Popsicle Review & Giveaway
I love Popsicle® products! In fact, I have fond memories of growing up with Popsicle® products, whether it was outside in the summertime or indoors during the winter – with Big Sticks or Fudgsicles. As a parent, I have a stash of snacks on hand for my kids. Often times, I find myself breaking into their “stash” in the cupboards. I’m not alone though! According to a recent survey commissioned by Popsicle®, almost 80% of moms admitted that they break into their children’s stash of snacks and desserts. What the survey revealed is that moms try to avoid having candy and baked goods in the house.
Moms everywhere face what we call the “dessert dilemma.” 3 out of 4 moms agree that it’s challenging to find desserts and snacks that their kids enjoy and that are not bad for them. 60% of moms agree that it’s difficult to find desserts and snacks that satisfy both their kids and themselves.
What many moms may not realize is that Popsicle® has “better-for-you” treats, such as Low Fat Fudgsicle Triple Chocolate Bars and Sugar Free Popsicle Tropicals Ice Pops. We tried both of these in our home and they tasted great! The kids like the taste of the snack or dessert and you can relax knowing they are eating a treat that isn’t “bad” for them. Your kids won’t even know they’re eating something that’s low in sugar or fat! Plus, you can join in and not feel guilty!
MY THOUGHTS:
I like the taste of the “better-for-you” products and so does my family. I also like that they are available in sugar-free and lowfat. They taste so good, you can’t even tell they’re sugar free or lowfat!

I received Popsicle® samples from Unilever to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% mine.
I visited popsicle.com and I love the fudgsicles more than anything but my husband loves the fruity flavored ones. We also buy the sugar free ones now that hubby is diabetic. My kids will eat whatever is available (lucky me they are’t picky). We would love to get a free box!
I would love to try the Slow Melt Ice Age popsicles.
