We're right in that time of year when the thought of hot coffee and turning on your oven seem downright repulsive. So naturally, you start making no-cook dinners, whipping up fruity smoothies, and sucking down cold brew like it's going out of style.

But we have another — some might say groundbreaking — way to get some much needed relief this summer: kombucha popsicles.

Normally, popsicles probably aren't on your radar as a healthy, refreshing summer treat. That's because a lot are packed with added sugars and zero actual fruit.

But not these wholesome and refreshing pops. Each contain just two ingredients: fruit and kombucha, in a one-to-one ratio — ensuring you get a nice dose of antioxidants fiber, and some gut-friendly probiotics.

So get yourself some and make these delightfully sweet and tangy pops for your next summer cookout. Feel free to play around with different flavor combinations, too — it's hard to go wrong!

Pro tip: If a fruit-kombucha slushy is more your style, simply follow the recipes above (be sure to use frozen fruit) and then pour your blended mixture directly into a glass instead of a popsicle mold. It's the perfect alternative to frozen margaritas, and we won't even tell anyone if you add a splash of tequila.
