Healthy Popsicles for Summer 2023

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
