Refreshing Summer Treat

It is summer time, the kids are getting out of school, and the temperature is rising.  


I was looking at the current magazine from BJs wholesale club and ran across this refreshing and healthy summer snack.  I just had to share it here :-)


Fresh Fruit Frosties   Serves 4   Prep time: 10 mins.


The basic recipe uses strawberries and cantaloupe.  Other delicious combinations are blueberries and watermelon, strawberries and kiwi, cantaloupe and honeydew, blackberry and papaya.


You will need:


2 cups of fresh fruit
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp fresh lemon juice


Place 1 1/2 cups fruit, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender and blend until smooth.  Add the remaining fruit, change the setting to chop and pulse.  Mixture will be mostly smooth with a few small lumps of fruit.  Pour into 4 oz paper cups or any 4 oz popsicle form.  Insert sticks.  Freeze until solid, at least 1 hour.  Then, ENJOY!!!


These would also be great to serve at a summer birthday party or 4th of July Party.


Blessings!
