These popsicles are not only colorful and delicious, they're healthy and packed with protein and magnesium.
My 3yo, Dacey, used to get really upset when all the neighbor kids would have popsicles that were all different colors and she couldn’t have any. Last year, I started making her her own popsicles. I started out making them with tea, water, natural calm, and maybe throwing in a fruit or 2 to change up the color. It never turned out as exciting as the other kids’ pops, but it worked for the time being. This summer, I decided to kick it up a notch and really make a FUN popsicle for my girls. Dacey was so excited for these. She wanted to share them with all her friends and I think they help make her feel more included. They aren’t completely allergy friendly, but for us, they are okay. Although my girls have a million allergies, peanuts are not one of them. If peanuts or tree nuts are a major allergen for you or your little one, you can always skip the PB and just make regular chocolate.
