It’s August and it is pretty hot right now in Texas.
August is a good time for fresh, tree-ripened peaches!
With all the fresh fruit available right now, this is the perfect time to make refreshing, home-made popsicles that are vegan, vegetarian, raw, gluten-free and very hydrating!
The great thing about freezing fresh fruit is that it retains the vitamin C in it when frozen.
Ingredients:
1 lb. organic peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
1 c. pure mineral-rich water
Juice of one orange
Directions:
- Blend all ingredients in food processor until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into a popsicle mold and place in freezer until firm.
Variation: Add a banana to the mixture in the food processor and make a sorbet that can be eaten like ice cream without a popsicle mold!
Note: You can use the peach peel for the extra nutrients, but it looks “prettier” without the peel.
Yu can use mango or pineapple instead of peaches.
