This popsicle is way more delicious than I thought I was going to be - I looked at the ingredient list (melon, mint, agave, lime. . . cilantro? Hm.) and I had my doubts, but the finished product totally put them to rest. This pop is totally refreshing, unexpected, and delicious! It is SO good on a hot summer's day, barely register's as a blip on the calorie meter, and is loaded with vitamin C. It's definitely one of James' favorite pops, and I know we will be making this one for a long time.

2. Pour into molds, and freeze until solid, 5+ hours. Enjoy!
Cilantro??? I can't do it. Just can't! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, well, you can always leave the cilantro out - but it's actually REALLY good! It's such a small amount you don't taste it as cilantro - it just lends a note of coolness. I was surprised!
