While it might be more common to go to the grocery store and buy frozen fruit bars or popsicles in order to get your cold fruit fix, did you know that it’s actually super easy to freeze fruit by itself to make a cold summer treat?

All you need to do is to take a small wooden stick, insert it into the fruit, and put it in a plastic bag and into the freezer. Voila, you have frozen fruit “popsicles” that are cheap and easy to enjoy!

Here are some fruits that we recommend for freezing and enjoying this summer.

Watermelon

One of the best fruits for freezing is watermelon. The high water content of this traditional summer melon (over 90%!) makes it super easy to freeze into a refreshing and cooling fruit pop. Yum!

Pineapple

Are you looking for a sweet and tropical frozen fruit pop this summer? Buy a fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks, and enjoy the delicious flavor of frozen pineapple!

Strawberries

Strawberries are a little different than the first two fruits mentioned here, as you don’t have to cut them up in order to enjoy them as a frozen fruit treat. Just stick a toothpick or a small stick into a whole strawberry, place into the freezer, and then enjoy!

New move. New discoveries. I just bought package free berries for the first time ever. Berries were previously a non-essential that I had chosen to live without: If it’s not package free, it ain’t for me. . . I’m excited to be free from the shackles of a life without berries. I added it to my porridge and it was all kinds of delicious. Sweet tarty freedom. . . I found these at @alfalfahousesyd who have giant tubs of strawberries and blueberries in their freezer. It’s a great idea to sell them frozen as this keeps the berries in tact when scooping them into containers. Plus it reduces food waste by extending their lifespan. . . How about you? What packaged items have you chosen to go without or cut down on?
