What Are Paletas?

Paletas are a Mexican frozen treat made from fresh natural fruits and other whole ingredients. The name roughly translates to “little sticks”. And while they may look like popsicles, that is where the similarities end.

Unlike popsicles which contain sugar syrups, food dyes, and other artificial ingredients, Paletas are made with fresh ingredients such as fruits, herbs, nuts, and spices. They can have a ‘juice’ base or a more creamy base from milk or yogurt — as in this strawberry yogurt paletas recipe.

Because there are so many delicious ingredients you can use, the flavor options are pretty much limitless.

Are Paletas Healthy?

Paletas can be a much better option than sugar-filled popsicles. That’s because these frozen pops use simple, whole ingredients and fresh fruits. In fact, natural fresh ingredients are the stars of this particular frozen snack.

Because fruit has natural sugar, there’s less need to add anything artificial. Less sugar also means paletas fall low on the glycemic index. So if you’re concerned about your diet or sugar intake, then paletas are a much better option for you.
