delicious (and healthy!) strawberry ice pops

One word describes childhood and summertime: popsicles.Cool, refreshing and best if the juice is running right off the chin.

Which is why I was thrilled to find this recipe for homemade {and healthy!} strawberry ice pops. No white sugar needed! Just fresh berries, honey and lemon. With all the sugary options in the grocery store aisle, we were excited to try this not-so-likely-to-amp-up-your-kid option. Plus, we had a ton of strawberries from our strawberry picking adventure and this seemed like an excellent thing to do with them!

Epic hit. The Bug devoured her pop. And another item crossed off our summer bucket list {although I have a feeling this may be the summer of ice pop experimentation!}.
