These Homemade Electrolyte Popsicles are my go-to on hot days, after the kids have been running around outside, or any time they need something more refreshing than plain water. They’re made with coconut water, a hint of honey, and a bright pop of lemon.

The Ingredients

How to Make Homemade Electrolyte Popsicles
Step 1: Whisk ingredients in a mixing bowl until smooth. Taste and adjust honey to preferred sweetness.
Step 2: Carefully pour the mixture into ice pop molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.

Tips and Tricks
- Add Other Ingredients: Feel free to add other ingredients to these Homemade Electrolyte Popsicles like a touch of grated ginger or even swap the lemon for orange juice.
