As the warm weather arrives, thoughts of anything that’ll keep me cool come to mind.

Ice pops are so refreshing in the heat of the day and taste oh-so-sweet on our tongues. For many of us, it’s a nostalgic summertime treat that instantly takes us back to our childhood days.

They come in all sorts of colors and flavors – from classic cherry to my strawberry lemonade to more adventurous ones like bubblegum and banana bearberry – giving us such a wonderful range of choices!

Traditionally, ice pops have A LOT of sugar, so I re-created a version that’s low in sugar and has lots of flavor. You can make a few at a time, pop them in the freezer, and have them ready when you’d like.
