Hey everyone! So today I wanted to share with you a couple super fun and healthy recipes for popsicles! With the summer being extremely hot, I like to have something cold to cool me off. But, the traditional popsicle just doesn’t do it for me. I really only like homemade popsicles, just because I’m weird like that. So, let’s get into these recipes!
- water
- various fruits (all of your favorite)
- popsicle mold
I saw the idea for this popsicle from MacBarbie07 on YouTube last summer, and I thought the idea was outstanding. They are super healthy for you because literally they are fruit and water. This will keep you hydrated, but add a little funky sweetness to your popsicle.
All you do is cut up your desired fruits, pop them into the mold and add water to fill the empty space. Then freeze your popsicles until they are completely frozen. Then enjoy!
Tip: If your popsicles are stuck in the mold, run the mold under warm water until the popsicle slides out of the mold with ease.
- popsicle mold
- Sprite/lemon or lime flavored Water (take your pick, carbonated vs. non-carbonated)
- gummy bears
So these popsicles are not the healthiest, but everything in moderation. These are fun if you’re looking for a sweeter and more sugary popsicle for a fun junk food (that won’t leave you feeling all gross after eating).
So for this recipe simply add your drink to the mold until it is about 2/3 full. Then drop in your desired amount of gummy bears. Then just pop your molds into the freezer until they fully freeze! These are not very healthy, so don’t eat too many, but they are a fun treat for the summertime!
- popsicle mold
- favorite juice to drink in the morning (orange juice, apple juice, etc.)
My mom used to always make these for my brother and I when we were younger and they are perfect for breakfast! All you do is simply pour your favorite breakfast juice into the mold and just put them into the freezer until they solidify. Then enjoy them for breakfast the next morning, or just have them as a treat whenever it’s hot!
- Kool-Aid mixes in your favorite flavors (3 different flavors)
- water
- popsicle mold
I tried making these popsicles last Fourth of July and they turned out great! All you have to do is mix the Kool-Aid following the directions on the packaging. The great thing about Kool-Aid is that it is so inexpensive (and can also be used for hair dye!). So just mix your Kool-Aid and then pour your first flavor until the mold is about 1/3 full. Wait until this flavor fully freezes and then you can pour in your next flavor filling it another 1/3 up. Then finally finish off the popsicles with your last flavor. Wait until it is fully molded and frozen and then you can enjoy them! They are a little time consuming, and if you really need a quick popsicle just mix some Kool-Aid and just use one flavor to make a popsicle. These popsicles are really sugary, so definitely don't eat a ton of them, but they make a fun summer treat.
Hope you enjoyed reading about these fabulous summer popsicles and let me know how everything goes if you give them a try! Email me pictures at preppydaily@gmail.com if you try any of the recipes out. Thanks for reading!
What's your favorite snack to cool down to in the summertime?
