Summertime is a great time to revisit favorite books. The Cat in the Hat story lends well to anything and everything red and white stripes! Making it the perfect inspiration for these healthy summertime treats.

During the summer months, I feel that my three little ones go through a freezer full of cool treats every afternoon. I’ll admit to trying out every “corn syrup” free option in the freezer section, but costs and pure volume of Popsicles consumed by my kids led me to buy a set of reusable Popsicle molds. When I was looking for a Popsicle mold, I wanted one that was BPA free, oversized, and had a drip tray. Here’s the set I’ve been using. The lids click on fairly easy and the kids like how big they are. Click over for current pricing —-> Set of Reusable Popsicle Molds

NOTE: so many home made layered frozen treats recipes call for freezing between each layer. If you do this, these molds will not work as the handle has a bar -like plastic that extends 3/4 of the way through the Popsicle. PLUS – these layers are much faster for kids to make, meaning they are ready to eat much sooner. Quick, easy, healthy, budget friendly… there’s not many frozen treats you can say that for!
