Coconut Guava Popsicles

Since we don’t have family in the area, we rarely get drop-by visitors. But we were in for a huge surprise this weekend when Sam’s sister, brother-in-law and nephew drove up from California and showed up at our doorstep Thursday afternoon. Sam and I are probably the least spontaneous people, but we were happy to reorganize our weekend around our unexpected visitors. Our plans quickly shifted to focus around kid-friendly fun, like walks in the park, running through fountains, and eating popsicles until we got brain freeze. All in all a pretty fabulous 4th of July.

Plus, our guests were kind enough to bring the California sun with them. We had incredible weather – which isn’t a given in the Northwest – and it made sightseeing and playing tourist really easy. At the end of the day, all we wanted was something cold to help us cool off. And my homemade Coconut Guava Popsicles totally hit the spot. If you’re feeling the heat in your neck of the woods, I highly recommend giving these puppies a shot. With three simple ingredients, they’re sure to hit the spot. 

TIP: Don’t have popsicle molds? Try using paper cups!
