Ingredients

  • Red fruit such as raspberries, strawberries, or pomegranate
  • Orange fruit such as mango or mandarin orange segments
  • Yellow fruit such as pineapple
  • Green fruit such as kiwi or green grapes
  • Blue fruit such as blueberries
  • Purple fruit such as grapes or blackberries
  • White grape juice or coconut water
  • Popsicle molds

Instructions

  • Prepare your fruit by washing it, removing any skin it might have (for things like pineapple, oranges, and mango) and then cut it into small pieces.
  • Fill (or have your kids help fill) the popsicle mold in rainbow order. You can start at the bottom of the rainbow or at the top, it doesn't matter.
  • Carefully fill the rest of the mold with white grape juice or coconut water. Add the popsicle stick and freeze until solid (8 hours to overnight).
  • To remove the popsicle from the mold, run the outside of the mold under warm water and gently pull on the popsicle stick until the rainbow popsicle is released from the mold.

Notes

  • The fruit should be cut pretty small so the chunks are small enough to fit in the mold and won’t be a choking hazard to little ones. 
  • Be sure to lightly press the fruit into the mold so it’s full but not so full that you can’t add the liquid. 
  • If I have kids helping, I like to arrange the fruit on a plate in a rainbow order so they can easily see the color pattern.
  • A classic popsicle mold is a good shape for these popsicles so that the small pieces of fruit will fit. 
  • The nutrition information on this smoothie will depend a lot on the ingredients you use, so I suggest you calculate the nutritional information in an app (such as My Fitness Pal) for the most accurate information.
