In order to make these super cute and healthy all-natural fruit pops you will need to get a mini cookie cutter set.

As far as fruits, you can use melon, kiwi, bananas, or watermelon. It’s important that the fruits have a texture, thickness, and consistency that will enable them to hold up (watermelon and bananas can be tricky).

You can also add a drizzle of dark chocolate or dip them in greek yogurt. Click here to learn how to make them.
