FROZEN FROSTY FRUITY PALETAS, QUE RICO!

Summertime is finally here. The thermometer is pushing 95 and not a cloud in the sky. Sitting out on the patio eating a frozen frosty fruity paleta is sounding like heaven right now. When we lived in Mexico, we used to buy them off the street.They are full of fresh fruit and veggies (yes I did say veggies) and it is hard to find them here is the states that even come close. So, Emma and I decided to make our own.  Here are a few of the ones that we are trying out tonight.

NILLA-NANNA (vanilla bannana)

1 cup milk

3/4 cup mashed ripe banannas

1 t. mexican vanilla (or vanilla bean)

1/4 cup sugar

Blend all together in the blender until sugar disolves and pour into molds.

CUMCUMBER CHILI

3 cup cubed cucumbers (peeled and seeded)

2/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup lemon juice

1 seeded jalapino

Whirl in the blender until smooth. Pour into molds.

I put a few strawberries into this or you could put watermelon too. Yummo!!

PINA COLADA

1 cup milk

1/2 cup chunked pinapple

1/3 cup sugar

1 t. mexican vanilla

1/2 t. coconut extract

1/4 cup shredded coconut

Whirl and pour and add more fresh fruit chunks if you like them chunky.

SOUR ORANGE

1 1/3 cup orange juice

1/3 cup lime juice

1/4 cup sugar

Whirl and pour!

More recipies to come as we test them out!!
