Let’s face it, every kid loves popsicles, but unfortunately, not every kid loves healthy foods. At last, there’s Ice Pop Joy, the first book of its kind that shows how healthy food can also be fun treats!

Ice Pop Joy is a collection of delicious, healthy, organic popsicle recipes for the whole family. It’s a valuable reference for parents who are looking for a different type of snack: one that’s cutting-edge nutritious and delicious. One example is “the rockstar”, which combines the vitamin-rich veggie kale with strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries.

This book also offers a wide variety of nutritious recipe choices, including: tofu, yogurt and bean-based popsicles for kids who may need more protein; feel-better popsicles for all ages; pure fruit-based popsicles; healthy versions of chocolate bars; and specialty pops like the “spicy Italian”, which combines strawberries with mascarpone cheese, balsamic vinegar, walnuts, roasted coconut flakes and a little black pepper.

Parents will appreciate that their kids are not only eating healthier foods, but that they are also expanding their culinary palates with exceptional ingredients such as fresh herbs, local, organic and seasonal fare.

Ice Pop Joy is being published
by Sellers and will be available nationwide in the Spring 2011.
