Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 3 cups cubed) fresh pineapple
- 1 cup coconut water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Begin by peeling and coring the fresh pineapple. Cut it into small cubes until you have about 3 cups worth.
In a blender, combine the pineapple cubes, coconut water, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Taste the mixture, and if you prefer a bit more sweetness, add honey to your taste, and blend again until the honey is fully incorporated.
Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered.
Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until completely frozen.
To remove the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them.
Enjoy your heart-healthy pineapple popsicles straight from the freezer or store them in a freezer-safe container for up to a month.
