274. This summer, take luscious, sweet fruits; cantaloupe, watermelon, peaches, strawberries, melons or berries, and make Ice Pops. Rather than eating high fat, high sugary ice cream, make a healthy, fruity summer treat. It is simple and easy to make.
Cantaloupe Ice Pops
1/2 large cantaloupe, seeded and peeled, cut in cubes, about 2 cups
1 6oz size personal sugar free yogurt, pineapple, lemon, lime or your choice (optional)
juice from 1/2 a lime
1/4 cup sugar or sweetener if needed
1/4 cup low sugar fruit juice, orange, pineapple, white cranberry or your choice
Place all in a blender and mix till fully blended. Taste for sweetness. If the mixture is too dry, add more juice till smooth. Pour into prepared ice pop forms. Or small paper cups and use popsicle sticks or small plastic spoons.
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for one hour. Once slightly hardened place mold covers in place. If using small cups use popsicle sticks or small plastic spoons and place into center of each ice pop.
Freeze for up to 6 hours. Then remove and run hot water on bottom of ice pops till they remove freely.
Use your imagination and choose any fruit. Experiment and you will surprise yourself how delicious!
Happy Summer!!!
