So it’s not that popsicles are necessarily that bad for you, but you do have to consider what a lot of them are made of. Many are high in sugar or have added high fructose corn syrup, which is why I prefer to make them myself. When something is homemade, it allows you to determine how much sugar or other ingredients you want to add. Since these popsicles are so quick and easy to make, they don’t have any added sugar, and I know the fruit sugars I’m consuming are more natural than whatever is in the store-bought kind, it’s a no-brainer for me. When compared side-by-side, I’d much rather eat a popsicle that I know is made with fresh ingredients than ones manufactured with ingredients I don't even recognize.
