Summer already kicked in with those high temperatures and homemade popsicles are a way to keep cool.

Popsicles are refreshing yet require little to no effort to make.  A scoop of ice cream on a summer day is the more obvious choice, but popsicles are lighter.  You  can store them in the freezer and enjoy one or two whenever you wish. Being prepared for summer’s high temperatures will be easier and you will get plenty of benefits from the berries such as vitamins, antioxidants and fibers.
