Equipment

Ingredients

1.5 lbs whole strawberries
1 lb kiwis about 4 large 2
1 teaspoon chia seeds divided
2 teaspoons lemon juice divided

Instructions

Create Strawberry Layer: Hull strawberries and add them to a blender with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and half a teaspoon of chia seeds. Blend until the strawberries are a pourable puree. Note: If for some reason it is a thick blend that is not pourable, add a tablespoon of water and blend. All blended, it should be approximately 12 oz.
Pour strawberries into a Pyrex with a pour spout, or another measuring cup with a pour spout.
Create Kiwi Layer: Peel the kiwis and give a rough chop. Rinse out your blender and add kiwis with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1/2 chia seeds and blend until it's a pourable puree. All blended, it should be approximately 12 oz.
Pour kiwis into a Pyrex with a pour spout, or another measuring cup with a pour spout.
Fill Popsicle Molds: Set up popsicle molds and pour a layer of strawberry in each then a layer of kiwi. Repeat until all fruit puree has been added to popsicle molds.
Optional: Use a butter knife to put into molds and push one layer of fruit into the other to add color design in the popsicles.
Freeze: Add molds to the freeze and let freeze for at least 4-5 hours.
Enjoy!

Notes

The nutritional value is per popsicle.

Blending Tips

Dependent upon the power of your blender, chop your fruit for easier blending. With a high-powered blender, you can add the fruit nearly whole, but you may want to chop the fruit up for a blender that's not as powerful.

Add a tablespoon of water if your fruit blends are not pourable out of your blender.

Filling Popsicle Molds

These popsicle molds are 4 oz each, so that means you need a total of 24 oz to fill 6. This recipe will make about 12 oz of each strawberry and kiwi pureed but may be a little more dependent upon how you're measuring your fruit.

Using a measuring cup with a pour spout will make this much easier.

Substitutions

Lemon Juice: You could use lime, but lemon is really best because it highlights and compliments the flavors of strawberry and kiwi. Bottled or fresh is fine.

Chia Seeds: These are totally optional, but we like the added nutrition they provide.

Fruit: These are customizable! Use bananas instead of kiwis. Use raspberries instead of strawberries. The possibilities are endless!
