Fresh Fruit Pops

With the afternoons reaching well above 100* around here, I thought it would be nice to search for a healthy, refreshing snack for the boys.

So… while I was searching the world wide web, I came upon this recipe from skinnytaste.com. It looked absolutely yummy! Once I showed the boys, they couldn’t wait to pick out the fruits they wanted to use.

These are a wonderful, healthy alternative to store bought popsicles. Yes,they may take longer to make… but we had fun and they really are delicious!

What we rounded up: strawberries, kiwi, orange juice, small {cute} plastic cups and popsicle sticks.

I cut up the kiwi and removed the stems from the strawberries. I cut them into little pieces as well.

I layered the fruit in the cups and stuck the popsicle stick right in the middle. It stays perfectly in the center with all the fruit holding it in place.

I then poured some orange juice over all the fruit. Then it dawned on me… I had bought some hiccup berries {blueberries}, so I added some for color. Plus, the boys love to eat them.

Then you just pop them into the freezer until frozen.

Here is our finished product…

They were a hit! The boys absolutely loved them. Now we have a healthy treat for those hot summer days.
