Red, White, and Blue Popsicles | Dye Free Recipe
Red, White, and Blue Popsicles
Popsicles are a big deal around my house. In the summertime my toddler would eat them all day if I let him. Most popsicles are filled with dyes. (Something I’m trying to stay away from as a mom) These red, white, and blue popsicles are dye free and all natural! They aren’t loaded with a bunch of high fructose corn syrup and taste even better than store bought popsicles. These popsicles are perfect for a 4th of July treat or simply for a warm summer day. Your kiddos will love these fun layered dye free popsicles and you’ll be just as obsessed with them.
These red, white, and blue popsicles do take a little bit of time but are worth it! My toddler loved helping make these dye free popsicles and had even more fun eating them. They’re so simple to make and taste so delicious. These popsicles will definitely be on the menu for our 4th of July celebration!
