Clean Eating Popsicles...Just in Time for Canada Day!

Now that we're on summer vacation, I have been looking for ways to keep Hannah outside on the deck with me. She is turning into an inside girl (terrified of bugs... she got a horsefly bite yesterday and I've never heard her scream so loud!). One snack she loved as a baby was popsicles, so I wanted to make some sugar free treats for her to enjoy outside.

These were super easy to make. She has been going through berries in stages (loves one or two kinds of berries, but refuses the rest and changes her mind about every three days). As a result, I had some raspberries about to go bad. I lightly smushed (technical term?) the berries and filled each popsicle with half raspberries and half coconut water. They froze great in my Dollarama popsicle moulds.

End result? She loves them! Now to teach her you can't leave the popsicle on the deck floor and come back to eat it five minutes later!

Popsicle instructions:

Materials:
Raspberries (or any other kind of berries)
Coconut water
Popsicle moulds
Freezer :)

Directions:
Gently smush raspberries until mushy
Spoon in a couple spoonfuls of raspberry into each mould
Fill moulds to top with coconut water
Put on lids and gently shake (this will disperse the berries through the popsicle rather than having one big clump).
Freeze for several hours or overnight.

These were a hit with Hannah! I'm looking forward to experimenting with different berries and maybe mangoes and kiwis as well!

Hope everyone has a great Canada Day! How do you plan on celebrating?
