🌿 Why You’ll Love These

  • Made with fresh fruit

  • Kid-friendly

  • Super refreshing in hot weather

  • Easy to customize

🛒 Ingredients

  • 6 fresh oranges (juiced)

    • depends on the size of the oranges; I got about 1 3/4 cups of juice

  • 4 kiwis (peeled)

  • 1 teaspoon local honey

🥣 How to Make Kiwi Orange Popsicles

  1. Juice the oranges
    Fresh-squeezed makes a big difference in flavor here.
    I used my KitchenAid with a masticating juicer attachment, which made the process super easy and gave me a really smooth juice without much effort.

  2. Prep the kiwi

    • Juice 3 of the kiwis (keep the pulp)

    • Slice the 4th kiwi into thin rounds

  3. Mix everything together
    Combine:

    • Orange juice

    • Kiwi juice

    • Kiwi pulp

    • Honey

    Stir well, so the honey fully dissolves.

  4. Fill your molds
    Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top.

  5. Add kiwi slices
    Place a kiwi slice along the inside wall of each mold for a fun look.

  6. Freeze
    Freeze until solid (usually overnight).

💡 Tips for Best Results

For a softer texture (less icy):
Add a splash of coconut water or apple juice.

For toddlers:
You can strain out some of the kiwi seeds if needed for a smoother texture.

For better presentation:
Press the kiwi slice flat against the mold so it shows clearly when frozen.

🛠 Tools I Used

👉 If you already have a KitchenAid, the juicer attachment is honestly a game-changer for things like fresh juice, popsicles, and even using up extra fruit from the garden.

👶 Mom Tip

These are perfect for little ones, especially during teething or hot days. Since they’re made with real fruit, you know exactly what’s going into them.

☀️ Perfect for Florida Summers

Between the heat, gardening, and running around outside, having something cold and hydrating in the freezer is a game-changer.

These popsicles are a simple way to use up fresh fruit and turn it into something everyone will actually enjoy.

📌 Final Thoughts

Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest ones.

This is one of those things you can throw together quickly, feel good about serving, and keep stocked in the freezer all summer long.

We Have Eggs! After months of raising our backyard chickens, we finally had our first exciting surprise in the nesting box, eggs! We got our chickens back in October, and I had been wondering when they would finally start laying. I knew it should happen around this time of year, but there’s something really exciting about opening the nesting box and seeing those first eggs sitting there. One afternoon, I checked the coop and found not just one egg, but several sitting together in the same nesting box. It was one of those small backyard moments that makes raising chickens completely worth it. Why We Chose Production Red Chickens Before we brought our chickens home, I originally planned to get Golden Comets . They’re known for laying a lot of eggs and having a calm temperament, which made them appealing for a backyard flock. However, when we went to our local Rural King, they didn’t have Golden Comets available. One of the employees suggested we look at Production...
