Fourth of July Fresh Fruit Pops

It's officially summer, which means sunshine, cookouts and light and refreshing food and drinks. What better way to enjoy a hot summer day than with an icy cold popsicle? Popsicles are fun and refreshing to eat, and, super simple to make! If you don't already have reusable popsicle molds, you're going to want to get yourself some! When you make your own popsicles, you can control the flavor and ingredients, making them healthier and more fresh than what you'd buy at the grocery store. The flavor options are endless, and, you can even layer flavors (which looks pretty cool, too!).

Celebrate the Fourth of July with delicious on-theme blueberry/strawberry popsicles. Made with fresh fruit, the color of these popsicles is all-natural, and they are just sweet enough, thanks to Wedderspoon Manuka Honey. 

This recipe is vegetarian-friendly. They're just as delicious as they are pretty, and both kids and adults with enjoy them. 

This recipe calls for minimal ingredients and won't take you long at all to make, however, the popsicles obviously need to be frozen, so leave yourself time to let them freeze before you plan to enjoy them or share with friends and family.
