KIWI + GRAPEFRUIT DETOX-POPS

Kiwi fruits and grapefruits are both renowned for their detoxing properties, so I thought what better way to incorporate them into my diet than making them into these delicious, zesty little ice-blocks!

They're not super sweet, but they're extremely refreshing and are a perfect way to cool down on a scorching summers day :) They're also INCREDIBLY EASY



RECIPE:

• 1 330 mL carton of RawC coconut water
• 1 kiwi fruit
• 1/2 ruby grapefruit
• 1/2 Tbsp coconut sugar (or any other healthy sweetener of choice!)

METHOD:

• Blend the coconut water with most of the 1/2 grapefruit (leaving a few slices to put into the icebox themselves) and the coconut sugar
• Chop up the kiwi fruit into small pieces, as well as the rest of the grapefruit 
• Pour into ice block moulds and pop in pieces of fruit
• Freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight
• Enjoy!
