Minty Fresh Cantaloupe Popsicles! Paletas! #FreshFinds

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. I created this recipe with Cantaloupe, that I purchased at Lucky Supermarket. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.

I don’t know about you, but on a hot summer day; I like to cool down with something ice cold and sweet. Last year, I made a lot of ice cream & this summer, I’ve been making all kinds of popsicles. My little one LOVES popsicles, so I like to experiment with different ingredients. I don’t think my son even realizes he’s eating fruits (and sometimes veggies!) when he eats my popsicles, he just knows they’re cold, sweet & tasty! That’s all right with me. 

This morning, I made Cantaloupe Popsicles! I went to my neighborhood Lucky Supermarket last night, to buy all the items I’d need.  I like buying produce at Lucky Supermarket because I know it’s going to be fresh. There are lots of fresh finds at Lucky’s! First, let’s go check out the Cantaloupes.  I always buy the cantaloupe that looks ripe (orange tint to the skin), and smells sweet. Go ahead and pick up the cantaloupe you are thinking about buying and smell it. Does it smell sweet? If not, choose another one. Once I picked out just the right cantaloupe, I headed to the dairy section.  I got some heavy whipping cream, a can of coconut milk and a couple other things.  Popsicles are easy to make and it’s a lot of fun to try different fruit combos. Experiment with different fruits and see which ones work best for your popsicles. Lucky’s carries so many different fruits and veggies, you can see more of my shopping trip on my Google+ photo album.

 I used a sprig of mint out of my garden, but you can find yours at Lucky’s! Now, let’s get to the recipe! 

Have you ever made popsicles? What’s your favorite flavor?
