Cantaloupes, sometimes know as muskmelons, rock melons, or Persian melons, are a quintessential summer fruit. At the perfect peak of ripeness, they are sweet, slightly floral, and super juicy.

Cantaloupes are more than just delicious though! They’re a rich source of fibre, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B-complex, and minerals including calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. That means these cantaloupe popsicles are not only great as a dessert, but they make a pretty healthy breakfast or snack as well. Give them a try for yourself:
