The Terrible Twos and Ice Pops
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
We have faced many ‘terrible two’ challenges since my Munchkin was about 1 1/2, that was about a year ago. Behavior seems to be pretty good, with an occasional stomping fit. Those are few and far between so we handle them on a case by case basis. My biggest struggle has actually been food.
As a SAHM, I am responsible for my family’s nutrition, among other things. If my daughter won’t eat, I take that to heart. Some days she could eat us out of house and home and other days nothing will do. I have come to a few little tricks to give her something she loves with a healthy sneak attack, that makes Mom happy.
Most recently I have been making ice pops to help beat the heat. Instead of just packing them with delicious fruit, I make them with nutritious fruit and yogurt. She devours these! It makes me happy knowing when she won’t eat anything else, she is getting a good dose of fruit and protein.
Check these out and try mixing a little honey with yogurt and freezing that! It works like a charm. Use all natural Greek yogurt to kick up the protein!
Scrumptious Strawberry Banana Popsicles are the perfect summer treat. Tart, sweet and completely refreshing. Share one and make a memory!
Red White and Blue Berry Popsicles are packed with vitamin C, antioxidants & power boosting protein. Perfect low calorie 4th of July treat!
Blueberry Vanilla Yogurt Popsicles are packed with vitamin C, antioxidants & power boosting protein. Low calorie refreshing treats!

These look good and I'm 37! hahahaha
The perfect summer treat for kids of all ages. : )
I've got blueberries in the freezer and I think I may need to make some popsicles. You never outgrow your need for popsicles and I should know at 62.
Very true, everyone I know loves ice pops. Especially when it is warm out!
Boy, those are picture perfect popsicles…and more beautiful than anything you could ever buy. A great toddler treat…I'm sure your sweet girl loves these 🙂
Thank you Lizzy! Chad does a great job with the photography!
They all look amazing but the one thing I kept finding myself doing is imagining you having to bust your tail to get these pictures set up and taken before the popcicles started to melt, even slightly.
I wondered if you had your AC set on "Antarctica" ha ha.
Ha ha! Thanks Chris. Chad sure has his work cut out for him. But, the payoff is amazing!
I really need to make these! My two kids would love them. Where did you get the molds?
I am sure. Little disposable 3 ounce cups work great too. Cover them with aluminum foil and poke with a knife and insert sticks. My munchkin loves those. We call them 'cupsicles'. I found the molds on Amazon.com.
