This summer, the coolest treats don’t have to come with a jingle.
If you’re looking for better-for-you ways to beat the heat, for you and the kids, look no further than your own freezer! With a little creativity and one purely powerful ingredient, you can whip up some cool treats that are packed with flavour and are refreshingly clean.
The sweet secret is using Ocean Spray’s new line of Pure Juices—made with just one ingredient and no added sugar, these bold juices deliver real fruit flavour without the added sugar in most juices.
They come in three delicious flavours: Pure Cranberry, Pure Tart Cherry, and Pure White Grapefruit, so whether you’re loading up your water bottle with “drink drops”, or blending up homemade sorbet, here are three easy ways to turn your freezer into the ultimate summer snack station:
1. Tart Cherry Pops & Drops
Skip the store-bought freezies and fill your popsicle trays with Ocean Spray’s Pure Tart Cherry Juice for a frozen treat that’s 100% juice, and 100% kid-approved! And since plain water can get a little boring, freeze the juice in ice cube trays to create flavour-packed “drink drops” you can toss into water bottles for a fun pop of colour and fruity twist.
2. White Grapefruit Sorbet
Your blender just became your new favourite dessert tool! Simply blend the Pure White Grapefruit Juice with ice for a tangy, refreshing sorbet that feels fancy but only takes five minutes. Light, citrusy, and surprisingly addictive—even for grapefruit skeptics!
3. Cranberry Fro-Yo Bites
For the fro-yo lovers, line a mini muffin tray with paper cups, fill with a mix of Greek yogurt and a splash of Pure Cranberry Juice, then freeze. These bite-sized frozen yogurt treats are perfect for little hands and big cravings—and way better than what’s rolling down the street!
