6/26 Melon All Fruit Pops

In the Summer I love making popsicles. I enjoy the indulgence of frozen treats and the sensibility of making it myself with delicious and readily available ingredients.

Right now all of the fruit available tastes like it is the best it has ever been. The berries have been addicting and  the melon,  luscious and sweet. It makes me feel abundant and limitless in my options for delicious things.

Melon tops my list of most favorite foods so I used watermelon for the base of these pops in the first round.  Then, I replicated them using cantaloupe, which created an equally inspiring popsicle.

Use what you have and it will be sensational. Frozen Fruit Bars 0010104

Part of the fun of these pops is experimenting  with different fruit combos. For this recipe I used 3 1/2 oz paddle shaped popsicle molds.

In my experience they have been  the easiest shape to find. I also think they  look phenomenal  with a kiwi slice nestled in the tip. The molds will probably set you back  $3.00. Worth it when you consider all of the possibilities for experimental joy.

Enjoy your all fruit sensational snack. I have noshed on  these for breakfast and after a long, hot run. In both situations I was looking for a quick and healthy way to feed my body. What a cool way to do that with food that loves you back.
