Fruity Smooth and Creamy Tofu Popsicles
These simple Popsicles are the perfect refreshing solution! For variety, change the flavor of the pops by adding different fruits. You can purchase a Popsicle mold at a grocery store, Target or online. If you don’t want to invest in a Popsicle mold, small plastic or paper cups or empty yogurt containers work wonderfully for making Popsicles. Add a wooden craft stick for the Popsicle stick.
1 10.5-ounce package silken tofu
1 medium banana
2 cups unsweetened orange-pineapple or apple juice
1 cup of diced fruit: strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, kiwi, watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches, pears, plums, mango or papaya
Combine all ingredients in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Pour the mixture into a Popsicle mold and freeze. Makes about 12 Popsicles.
TIP: If you find the mixture to be a tad on the tart side, don’t reach for the sugar. Add a little sweetness with a tablespoon or two of maple syrup, honey or fruit spreads.
