Good, if more unusual than expected. The lime really enhances these bars more than straight avocado would. I have a feeling I could quickly acquire a taste for these. They aren't very sweet, and the texture is a bit disconcerting at first. I'd like to try making a batch with some jalapeno next time. I didn't have enough popsicle molds, so I added some ice, then watered down and sweetened the leftover liquid, a little tequila, and made some really delicious avocado smoothies.

Sounds weird, tastes delicious! The finished ice pops only taste a little like avocado. Mostly they're creamy and rich and refreshing. The healthy fats and vitamins of the avocado are just a bonus. I used a blender instead of a food processor; worked fine.
