Calories: 22.31kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- ¼ Cup fresh basil loosely packed (~15 leaves)
- ¼ teaspoon monk fruit extract
- ½ teaspoon amchur powder or 2 teaspoons lemon juice, if tolerated
- 1 Cup water
Instructions
- Wash all your basil leaves thoroughly, then pluck them off the stems and set aside.
- Measure and add your basil leaves, blueberries, monk fruit, amchur, and water to the food processor, and then blend everything thoroughly (about 1 minute), scraping down the sides as needed.
- Spoon the mixture into your popsicle molds, adding the popsicles sticks beforehand, if needed.
- Freeze your ice pops for at least 4 hours, then pop out of the molds and enjoy!
Notes
FREEZING: these popsicles will stay good in the freezer for 3-6 months, depending on the temperature fluctuations in your home.
BASIL: you can start with half the amount of basil called-for if it seems like too much, but I promise that the flavor isn't very strong once it's been macerated and frozen.
SWEETENERS: some people hate the taste of monk fruit, and if you're one of those people, try using stevia instead (or 2 teaspoons of your liquid sweetener of choice).
