Vegan Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles 2

Yesterday here was a scorcher. 93 degrees and severe humidity. This is not fun for anyone, let alone a woman who is a week away from her due date. And I don’t know about anyone else, but even being pregnant when it’s really hot like that, I don’t feel much like eating anything but popsicles. And I also want to stick my head in the freezer all day.

I had been dying to try the coconut water lemonade, so I picked up a few boxes and it definitely lived up to it’s hype. Totally refreshing and delicious, just like I was told. I knew after Tuesday’s heat (and the oncoming Wednesday heat) that I needed some popsicles. With my second container of coconut water, I decided to make some popsicles. What’s more refreshing than lemonade and fruit on a hot day? Voila! Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles were born! I ate two yesterday afternoon. I hope you find them as refreshing as I do! The best part is you can use any extra for a delicious smoothie! These are my favorite popsicle molds!

Okay, who remembers Bill Cosby’s J-E-L-L-O pudding pop commercial?

 

When I think of hot summers running around as small child, I remember pudding pops, too! I remember how sad I was when my mom told me they stopped making them. I just don’t get it, there were a household favorite. The heat is now at us full on and being pregnant I am hot - ALL. THE. TIME. I am really lucky my parents have central AC to keep me cool through the entire month of July!

Reminiscing about these pudding pops inspired me to make my own. Just three ingredients, less than 5 minutes to make (minus freezer time) and minimal clean up! You can’t go wrong! (and if you’re in the mood for something fruity, try my watermelon pop recipe, you’ll love that one too!) And there are a vegan, healthy version of them, which is even better! What is your favorite kind of popsicle?!
