Make these and your kids will love you more! I guarantee you!

Summer holidays started a little sooner that I expected, thanks to the teacher strike. And what happens now is every few days my house will become a day camp where my kids and their friends hang around at the backyard, splashing in the pool, scooching down the water slide, climbing tree, and having sweet treats, like these popsicles.

Fresh, fruity, natural, fun, eye-catchy, versatile…these frozen treats are perfect for the whole world. Instead of mixing the fruit puree together, I decided to go for a fun striped effect by layering mango puree and strawberry puree and freezing them in stages. You can use any kind of berries, or you can try peach, nectar, cherry, even citrus would be a great idea.
