Wash and prepare the mixed fruits by removing stems, seeds, and any inedible parts. Cut larger fruits like mango into small chunks to fit better in the blender.
Place the prepared fruits into a blender. Add the lemon juice, honey, and water to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness with more honey if needed.
Pour the fruit mixture into an ice cube tray or popsicle molds. For a fun twist, insert small pieces of fruit or mint leaves into the mixture before freezing.
Place the tray or molds into the freezer and allow them to set for at least 4 hours or until completely frozen.
Once frozen, remove the fruit ice from the molds by running warm water around the outside of the molds if needed.
Serve immediately as a refreshing snack or dessert. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.
