Popsicles are great snacks for the summer because they are refreshing and hydrating. When made at home you can monitor the sugar levels and make them healthier by adding fresh fruit or even puree vegetables and add them to popsicles too! My boys and I love to make homemade popsicles. We have been playing around with a few recipes and found these two recipes to be our favorite so far.

***The Playful Parent was not paid to endorse the products featured or sponsored in any way to write this recipe. I prefer to use the natural JELL-O because it’s free of preservatives and food dyes. Simply Made is my favorite store bought lemonade; it just tests so fresh. I have found that Fair Life is the best and least expensive milk free of hormones. Hope you enjoy this summer recipe. ***
