Homemade Lemonade Popsicles with Honey

I love going to festivals and fairs and getting one of those fresh squeezed lemonades that they squeeze to order and shake up right in front of you. It’s just so refreshing on a hot summer day. It is literally the only time I ever drink lemonade, but it is always such a treat. This summer, I am VERY pregnant and VERY  hot, especially with our current 90 degree temps. I want to eat ALL the frozen treats, but I don’t need to add on extra weight to the already growing tummy I have which just makes me hotter and more uncomfortable. I want to enjoy those flavors I love  of those fresh squeezed lemonades in a slightly healthier way. AND, why not make it frozen, because I NEED something to cool me down!

I recently made these lemonade popsicles and sweetened them with honey simple syrup rather than sugar which makes them feel a little less guilty. My kids  loved these too and you will feel good about giving them their special treats, too!
