Tips for Making Rainbow Popsicles
Layering the smoothies in the mold is easy. Use a spoon or tablespoon to scoop the smoothie mixture into the mold.
It’s natural for the layers to blend a bit, but I have noticed that spooning the smoothies into the mold versus pouring the smoothie in from a glass leaves better results.
Once the molds are filled, freeze the popsicles overnight.
How to remove popsicles from mold
To get the rainbow popsicles to release from the mold, fill your kitchen sink with room temperature water. Place the mold in the water, making sure the water does not go above the top of the mold.
Allow the mold to sit in the water for a few seconds.
Begin to wiggle a popsicle free. If it feels tough, allow them to set in the water a few more seconds.
Once all of the popsicles are removed from the mold, enjoy or wrap the extras in plastic wrap and return to the freezer.
Here’s the best part, most likely you’ll have leftover smoothie (unless you’re making 30+ popsicles at one time) so you can enjoy a rainbow smoothie while you wait for your rainbow popsicles to freeze!
If you’re doing a rainbow themed party or preschool lesson, put this rainbow bread on the list of things to make!
If you’re looking for an easier version of rainbow popsicles, try fresh fruit popsicles!
