Popsicles are an ideal treat for kids and parents on hot summer days (of which we hope to have many).
They are an even better treat if you bypass the supermarket brands full of high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavours, preservative, and/or sweeteners’ and make your own.
Making popsicles from scratch can be a fun project for you and the kids and ensures that your children are eating things that are good for them!
Let your kids get creative by combining their favourite fruits or juices in the blender or for a quicker fix, use your favourite flavour of Innocent Smoothie
