Blueberry Almond Pops

Let me tell you something...Georgia is HOT in the summer.  Today's heat index is 105 degrees.  In this crazy heat, you have to find different ways to keep cool.  So this summer, in my abundant free time (read with overwhelming sarcasm), I've been experimenting with different popsicle flavors.  The Nutella Bailey's ones were delicious; they just never completely set (therefore, lacking the structural composition to be called a pop).

But these babies...these blueberry almond pops...they are my favorite.  By a long shot.



Ingredients
2 cups blueberries (frozen or fresh)
2.5 cups almond milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. almond extract
2 tbsp. lemon juice
A pinch of salt

1. Puree all the ingredients in a blender until completely smooth.

2. Pour into popsicle molds, and place in freezer.  Leave them in the freezer for at least 5 hours (overnight is preferable).


Pro tip: Don't forget to run the mold under warm water before you remove the pop from the mold.  This will help you remove the popsicle with ease.
