Ombre Frozen Fruit Pops

Ingredients

1 3⁄4 cup Strawberries (hulled -- for the red layer)

1⁄8 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (or more as needed -- for the red layer)

5 Clementines (or sub 2 large naval oranges -- for the orange layer)

3 Strawberries (hulled -- for the orange layer )

1 1⁄2 cup fresh pineapple chunks (-- for the yellow layer)

1⁄8 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (or more as needed -- for the yellow layer)

Notes

*You will also need some kind of popsicle mold. I purchased mine on Amazon, here: but any mold will work (you my just end up with a little extra here or there – no worries; simply serve any excess as a smoothie!). Another great mold I often use is the Zoku Triple Quick Pop Maker, available here.

Instructions

• Place ingredients for each layer, separately, into a high-powered blender (I use a Vitamix) and puree until completely smooth. *Be sure to wash out blender jar in between colors/layers.
• Alternate pouring your pureed colors into the molds. I did ours: red (first), orange (middle) and yellow (last). If you want very defined layers, you can freeze layers for a couple of minutes, before pouring the next one, but I prefer a more mixed/ombre look, so I just poured the layers slowly one on top of the other and some mixing did occur naturally.
• Next, insert popsicle sticks and freeze pops until completely solid (4 hour minimum. I usually leave mine in overnight).
• Once frozen, simply run molds quickly under hot water to help release from molds and enjoy immediately.
