Frozen Fruit cups

My kids love Popsicles pretty much all year round!  I think its a much better alternative to ice cream and they love it more than that.  When I was at Trader Joe’s last weekend, I stocked up on their frozen mangos, frozen blueberries, frozen pineapple chunks.  Using this simple recipe, you can make home made Popsicles all year long (and I can eat them too!)

• 2 cups mixed fruit (I used the fruits mentioned above) pineapple, blueberries, mangos.
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tsp. lemon juice (I used fresh)

1. Put all fruit in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water, if necessary. 
3. Add sugar and lemon juice.  Cover and blend until well mixed.
4. Pour into 4 oz. ice-pop molds or paper cups.  Insert sticks.  Freeze until solid.

Each cup is only 36 calories!
I don’t have a Popsicle molds, or sticks.  I just put them in styrofoam cups and my kids dig it out with a spoon.  It’s so good!  Trader Joe’s frozen fruits are so inexpensive.  Almost all of them are $2-$3 dollars a bag vs. $6 and up at a regular store.
