Popsicles are the “it” summer treat right now! And understandably so – it’s hot as heck outside, they’re easy to make, and (depending on your ingredients) they can be super-healthy. I was talking to my nephews recently and they were raving about all the fun they’ve been having at summer camp. When I asked them if they’d had Bug Juice yet, they looked at me like I had three eyeballs! I thought Bug Juice was a “must” at every camp? Most Bug Juice recipes are full of sugary, powdered drink mixes – so I certainly wasn’t going that route when concocting my own recipe. And most Bug Juices are green, so that was my starting point. Once I figured that out, the popsicle-part was a no brainer! Ingredients
1 cup diced cucumber (peeled and seeded) 1 cup diced Honeydew melon 1 cup pineapple juice 6-8 big mint leaves
Supplies
Blender Strainer Knife Popsicle molds (BPA-free)
Directions Special Note: If don’t think your kids will love the cucumber taste, just eliminate the cucumber and double the amount of melon. For adults, add a little bit of mashed ginger to the blender. It’s FABULOUS!
What makes this easy popsicle recipe so fabulous?
It’s vegan. It’s dairy-free. It’s refined sugar-free. These pops are green, but we didn’t use any synthetic food dyes. They’re perfect for on-the-go kids who like to eat on the way to play dates. They’re good for anytime of the day. I ate one for breakfast this morning – no joke!
