Rainbow Fruit Popsicles

Inculcating good food habits is important for a child. Amongst, many other healthy foods necessary in their daily diet, introducing all kinds of fruits is important. No, I am not changing my blog from Bengali food to Kids food and health. Having a kid at home, I have always kept in count of what we eat. Yes, you hear me right. Kids completely imitate their parents. If you have a bad eating habit, your child is also likely to have one. These popsicles are such that can be enjoyed equally by the entire family.

P.S- No food colors were added and I hate hate hate using them. I have never bought them in my life.

They are absolutely easy to prepare. If you want to get these popsicles with distinct layers, you should give each layer some freezing time. Since I wanted the colors of the popsicles to mix a bit, I have put them one after another. Moreover, my son who was accompanying me in making these popsicles was excited enough and did not want to wait. Luckily, my son loves all kinds of fruits. Therefore, this was a fun project for summer for the two of us together. But, if your kid is a fussy eater, you can make these popsicles and I am sure, they will love them. Also, engage them in making these popsicles and they will love having their own made popsicles.

Look at the picture above. It was hard for me to stop my son from having the popsicle for a photograph. I had to literally pull away the popsicle from him for the pic. But, I did not succeed. :D. And, myself, I am enjoying the colors of life with my little one.

Notes

  1. For more distinct layers, spoon each and leave it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Then add the next layer to the mold.
  2. If the layers are added immediately one after another they might mix with each other. 
  3. Cover your popsicle molds and add a popsicle stick. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight to set
  4. Make sure to rinse the blender or food processor after blending each layer.
  5. In case, any of your fruit is tart, you can add about half a tablespoonful of honey. eg. My pineapple was a bit tart and I added some honey to it.
  6. If you want to go dairy-free, you can completely skip the yogurt. The popsicles will still be amazing.
