Summer is closing in on us and for some regions, it is practically in full swing as temperatures soar! Hot days, sticky nights, and a need to keep children cool take center stage.

As a health conscious mother, I have a difficult time giving my daughter store bought popsicles. Even the ‘natural’ ones have an ingredient or two that I prefer to steer clear of. Sure, store-bought frozen treats are good in a pinch but really, they are so simple to make at home, especially if you have a quality set of popsicles molds. (Good thing we are giving 10 sets away today!)

Below you will find 10 recipes for all kinds of homemade popsicle goodness. Not only are these tasty and simple to make, but you can feel good about giving them to your children! Each recipe features a nutrient dense, low sugar, natural frozen treat that children will love on hot summer days. Go ahead, click around and head to the kitchen!
