Cool Tips for Healthier Popsicles
Choose Whole, Organic and Fresh Ingredients
Stick to real fruit, fresh-squeezed juice, and natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Whole ingredients mean more flavor and more nutrients, no dyes, no fillers, no junk. Buy organic as much as possible.
Look for BPA-Free & Non-Toxic Molds
Silicone or stainless steel molds are a great alternative to traditional plastic ones. Make sure they’re labeled BPA- and phthalate-free for safer snacking, especially for kids.
Skip the Added Sugars
Rely on ripe fruit for sweetness and skip added sugar altogether. If needed, a splash of fruit juice or a little honey goes a long way.
Add a Boost of Nutrition
Toss in chia seeds, a touch of coconut milk, or even blended spinach for a vitamin-packed treat. Kids won’t even taste the hidden greens!
Watch the Portions
Mini molds are great for little hands (and little appetites). They’re fun, fast to freeze, and easy to enjoy without overdoing it.
Get the Kids Involved
Let kids pick ingredients, pour mixes, or layer colors—it turns snack time into a hands-on, healthy activity.
