Peachy Blue Tofu Pops, Family Favorites

During the Spring and Summer I think there's no better snack for the kids than homemade popsicles. They're refreshing, healthy, delicious and can be made in an endless variety of yummy combinations. The kids are happy, because they're getting the sweet treat they want and we're happy they're eating a snack loaded with nutrients. It's a win-win!

Peach is a good source of vitamin A, fiber, potassium, copper and niacin while the blueberries provide an excellent source of vitamin K, manganese, vitamin C and disease-fighting antioxidants. In fact, blueberries have some of the highest levels of antioxidants of any other food. The tofu adds a nice kick of protein to the pops.

This recipe is suitable for toddlers, big kids and adults.

What you'll need:

Makes 6-8 popsicles

Wooden popsicle sticks

BPA free popsicle molds or Sage Spoonfuls jars

1/2 banana

1 cup of organic blueberries - Washed. Whenever possible, buy organic blueberries as conventioanlly grown have some of the highest pesticide residues.

3 organic peaches - Washed, peeled, pitted and chopped. Also buy organic whenever possible as conventioanlly grown peaches are high in pesticide residue.

1/2 block of organic soft tofu - Tofu is made from soybeans which is one of the largest genetically modified crops, buy organic whenever possible.

3 tablespoons of honey

*Place a small slice of banana into the bottom of each popsicle mold and place the wooden stick into the middle of the banana slice. This will allow it to stay in place.

*Place the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into the popsicle molds leaving some room at the top for the mixture to expand.

*Place the popsicle mold into the freezer for 4-6 hours or overnight.

*When ready, run the mold under hot water for about 10 seconds to loosen the popsicle.

*Enjoy!
