Today Ivy Larson of HotandHealthyLiving.com shares her favorite kid-approved, refreshing summer treat. Where I live, in south Florida, summer heat can be brutal! Nothing cools you down or refreshes you faster than an ice cold Popsicle. But, because my nutrition standards are pretty high I have a hard time finding ready-made popsicles made from healthy enough ingredients to actually buy. My Pineapple-Coconut Popsicles are not only super healthy and incredibly low in sugar they really do taste better than anything you could pick up in the frozen food aisle. I promise!

But don’t just take it from me, kids really do love these. You know it has to be honestly and truly tasty if it can pass a taste test with the ultimate Popsicle connoisseurs, those in the 5-year and under age group! 

So, skip the cruise to the tropical island and instead enjoy one of these ultra-refreshing frozen pops alongside your little one. Rich in antioxidant vitamin-C and the digestive aid bromelain from pineapple plus immune-supporting lauric acid from coconut, this freezer pop treat delivers tasty satisfaction along with lick after lick of lots of good-for-you stuff.
