As the heat wave continues to rise temperatures. there’s no better way to cool down than with a homemade ice pop. Especially when the ice pop is bursting with the tropical sweetness of mango and the zesty tang of kiwi! But these aren’t just any frozen treats; they’re a powerhouse of nutrients. Packed with vitamin C (even more than oranges!), fiber, and antioxidants, kiwis help hydrate, support digestion, and give your immune system a welcome boost during the sweltering summer months.
Kiwi: from China to the world
Did you know? Kiwis are native to China and were originally called “yang tao” (sunny peach) before being renamed after New Zealand’s national bird for marketing purposes. Their vibrant green flesh and tiny black seeds are as fun to look at as they are to eat—and their unique blend of sweet and tart flavors makes them a perfect partner for the creamy richness of mango.
