Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Substitute papaya with mango, guava, kiwi, or cantaloupe.

Substitute plant-based yogurt with blended cashew cream or silken tofu.

How to Pour the Blends into the Popsicle Molds
You can pour the papaya first so that it covers the entire bottom of the mold before pouring the pineapple mixture over top. Or you can make the papaya blend first and place it in a bowl before making the pineapple blend. Then pour the papaya into the bottom portion of the popsicle mold followed by pouring the pineapple blend on the top portion of the mold. Repeat for the remaining three molds.

Make it Therapeutic
Add a dash of ground black pepper to the papaya blend to help the curcumin, or active compound in turmeric to be more absorbable.

Storage
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to six weeks.
