Nothing reminds me of summer time as a kid more than sitting in the grass, eating an ice pop! Now that I am an adult and a mom, I want to continue this summer-time tradition with my own little man. But I also want to make sure they are something I can feel good about!
Making popsicles (or ice lollies) at home is super easy! All you need is a blender (or food processor) and popsicle molds. Check out these BPA-Free popsicle molds on Amazon.

Why Coconut Water?
Of course, you can substitute any of these recipes with water in place of coconut water however coconut water is full of a variety of essential nutrients!
Coconut water is a great source of:
Potassium– which is needed for muscle contractions
Magnesium – which is needed for regulating blood sugar, nerve function, and making protein, bones, and DNA
Calcium – which is needed for strong bones and teeth
Phosphorous – which is needed for energy production and bone health
The best part is that coconut water offers all of these essential nutrients with a very easily accepted flavor! You just want to be mindful to watch for “added sugars”. Coconut water has natually occuring sugar (about 0.8 grams of sugar per fluid ounce of coconut water) which is okay however anything added is something to avoid – especially when cooking (or in this case freezing) for toddlers!
