Watermelon Cooler
Watermelon is always juicy and refreshing, but kick up the cool-treat factor a notch by freezing it into pops! Blend six cups of watermelon pieces (without rinds and seeds, of course) with one tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice and one tablespoon freshly grated lime zest. Pour into Dixie Cups or popsicle molds and enjoy–preferably on the back porch.
Strawberry Overflow
Getting Kids to eat fresh summer strawberries isn’t usually hard (it’s not kale, after all), but we can practically guarantee a way to get those vitamin-packed goodies consumed: Make strawberry popsicles! Remove the hulls from a pint of strawberries and throw them in the blender. Add enough sugar-free juice to cover the berries, blend for 20 to 30 seconds and pour into popsicle molds. Let them harden overnight in the freezer; watch them disappear the next day.

Peachy Keen
These peaches-and-creme popsicles are a healthier spin on those old orange Push-Ups. Blend peaches, water, yogurt, lime juice, honey and bananas all together and pour into cups, then stick them in the freezer. Before the liquid solidifies completely, place the popsicle sticks through the top. Freeze again overnight and enjoy the drip-on-your-chin goodness.

Blueberry Bliss
Want to keep things simple in the kitchen? This sweet treat only calls for three ingredients (seriously!). Buy a can of blueberries, drain and save the juice, then blend the berries with one tablespoon of the juice. For the meat of your pop, use two cups of lemon yogurt and whisk in 1/2 a cup of milk. Alternate between blueberry and yogurt mixture while spooning into your molds and finish your blueberry pops by spooning one tablespoon of the remaining blueberry juice onto each pop and swirling with a knife. Yum!
