These popsicles are perfect for the summer time as they are creamy and tangy.
They are so simple to make and are free of the “junk” in store-bought popsicles like high-fructose corn syrup and artificial dyes.
Did you know high-fructose corn syrup can cause obesity, diabetes, tooth decay, LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), triglyceride increase, risk of heart attack, anemia, poor immunity, fatigue, mood swings and has no nutritional value!
Artificial colouring has caused kidney tumors, immune system tumors, brain gliomas, tumors of the urinary bladder in rodents and thyroid carcinogen and adrenal tumors in animals.
Red #40 and Yellow #5 can cause hypersensitivity (allergy-like) reactions in some consumers and might trigger hyperactivity in children.
Here are some great natural colouring alternatives!
- Green: spinach juice
- Orange: pumpkin or carrot juice
- Pink: raspberries or beetroot
- Blue: blueberries
- Purple: red cabbage or grapes
- Yellow: yellow carrots, turmeric powder, saffron flowers
