Oh, how we love homemade popsicles in our house…  Summer weather strikes we begin the ongoing cycle of whipping them up in an attempt to stock up our freezer while devouring them on the daily.  And you know what?  I don’t mind one bit.  For the most part, they’re fairly nutritious and they’re so easy and fun to whip up with the munchkins.  

Some of our favourites from over the years?  

• milk & cereal popsicles {strangely delicious}
• chunky fruit popsicles {the prettiest popsicles you ever did see}
• yogurt & granola popsicles {breakfast in popsicle form}
• all-fruit watermelon popsicles {yum}
• tropical fruit popsicles {these are incredible!}
• healthy banana fudgesicles {sooo good}
• polka-dotted blueberry lemonade popsicles {the absolute PERFECT popsicle for frozen blueberry lovers like me!}

The perfect addition to our favourites list?  These dairy-free strawberries and cream popsicles made with fresh, locally grown strawberries.  Gosh, they’re good!  I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like Sam slurping back his first strawberries and cream popsicle before in my life…  I don’t even know how to describe it.  Maybe a mixture of pure bliss and complete desperation all at once? {Hahaha!} 

Now I probably wouldn’t let Grae and Sam eat these popsicles for breakfast like I do other varieties {popsicles can totally be breakfast!} because I see them as more of a treat, they are absolutely delicious and we *will* be making them all summer long, even if we have to start using typical grocery store strawberries.
