Kiwi and Melon Popsicles
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Kiwi is a fruit that contains many vitamins and minerals and can potentially help treat asthma, aid in digestion, boost the immune system, and countless other things.
You can keep the kiwi and melon separate, or you can combine them into one popsicle for a fun variation. You can even alternate them so they are in a striped pattern!
