To me one thing that just screams summer is popsicles. Unfortunately most store bought popsicles are filled with a bunch of sugar and unneeded extra ingredients. If you make them yourself it’s not only fun but so much healthier and if you have kids popsicles are a great thing to make with them. Let them come up with some flavor ideas and crazy names. They will love it! These popsicles combine strawberries, lime and basil and uses coconut water as a base. I love using coconut water vs. plain water because it gives just a bit of sweetness and also has added health benefits. These are sure to be a hit in your house! Enjoy!
