Popsicles are a refreshing treat in the summer heat, and these homemade ones can't be beat!
Really though, these are naturally sweetened, have no artificial colors or flavors and are still cheap. And tasty. You could totally have one for breakfast. It's basically a frozen smoothie. I always forget to take pictures of stuff, so I'll try to remember the next time I make some.
I have two sets of popsicle molds. Some cheap ones from Ikea (in pink) and a set from Amazon that is similar, but not identical, to these. I prefer the latter, but really any old popsicle mold will do just fine.

Blend everything until smooth, then pour into popsicle molds and freeze.
