Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 6 ounces reduced-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup coconut water
- 1/3 cup honey
Fruit and Zest
- 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Place the reduced-fat Greek yogurt, coconut water, honey, cubed avocado, fresh lime juice, lime zest, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice into a blender. Puree the mixture until it is completely smooth to ensure a creamy popsicle texture.
- Prepare Molds: Pour the pureed mixture evenly into popsicle molds or paper cups. If using specialized molds, insert the pop holders. If using paper cups, cover them with foil and insert popsicle sticks through the foil to secure them.
- Freeze: Place the filled molds or cups in the freezer and allow them to freeze until firm, typically at least 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
- Serve: To unmold the popsicles, let them stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes to loosen slightly. Carefully remove from the molds and enjoy your refreshing avocado-lime popsicles.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, ensure that the avocado is ripe and soft before blending.
- If you like your popsicles sweeter, adjust the amount of honey to taste.
- You can substitute coconut water with regular water or almond milk for a different flavor profile.
- Make sure to use fresh lime and lemon juice and zest for the brightest flavor.
- If you do not have popsicle molds, small paper cups and wooden sticks are a great alternative.
