Sugar-Free Ice Pops

Sugar Free Ice Pops

Kids and ice pops in summertime go together like peanut and jelly all-the-time. But, we don’t want to give our kids frozen sugar do we? No. To the rescue: Fla-Vor-Ice Light. But what are they sweetened with? Splenda, the natural sweetener that is derived from sugar.

For $4.49 you get 24 jumbo-size blue raspberry, lime, cherry and grape freeze pops. Two pops = 5 calories (you read that right–just 5 calories). Buy a box at Carbsmart.com.

Psssst: Be the coolest parent ever and let your kid eat one during his bath. Hey, it’s mess free!

Ewwww! Splenda? For kids? Why, when you have alternatives:
1. Visit your health food store. Mine has no fewer than three types of ice pops (the push up kind modeled on the one above included) that are sweetened with all natual fruit juice.
2. Buy a mold or use dixie cups or an ice cube tray and make your own ice cubes!
Personally, as long as it is true blue sugar and not modified corn products, my kid gets it in moderation. Unless a child has special dietary needs, I can’t understand why you’d opt for artificial sweetener anyhow. (even Splenda, which is made from sugar. but not sugar. hmm.)
