Mango Apricot Chia and Strawberry Popsicles

Let's make more popsicles before the summer is gone. This time around I made lime-strawberry and apricot-mango with chia seeds popsicles. I reserved around ½ of a cup from each fruit puree to use it as a marmalade/fruit spread. This goes great with waffles, pancakes, nut butter sandwiches or just add a few tablespoons to a cup with sparkling water for an afternoon refreshment. I poured half of the batter of each one of the flavors into the molds and the other half I mixed it with yogurt and poured it into another mold. I made the fruit purees the day before. I tried adding some sprinkles, but this didn’t work. Once I took the popsicles out of the mold the sprinklers started melting, and the colors mixed.
