Feel-Good Pops

Protect yourself from cold and flu bugs (or help fight symptoms if you already have a pesky cold) with these refreshing and hydrating ice pops, made from grapefruit, guava and carrots.
Yield: 8 pops
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 1 grapefruit, pink when available for added sweetness, peel and pith removed*
  • 1 orange, peel and pith removed*
  • 1 cup guava juice
  • 1 cup carrot juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Ingredient Details to Know
*When prepping the grapefruit and orange, discard any obvious pits, but there’s no need to remove all of them.

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or high-powered blender until completely pureed. Pour the mixture into a set of standard ice pop molds, using about ⅓ cup mixture per pop. Freeze until the pops are firm and solid, at least three hours.
  • An alternative method if you don’t have ice pop molds: Pour the mixture into small paper cups and wrap each top tightly with a piece of aluminum foil.
  • Carefully poke a wooden stick through the foil and into the cup to serve as a handle, making sure each one is centered and straight. Place in the freezer.
