Summertime is popsicle season! I had requests for a list of healthy popsicles for kids, so I headed to a few stores to see what I could find.
Side note- I’m totally that mom who doesn’t allow popsicles in the house and I make my son eat them outside. If you have a kid who doesn’t manage to drip sticky juice all over their body and the floor, I need to know your magical ways.
Here’s my list of healthy popsicles you can find at the grocery store!
How I chose this list
Here is what I used as selection criteria:
- no sugar in the top 2 ingredients (no added sugar if possible)
- 0 artificial colors
- 0 artificial flavors
- fruit and/or fruit juice must be the main ingredient
