Ingredients
Scale
For Melon Spinach Otter Pops
- 1/2 c. coconut milk or homemade nondairy milk of choice
- 4 c. melon, cubed
- 1 c. fresh spinach
- 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup or agave
For Cantaloupe Cardamom Otter Pops
- 4 c. cantaloupe, cubed
- 1/2 c. coconut milk or homemade nondairy milk of choice
- 1 cardamom pod (or scant 1/4 tsp. cardamom spice)
- 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup or agave
Instructions
- For either flavor, place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and mix until completely smooth. The consistency should be easy to pour. If it is not, add more nondairy milk by the tablespoon until desired consistency.
- Taste test at this point and see if you need to add any additional sweetness. My melon was very ripe so I didn’t need a lot of maple syrup for flavor.
- Place into popsicle pouches (I found mine at Cost Plus World Market) or popsicle molds. Each pouch took up approximately 1/2 c. of the Otter Pop liquid so if you are using popsicle molds, please note that your serving amount will be different.
- Freeze for a couple of hours until they set.
- Each flavor separately serves 8.
