- For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture to remove seeds or pulp if desired.
- Use agave nectar as a vegan-friendly sweetener or honey for a natural alternative with a floral taste.
- To speed up setting time, use smaller molds or make mini popsicles.
- Store leftover popsicles in an airtight container or plastic bag in the freezer to prevent freezer burn.
