This dairy packed recipe was created in partnership with the ADA Mideast. As always, all thoughts & opinions expressed below are 100% my own.

The countdown to summer break is on in this house! My youngest has less than a month left of school & then the summer fun will officially begin. 

We have road trips, lazy days at the local pool, tennis camp, and nights by the fire pit making s'mores already on our summer break agenda. I also see lots of fun homemade popsicle making in our summertime plans starting with this recipe for these layered Banana Split Ice Cream Pops. 

This cool & creamy frozen treat is made with just 3 simple ingredients: vanilla ice cream, cold milk, & fresh fruit. And they come together in no time at all with a little help from your blender. 

Not only are these ice cream pops fun & 100% kid approved, but I can also feel good about treating my kiddo to these thanks to the high standards of safety & quality being enforced by our local dairy farmers. 

In a world where we seem to be constantly hearing about contaminated foods & recalls, it is reassuring to know that dairy foods are the among the safest & most highly regulated foods out there.

Is there anything better than a cool & frosty ice pop on a hot summer day? Whether you are pulling one out from the freezer or snagging one from the neighborhood ice cream truck as it makes it's rounds, there is just something about this frozen confection that brings back a little childhood nostalgia. Though we are certainly not above buying those super sugary & brightly colored freezer pops from the grocery store, more and more I am finding that we prefer to make our own healthier versions at home. 

We puree up fresh fruit with yogurt and other goodies and pour them into fun ice pop molds & then pop them in the freezer. In a just a few short hours, we have healthy, icy treats that help make those hot summer days just a tad more bearable. The kids love them and this mama is happy because I know exactly what is in these homemade popsicles- no preservatives or weird food coloring. Just fresh, healthy fruit and our favorite juices and yogurt. :)

Salted Caramel Mocha Popsicles

Okay, all... so it is hot in the south! I am not complaining, but I am so happy that Melanie from Melanie Makes is taking over the blog today with these amazing & frosty Salted Caramel Mocha Popsicles!  I could use one (or maybe three!) of these right about now. ;) Be sure to pop over & check out her blog, you all. I am in lurve with her awesome food photography skills and in awe of how many delicious recipes she shares on her blog each week...

I'm definitely not what you would call a coffee person.  I tried drinking it for a semester in college but I was putting so much stuff in it to make it drinkable that it pretty much defeated the purpose.  Then a year ago while leaving a favorite drink establishment, one of the employees offered me a caramel mocha that was a duplicate for an already filled order.  I took it to be polite figuring that once I walked out, I could pawn it off on my coffee loving husband to drink.

But the whipped cream cloud on top drizzled with caramel seduced me into taking a sip.  And I was a goner.  It turns out that I'm totally fine with mochas as mocha = chocolate! With the weather becoming warm, I've been treating myself to several iced mochas but I wanted something that I could enjoy at home. 

These popsicles are the answer! A mocha popsicle flavored with caramel and chocolate syrups, caramel creamer and whipped topping.  Even better?  One recipe makes enough popsicles to create a stash in my freezer, ready at a moments notice.

Is there anything better than a cool, creamy popsicle on a hot summer day?

While ice cream is a frosty treat we enjoy in this house any time of the year, popsicles are pretty much only reserved for the summer.

They are perfectly portable for taking on the run while chasing fireflies at dusk or dancing through a water sprinkler on a hot afternoon. Or for slurping on while sitting on the back deck. 

Yes, we love a good popsicle during the summer months. But the problem with most store bought popsicles are that they are super sugary and syrupy. 

Forget those sugary popsicles this summer and make these super simple & healthy Berry Patch Yogurt Pops instead!

They are made with nonfat yogurt, coconut milk, and fresh summer berries... and for a fun and tasty twist I added chewy, fruity Annie's Homegrown Berry Patch Bunny Fruit Snacks to them...
