they are fully mixed.
- If you prefer a sweeter ice pop, add 2 tablespoons of honey to the juice mixture. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved.
- Rinse the blueberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Take your ice pop molds and place a few blueberries at the bottom of each mold. This will create a lovely visual effect when the pops are frozen.
- Pour the pineapple lemonade mixture into the molds, filling them about 3/4 full to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered and straight.
- Carefully place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid.
- Once frozen, remove the ice pops from the molds by running warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to help loosen them.
- Gently pull the pops out of the molds and enjoy your refreshing Pineapple Lemonade Ice Pops with Blueberries!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemonade and high-quality pineapple juice. If you have ripe pineapples, blending them into juice can enhance the taste even more!
- Experiment with Sweetness: Adjust the honey to your liking! If you prefer a tart flavor, skip the honey altogether or reduce the amount. You can also substitute with agave syrup or a sugar alternative if desired.
- Layering is Key: For a beautiful presentation, try layering the blueberries and the juice mixture. Start with a layer of blueberries, then pour in a bit of juice, and repeat. This not only looks stunning but also gives you a surprise burst of blueberry flavor!
- Don’t Rush the Freezing: Allow the ice pops to freeze for at least 4-6 hours. For the best results, leave them overnight. This ensures they are solid and won’t melt too quickly when you enjoy them.
- Easily Remove from Molds: If you’re having trouble getting the pops out of the molds, run warm water over the outside for a few seconds. This will help loosen them without compromising their shape.
- Get Creative: Feel free to add other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or even a splash of coconut water for a tropical twist. The possibilities are endless!
