Mango and Strawberry Ice Pops
My kids love fresh fruit. They especially love summer fruits like mango, peaches, watermelon etc. They are quite happy with a bowl of fruit in front of them for dessert.
But my kids also love frozen treats, ice cream, ice blocks etc. So when I combine their two favourite things, they get very excited. When I make these ice pops, they don't last long. Everyday after school this is the first thing they ask for.
And these are actually good for you, I know everything that I put into it. So if you are looking to make something healthy that you and your kids will love, give these a try, they really are good.
