Fresh Fruit Popsicles

I don't know about you, but once it hits a certain point in summer, I'm ready for cooler temps and fall. However, as a teacher, I also am torn because I don't want to wish summer vacation away. It's been HOT here. We've been doing everything we can to cool off including lots of trips to a little local lake and the community pool. Gabe has become a water bug and it's a lot of fun! Another thing we love to do as a family is share popsicles. However, I know how much sugar can be in the freezie pops that Gabe loves, so I came up with an alternative.

These homemade popsicles have chunks of mango, slices of kiwi and strawberry, and blueberries in them. They hit the spot on a hot day and they're toddler and husband approved.

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp raw honey
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 mango, sliced
• 1 medium kiwi, peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup strawberries, sliced 
• 1/4 cup blueberries
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Instructions

• Heat up honey and water in a small pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Heat, stirring frequently for 5 minutes, until the honey and water are well blended. Cool to room temperature.
• While water cools, even distribute fruit into four popsicle molds, set aside
• Pour the lime juice into the water/honey mixture, stir until combined 
• Pour lime juice mixture into the molds, covering the fruit. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until set. 

I hope these help cool your family off on a hot day! Enjoy!
