Ingredients
  

2 cups mixed frozen fruit (choose a combination of strawberries, mango, and pineapple)

2 cups tropical fruit juice (opt for orange or pineapple juice for that sunny flavor)

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1/2 cup coconut water (for a refreshing hydration boost)

1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (for a tangy zing)

Zest of 1 lime (to elevate the flavor profile)

A pinch of sea salt (to enhance overall taste)

Popsicle molds (to shape your delightful bars)

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a powerful blender, combine the mixed frozen fruit, tropical fruit juice, optional honey or agave syrup, coconut water, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high speed until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.

    Taste and Adjust: Once blended, taste the fruit mixture to see if it needs more sweetness. If desired, add additional honey or agave syrup, then blend again for a few seconds to incorporate.

      Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the vibrant fruit punch mixture into your popsicle molds, ensuring you leave a small gap at the top of each mold to allow for expansion during the freezing process.

        Insert Sticks: If using popsicle sticks, insert them into the molds according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring they are centered and upright.

          Freeze: Transfer the filled molds to the freezer and allow them to freeze for a minimum of 4 to 6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Unmold and Serve: To retrieve your frozen fruit bars, run warm water over the outside of each mold for a few seconds to loosen them. Gently pull the bars out, taking care not to break them, and enjoy your refreshing treat!

              Storage: Any leftover bars can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month, perfect for a quick, fruity treat anytime!
