These naturally cool treats are the creation of Manuel & Laura Flores. The inspiration to create their own cool treats came on a lazy Saturday afternoon during the unrelenting summer of 2008, when they were watching world renowned chef Rick Bayless create his own gourmet Mexican paletas on his TV show. Manuel & Laura began to reminisce about their childhood growing up in the Rio Grande border towns of El Paso and Brownsville, respectively, and the day trips their familias would take across the border into Mexico. Those trips were not complete without a visit to the aguas frecas stand or to the paletero. The flavors of sandia (watermelon), pina (pineapple), mango with chile, tamarindo, jamaica (hibiscus), melon (cantaloupe), and coco (coconut) left an indelible mark in their minds. That day, Manuel & Laura packed up the kids and began tracking down "paleteros" all over Austin in search of that one paleta that would satisfy their childhood craving. To their dismay, all they found were paletas that were made with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), artificial colors and preservatives to hard to pronounce. Even a visit to frozen food section of the local H.E.B. proved to be disappointing.
So, undaunted and downright desperate for a decent, healthy, popsicle, (the kids were in the back seat screaming by this point), Manuel & Laura decided to embark on making their own. And the rest is history.
