Nutrition Info
Did you know that lime is an excellent source of vitamin C and has a decent amount of potassium? Cherries are a good source of potassium, vitamin C, fiber, and polyphenols. Polyphenols promote good blood circulation. They also are known to help manage blood pressure and control blood sugar levels.
Recipe Variations
This cherry lime popsicle recipe is incredibly versatile. This recipe is simple yet refreshing. Make it as is or feel free to get creative!
Citrus Alternatives
Don’t have limes on hand, or maybe you’re just in the mood for cherry lemonade popsicles instead? There’s no reason why you couldn’t swap the limes for lemons so you can enjoy cherry lemonade popsicles instead. Easy peasy.
Sweetener Options
I am a big fan of maple syrup. It is delicious and dissolves well in cold liquids which I often use it in. Are you not a fan of maple syrup or maybe you just don’t have any around? This limeade popsicle recipe can be sweetened with good old cane sugar. (Just make sure that it thoroughly dissolves.) An easy way to do this is to use warm water instead of cold water in the recipe.
Are you looking for a sugar-free alternative? These cherry lime popsicles can easily be made sugar-free. I would recommend using stevia or monk fruit sweetener. I am a fan of monk fruit sweetener because it doesn’t effect the overall taste of the recipe. That being said, if you are accustomed to stevia that works great too.
