You Are Never Too Old For a Good Popsicle..Or Running Through The Sprinklers
Celebrate the warm days of summer. Sit in the shade and savor a real fruit treat.
Some of my favorite memories with are kids involve being together on long summer days. School was out, and being able to sleep in a bit, stay up late enough to watch the stars overhead in hope of wishing on one as it sped across the sky, disappearing before you could even point it out to the person sitting next to you.
We loved our big lawn. Sometimes the neighbor kids would join in a game of football or hide and seek. It was a lot of mowing, but even the smell of freshly mowed grass was savory. And then there was the sprinkler.
The one that sprayed tiny streams into the air, looking more like a curtain than actual water drips. The basic sprinkler would move on simple gears to the setting we had put it on. But, in our minds, it was always trying to tag us with its watery fingers. There were the times where the kids would squeal with delight as they ran and jumped to the other side.
Bathing suits dripping wet, they would sit outside while I ran in to pull popsicles out of the freezer.
While we used to just get the basic juice popsicles, I love that these are made with real fruit.
This is what Martyna of The Wholesome Cook says about her recipe.
Healthier than their ice cream counterparts they are low in fat and have no added sugar. To spice them up a little, I have added some coconut milk and ground cinnamon.

Quick Tip: If you have a few bananas feel free to add those to your popsicle mix instead of coconut milk.
