It’s summertime and the temperature is rising!! Time to make some homemade popsicles to cool off. We have a few recipes we will share with you but this fresh fruit rainbow popsicle recipe is one of our favorites! You can use fresh or frozen fruit, I just use what is the freshest and what is on sale basically. 😉 (originally published 6/16)

There is always fresh fruit at great prices during the summertime so pick up a few extras and make these fruit pops!

You just need a blender and popsicle holders along with your fruit and the kids can help!

Any shape or size will do and you can use your popsicle holders over and over again…great investment if you have kids.

It’s also a great way to introduce your kids to new fruits (and sometimes you can sneak in a veggie or two blending a piece of carrot with your mango) in a fun way. 🙂

You can use either frozen or fresh fruits, just use what you see that looks good in the produce section that are different colors and then suppement with frozen fruits for the others.

For these frozen blueberries and raspberries were used along with fresh kiwi and mango (but you can use other fruits you love). Here is the entire recipe for rainbow popsicles.

This is what you need for this rainbow popsicle recipe
