Healthy ice cubes 🤷‍♀️

Sounds weird, I know. Trying to prolong summer via my tastebuds with these tiny, flavorful pleasures! These are extremely versatile and fun to make (especially if you have some fun tray shapes). You could use any fruit, juice, herbs, or tea for the cubes and juice, sparkling water, or coffee for the beverage! (Not healthy, but I am definitely trying hot cocoa cubes this winter with a mini marshmallow in coffee)

Anyway….back to a healthy snack…I ended up blending kiwi and pineapple, layering on top of a blueberry or two, and once frozen – popping a few into my apple juice – once it started melting, it instantly tasted tropical. Im in Love.

Antioxidants, immune boosting, and aids in digestion are only a few of the many benefits of this mix. What would you create?
