Refreshing Orange Pineapple Popsicle Recipe

Do your kids like popsicles during the summer? Who am I kidding – what kid doesn’t like fruity icy popsicles? I always buy my kids the popsicles that are made with juice but that’s still a lot of sugar, so that’s why I love this orange pineapple popsicle recipe.

Health Benefits of pineapple and oranges

Pineapples are a good source of antioxidants, which may reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers.

Pineapple contains compounds that reduces inflammation which is linked to cancer. One of these compounds is the enzyme bromelain, which may stimulate cell death in certain cancer cells and aid white blood cell function.

Oranges may benefit your heart and can help prevent kidney stones. While not rich in iron, they may also protect against anemia by increasing your iron absorption.

I love that these fruits are readily available fresh all year long! I like to use a blender to make these pops nice and smooth – I’m not one for chunks of fruit in my treats. But you can make them as chunky as you’d like.

Personally, I like using my ninja blender to make the fruit smooth. If there are any chunks leftover, you can either skim them out of the mixture or add them to the popsicle mold. My kids LOVE the fruit chunks!

Popsicle mold hack

Did your junk drawer eat the popsicle sticks that came with the mold? No problem! After you fill the molds, just get a sheet of waxed paper and fold it over 3 times and place over the top of the molds. Tape around the edges to keep it down. Use a knife with a small pointed tip and pierce through the middle of the wax over each popsicle mold. Insert wooden sticks and you are ready to go!
