Frozen-Fruity-LaCroix Ice Pops

We do not have air conditioning in our house. For ninety-percent of the year it is quite managable…for that other ten percent we eat popsicles and sit in front of a heavy-duty fan. 😉

When I was a kid, my mom made popsicles out of kool-aid and sugar. They may not have been the healthiest choice but they were cheap, made with love, and I never knew the difference.

Now that I’m a mom, I find myself looking for similar ways to cool my kids off.

While I’m not an amazing cook, by any stretch of the imagination, I do enjoy playing around with different frozen treats for those hot afternoons in front of the fan.

We’ve tried quite a few concoctions. Recently, fresh fruit and sparkling water have been our favorite.

I use LaCroix, a healthy alternative to soda, that contains no sugar or caffeine. It comes in a ton of different natural flavors including: grapefruit, lemon, lime, berry, passionfruit, etc. It’s got the bubbly, carbonated goodness without any questionable ingredients.

For a little extra sweetness, I squeeze in a couple drops of Stevia and pour the beverage over fruit before popping them into the freezer.

Result: Yumminess and cool, happy children. <3

  1. OMG! You don’t own an AC?! Even though we get like 3 weeks of Summer here, I could not live without my window AC units. No wonder you make so many fresh fruit frozen ice pops!!! They look delicious by the way. I think my favorite Summertime food is not a very common thing to eat. But I am obsessed with cucumbers, so I put a little lime and chilli pepper on my cucumbers for a cool summer snack. I suppose its nice to have a little something different when I’m eating fruit all day long.

    1. haha. No AC 😉 Are you in the Pacific Northwest too? I love cucumbers, they are the perfect summer snack. I can’t say I’ve tried them with lime and chili pepper…sounds pretty good! <3
