Homemade Fruit Popsicles


The weather has been really hot here this past week, so I was on the hunt for a refreshing and healthy snack! I was pretty disappointed when I read the ingredients for store bought popsicles. Since most brands had added sugars and artificial ingredients, I decided to make my own! These are super easy to make and you can add whatever combination of fruit you prefer. I added a bit of Shaklee Performance, a natural pure hydration drink which hydrates better than water! They were a huge hit with my family and are super refreshing! 

Ingredients:

- Half of a watermelon, pureed
- Performance Pure Hydration Drink, Lemon Lime
- Assorted sliced fruit (strawberries, blueberries, peaches, kiwi)
- Juice of 1 lime


Puree half of a watermelon, a handful of strawberries and the juice of 1 lime. Add 6 teaspoons of Performance (1 tsp per popsicle) and mix well. 


Pour mixture into popsicle molds until half full and add sliced fruit. 



Freeze for at least 6 hours and enjoy this healthy refreshing treat!
