Popsicles are synonymous with summer, and for good reason—they’re refreshing on hot days, help hydrate kids and adults alike, and are easy to hold, even for tiny toddler hands. While we don’t judge store bought varieties, making them allows you to control the ingredients, and doubles as a kid-friendly activity. Here are a few recipes to try, divided into two categories—kid-friendly, and 21 & Over (aka spiked varieties). Plus, fun molds to use when making them. Check out our refreshing summer popsicle recipes!

Arugula Corn Pear Salad
This recipe is shared with us from Lauren K. Stein, author of Fresh Made Simple, a family-friendly illustrated cookbook. I like to make this for my family because the kids may not eat “salad” but they are almost certain to eat all the components deconstructed on their plate and some goat cheese spread on crackers.
