The triple digits are starting to slowly show it's ugly face around these parts. It's been hot hot hot!!!!! The perfect time to break out those popsicle molds and start whipping up batches of yummy, homemade popsicles!!!
I love making my own pops. You can customize the ingredients, sneak in all kinda vegetable juices for the kiddos and not to mention, they're so freakin' easy, fun and cheap.
I just love how they still resemble kiwi! |
Fresh fruit is EVERYWHERE this time of year so go to the Farmers Market and have at it. I got a ton of kiwi today and since it's scorching outside Kiwi popsicles are a must.
Kiwi is such a pretty fruit and loaded with good stuff! |
Kiwi brings on the benefits!!Kiwi is a superfood and provides the body with lots of fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients which has been shown to actually repair DNA ( I know quite a few people who could use some DNA repairing). Kiwi aides in regulating heartbeat and also great for skin, hair, nails, and teeth. (Thanks for the info webmd, you rock!)
I make kiwi popsicles a lot in the summer months. Something about the sweet & tart combination just totally refreshes me! And that gorgeous green color... mother nature you have truly outdone yourself!
INGREDIENTS (makes 4-6 popsicles depending on the size of mold)
4 ripe kiwi
1 1/2 cups pineapple juice, naturally sweetened
1/2 teaspoon sugar *optional* (you could also use honey, agave or more pineapple juice to make it sweeter naturally)
Watch me make these Refreshing Kiwi Popsicles from start to finish!
ENJOY!!!
