Honeydew Kiwi Coconut Popsicles

The popsicle break was short-lived.

Honeydew Kiwi Coconut Popsicles

It’s just so dang hot, y’all!  I can’t help mysel!.  I actually made these during the Popsicle Week, but they didn’t make it to publication.  Life, work, and all that jazz.  Yada, yada, yada.

I had an abundance of kiwi in my fridge begging not to turn to slime and a honeydew melon that needed a purpose, so to borrow a phrase from Guy Fieri, they all went into the coconut water pool and became a green popsicle.

Speaking of pools, I’m on stay-cay from my real job this week, so we’re going to keep this short.  I can’t leave you with images of steps like Jennifer demands, so I’ll just leave you with a bunch of photos of some green honeydew kiwi coconut popsicles.

I have the need to share my addiction.

There are worse things I could do.  I borrowed that quote from Rizzo.

Have an awesome weekend, y’all!

  2. Pour into popsicle molds 2/3 - 3/4 way full
  3. Add kiwi and remaining coconut water to a food processor or high speed blender and puree to combine - careful not to over blend because the kiwi seeds will darken the mixture

It’s Popsicle Week 2016, yo!

Strawberry Kiwi Coconut Popsicles

These Strawberry Kiwi Coconut Pops are my second contribution to this party!  I’m having so much fun with Popsicle Week, I’m kind of out of control over here.  I had to buy a second popsicle mold. Thank you Amazon Prime for always having my back and making packages magically land on my porch in two days.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Amazon is not sponsoring this post.  They just hold the key to my heart.

I digress.  As usual.  Anyhoo – Popsicle Week is the brain child of Billy from Wit & Vinegar.  This is my first year at the party, but it’s the fourth year of celebrating summer with a week totally full of amazing popsicle recipes.
