Eats // Red, White and Blue Americana Pops

The temperatures here have been soaring. And by soaring, I mean, when we get in our car and look at the outside temperature reading, it’s only been a degree or two shy of 100 degrees farenheit most of this week. Enter options to stay cool, like plenty of pool time and popsicles. Lots and lots of popsicles. 

Last week, we joined some friends at a baseball game (and relaxed in the suit thanks to them!), although I spent most of my time at the game strolling the food trucks outside. I made nice with the all-natural popsicle truck (the sweet owner and mama inside was preggo with her third) and we talked pops. Mainly, we chatted about life and kids, but I was so intrigued by the flavors she made, like peach jalapeño, blueberry lavender and avocado, that we had to talk shop a bit. So this week? We’re on a popsicle-making mission! I started with something simple, healthy, easy… and patriotic to get us ready for the 4th! And my boys? They can’t get enough of em’ (I’m sure Aliyah would feel the same way, but she’s been on vacay in Michigan with her papa and nana). I love that these are made of pure fruit with a creamy center of organic vanilla yogurt (GREAT with coconut yogurt too for a dairy free option), and besides the great flavor, my boys like the cold treat. Plus, these are great for Skye, who just turned one, and his teething gums.
