Cucumber is a great source of B vitamins and help keep your little ones hydrated. Organic strawberries contain loads of vitamin C, and kids love the sweet, delicious flavor.
Try throwing some basil in with the mint for an even brighter flavor.
Homemade popsicles are superior because you control the ingredients and they’re waste-free. No plastic sleeves to find later in the yard or even worse, in the water supply.
We recommend these stainless steel popsicle molds for these strawberry cucumber popsicles. But you can also find plenty of options for BPA-free popsicle molds.
