Popsicles are one of my favorite ways to enjoy a summer dessert because they’re easy to make with clean, healthy ingredients. Today, I’m sharing seven simple, tasty popsicle recipes that I’m sure you’ll come back to again and again.

Here are all the flavors on the menu:

Toasted Coconut Vanilla, Blackberry Cheesecake, Strawberry-Lime, Lemon-Mint, Carrot-Ginger, Chocolate Crunch, and White Chocolate Raspberry.

These recipes have so many nourishing ingredients wrapped up in a refreshing package, like coconut cream, fresh berries, lemon and lime juice, and of course a little chocolate. Some of them use honey and maple syrup and others use monk fruit, so you can choose what works best for you. I know many of you have reached out about substitutes for monk fruit—feel free to use honey instead, just keep in mind that it will change the nutritional analysis.

Wishing you health and happiness,
