Expert Tips
- For an extra creamy texture, blend the ingredients for a few extra seconds pausing to scrape down the sides half way through if necessary.
- Don't skip the lemon juice; it helps enhance the flavor of the blueberries and adds brightness to the popsicles.
- I used a silicone popsicle mold with 10 cavities, each holding 3.2 ounces of liquid. If your molds are a different size, you may have some leftover mixture, which you can enjoy as a smoothie!
- It's best to freeze the popsicles for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid. However, overnight freezing is recommended for the best results.
