Notes

Disposable Ice Pop Bags: We used disposable for this post to show off the colors and flavors, but there are also several reusable options available.

Reusable Silicone Ice Pop Bags: They come in multiple colors, so you can coordinate the color & flavor so you always know what you're getting.

Be sure to use a funnel when filling up the popsicle sleeves, otherwise this will get very messy very quickly!

Types of fruit: feel free to use your favorites, just keep the ratio the same: 2 cups of fruit, 1/2 cup of water, 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of sweetener. A few other types of fruit you could use: cherry, watermelon, blackberry, cranberries, grapes, apple and more.
