Summer time means frozen treats are hanging around far more often. I am not a huge fan of store-bought ice creams or other frozen treats, but I do love the occasional cool down summer treat on hot days. By using natural ingredients, fruit and essential oils I am getting a little health kick while nurturing that summer sweet tooth.
Here are a few of my favorite popsicle recipes. Be sure if you do choose to add essential oils to your popsicles you are using pure essential oils otherwise you may be adding things to your body that would not be healthy. You can find the brand that I trust the most in the highlighted links for oils in each recipes. You can also find out how to use essential oils safely in this free digital brochure.

Sounds delicious! I never had the idea to add essential oils to popsicles. And lately we have been making smoothie popsicles with gooseberries and lime essential oil might go very well with that! Great post, thank you for sharing.
That sounds amazing!
Printing and saving!! Due to my sons special diet he has never had ice-cream or popsicles because of the unhealthy junk in the store bought options. This will be such a special treat for him!!! Thanks for sharing!
