Who doesn't love a cool refreshing popsicle during those warm months? I love having healthy alternatives in our freezer. Knowing what is going into our foods has been so important to me even before all of my allergies kicked in.
Before my youngest had her tonsils out at age 3 she helped me make a big batch of these in preparation for the recovery. She loved it and felt like she was getting a super sweet treat. (Don't worry, she still ate her weight in ice cream during that time too ;-)
If you have children, grab the children and have fun making these, bringing kids into the kitchen will inspire them to try more foods.
