Hydration Popsicle Recipe

Hey Gnomies,

The temperatures outside have been dropping fast and as we head into winter I’m dreading the onset of cold and flu season. It seems like since my daughter started preschool last year someone in the family is always coming down with the sniffles. Despite our best efforts to keep germ free by washing our hands and keeping our immune systems healthy we are always getting sick.

You may remember my post last month about medicine cabinet organization. I’m pleased to report all of our medications and vitamins are still neatly organized on the lazy susan shelves I bought.

I recently re-stocked my pantry with all the essentials for cold and flu season. It’s always better to pick up these you need before you need them.

In addition to these products I also whipped up some hydration popsicles and have them stored in my freezer. These popsicles are perfect for all stages of sickness. They will soothe your sore throat, help keep you hydrated and help cool you down if you’re running a fever.

I used real fruit juice with no added sugar but loaded with vitamin C, coconut water, which has natural electrolytes to keep you hydrated and berries which are full of antioxidants.

Make these popsicles now and keep them in the freezer so they’re ready before you need them.
