Nectarine Ice Pops Recipe

It’s August, it’s hot, and it’s (REALLY) humid. Clearly this calls for ice pops – nectarine ice pops, to be exact!

This is this month’s sponsored Almond Breeze partnership creation, and it features my favorite of their products: coconut almondmilk. It’s like vacation in a glass – or, in this case, on a stick.

This is basically the easiest recipe ever – besides the almondmilk, the only other ingredients are chopped fresh nectarines (SO good right now) and a little pure maple syrup for extra sweetness. Peaches or apricots would also be delicious in this recipe, or even a mix of all three – feel free to get creative! You can toss in some berries for color, too – blueberries or chopped strawberries would be a pretty and tasty addition.

To make these ice pops, you’ll blend some of the nectarines with the almondmilk and maple syrup. Then, place some additional finely chopped nectarines into an ice pop mold to add some nice texture, pour the blended mixture on top, and freeze! Adding some un-blended fruit into the mix is key, because we all know ice pops with large chunks of fruit are cooler than ice pops without large chunks of fruit. Am I right?!

About 2 hours later and you are ready to rock.

These make an excellent cool-down snack following sweaty outdoor adventures. Cheers to summer, and enjoy!
