Cantaloupe Popsicles

So if you know me, you know I have a homemade Popsicle obsession.  I love them and I think they are the greatest things ever to make with your kids.  I loved loved loved making homemade Popsicle when I was a kid... of course, mine weren't as healthy as the ones I make now.  I'd basically pour a can of root beer in a Popsicle mold or a glass of high sugar fruit juice.  Now, I love making them with fresh fruit because they taste better and have a way better texture.  


I ordered a new Popsicle mold on Amazon last week and it arrived in the mail this week.  I swear I almost jumped into the delivery guy's arms I was so excited.  If only they knew what was inside that smiley faced box.  I've only made one batch of Popsicle with these molds, but wow are they awesome! And HUGE! Nick and I couldn't finish our whole Popsicle  we had to save the rest for later.  Awesome!!  

Nick thought these Popsicle needed more sugar, but I think they were awesome.  Of course you can taste the puree and add sugar/honey to your liking. I was actually worried that this wouldn't work without adding some sort of liquid, but wow, cantaloupe has a ton of water in it.  They blended so easily and turned out delicious!  Super healthy snack when you need something cool on these hot hot days.
