DIY Fruit Popsicles

7/3/2021

With some basic ingredients and just a few steps, you can make your own delicious and healthy fruit popsicles to stay cool this Summer.

1. Blend Ingredients
You may want to gradually add ingredients to your blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

2. Pour Blended Mixture Into Molds

3. Freeze
Leave in the freezer for at least 8 hours.

4. Remove From Molds
To help release the popsicles from their molds, run each one under warm water for 30-60 seconds.

5. Enjoy or Store
Once they’re out of the mold, your popsicles are ready to be enjoyed. If you want to save them for later, you can store them in a freezer-friendly storage bag or glass container in your freezer for several months.

Here are some recipe ideas:

• Chocolate Chip
3 ¾ cups pureed banana
½ cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
