4 cups fresh or frozen thawed fruit (pick one or a combo: watermelon, strawberries, mango, pineapple, or kiwi)
2 tablespoons apple juice (or full-fat coconut milk, solids only, or plain whole-milk yogurt)
2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup; optional)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (optional)

Add the ingredients to a blender. Blend until very smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
Pour into ice pop sleeves or popsicle molds. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve cold.
(To make without a blender, add ingredients to a wide bowl and mash coarsely with a potato masher.)

Once fully frozen, keep in the freezer for up to 6 months. If you freeze in popsicle molds without a plastic cover, you can transfer to a freezer bag once fully frozen to keep them fresher.
Use fresh or thawed frozen fruit. Try a single fruit flavor or a mixture of favorites.
Taste the blended fruit and adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup as needed.
Use apple juice, coconut milk (the full-fat kind in a can, solid part only), or Greek yogurt to vary the flavor. The coconut milk or yogurt will make these a little creamy.
Use ice pop sleeves or popsicle molds.
Fruit that works well for this recipe includes mango, pineapple, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, watermelon (seedless), peaches, cantaloupe, or honeydew.
Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly or run under hot water before serving if desired.
