Skinnytaste Ice Pop

NUTRITION

Popsicle's are a great way to cool off during the hot summer months, but you must be careful. Popsicle's are often loaded with sugar and many contain artificial additives/coloring, which can be a health issue. However, Gina Homolka of the popular site Skinnytaste has developed a calorie friendly recipe for Cherry Lime Ice Pops that have little sugar content and no additives. Sounds perfect, right?   

Ingredients:

1 lb cherries

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup sugar

3 tbsp fresh lime juice

Directions:

Stem the cherries and remove the pits.  In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cherries with the water, sugar, and lime juice, and cook until the cherries are very soft and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.  Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Puree the cherries and their liquid and put the mixture through a fine sieve.

Pour into ice pop molds and freeze.
