Making fruit bars at home

The quickest way to cool off in the hot city when you don’t have access to swimming is to eat a fruit bar or a popsicle. But people who prefer natural products with less sugar will find that natural fruit bars can be very expensive. I’ve seen some that are twice as expensive as the regular ice pops in the supermarket. So here’s a suggestion – make your own. And get the children to help.
This time of year, you’ll find every type of fruit imaginable at its peak. The other day I bit into a nectarine that was simply heavenly. Next, a mango that was so sweet it made me want to eat 10 more.
Making ice pops is simple:
1. Get some popsicle molds.
2. Cut up some fruit.
3. Put fruit into the molds and pour in some juice.
4. Freeze.
And stay cool.

Nurturing our children with healthy food is one of the most important jobs we have, yet as families have become busier or drifted apart, meal times have been sacrificed.
