Summer is around the bend, and all I can think about are frozen rosé, boozy popsicles, fresh mint mojitos, and all my other favorite ice cold drinks. Sitting poolside with something chilled is easily my favorite thing to do in the summer months. I’m not a great swimmer, I’m not the best water sports athlete, but boy can I throw back drinks!
The issue is keeping things healthy enough where I don’t feel guilty. I’m pretty good at opting for healthier drinks, but when it comes to the fruitier options, like popsicles, I’m always considering the sugar content. Which is why I decided to learn how to make my own!
These red wine peach popsicles are the easiest, most delicious (and cute!) recipe to have on hand for the summer. They’re tasty, cool, and of course, healthy.
Benefits Of Red Wine Peach Popsicles
Each of the ingredients in these red wine peach popsicles has an amazing benefit. First of all, it’s sweetened with honey instead of sugar. Honey falls much lower on the glycemic index than sugar, and is a great alternative for satisfying your sweet tooth, without the sugar spike! Blueberries are also a low-sugar berry, and contain an incredible amount of antioxidants.
Now for the base. The base of these popsicles is red wine and Detox tea. Red wine contains antioxidant properties that may help offset oxidative stress. [1] And Detox tea is packed with metabolism-boosting superfoods that help curb cravings and trim your waistline. (Even in tasty popsicle form!)
