True or false - summer doesn’t officially start until you’ve enjoyed a frozen treat. We’re leaning toward “true,” which is why we love these three frozen pop recipes. They’re hydrating, bursting with fruit and the perfect way to cool off during a sizzling summer day.
The following three recipes are measured for these frozen pop molds, but any pop molds, or even an ice cube tray, will work.
