When the temperature is scorching hot like it has been lately, you want something that can cool you off quickly. And while water can certainly do the trick, nothing sounds more appealing than an ice-cold popsicle on a super-hot day. A warm-weather favorite of grown-ups and little ones alike, popsicles are an easy hit. From the supremely simple, like an easy watermelon popsicle recipe, to the surprisingly unexpected — strawberry rhubarb pie à la mode popsicles, anyone?! — we’ve compiled a list of popsicle recipes that has something for everyone. If you or your little ones have dietary restrictions, we’ve also factored that into our selections, as many of these pops are Paleo and gluten- and/or dairy-free.
But the best part about these popsicle recipes for kids is that you can make them all year long. They make for a great after-school snack or post-soccer-game treat that you can keep stocked in your freezer well beyond summer. We also made sure to seek out recipes that required little effort on your part — just a few ingredients and a couple hours of freezing, and the whole family will be snacking on these healthy treats in no time. Get ready to check “eat popsicles” off your kids’ summer bucket list, and read on for our favorite popsicle recipes for kids that the whole family can enjoy.
