Just wanted to share an idea for a quick and mostly sinless summer treat. When my kids are in the pool or outside doing sweaty summer stuff around the yard, I give them sugar-free Popsicles. They're the perfect snack for hot kids who are already messy and already destined for the bath.

My kiddies are two and four years old, so there's not a chance in the world I would allow them a Popsicle in the house (unless they're in the bath). So! They feel like they're getting a big deal dessert when I surprise them with purple, orange or red pops in the sun. At ten calories and about 12 cents each, the treat can't be beat.
