DIY Frozen Fruit Ice Cubes

DIY Frozen Fruit Ice CubesThis post has been sponsored by Canada Dry®. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Stay cool this summer with these simple, homemade frozen fruit ice cubes! Well, technically they are more just frozen fruit cuts but they replace ice cubes in your summertime drinks to prevent watering down! I’ll be more than 32 weeks along in my pregnancy this summer and staying cool is one of my main goals! I was at a party once where they used frozen grapes as the ice cubes and I loved it! So I started doing it at home on my own. It is SUPER easy and something you can do for a party, when having friends over, or just for yourself!

Canada Dry Drink With Frozen Fruit Ice CubesDIY Frozen Fruit Ice Cubes Frozen Fruit Ice Cubes for a drink with Canada Dry DIY Frozen Fruit Ice CubesI’ve been using our front porch a lot this summer. I think it is because there is a roof so I don’t have to bake in the direct sunlight! I’m much more sensitive to the heat being pregnant! haha. When I was at King Soopers picking out some fresh fruits, I also took a trip down the soda aisle to snag some refreshing drinks for me to enjoy while I sit in my yellow chairs and say hi to all my neighbors.

I saw that they had Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade (aka two of my favorite things), so I picked up a 12-pack and 2-liter just for kicks. You never know when you are going to need to make a batch of drinks for friends!

How to make DIY Frozen Fruit Ice Cubes Canada Dry on Oak and OatsThis summer has been different than others before. I was talking to Bruce about how I just feel like everything feels different. I am sure it is because I am pregnant – this summer is filled with so much anticipation and waiting. Also a lot of nesting, projects, figuring out maternity leave, buying a car, traveling, etc. I spend so much time trying to plan and prepare for the baby and not enjoying summer activities. I have to continue to remind myself (and my body helps me!) to slow down. To take it all in. To enjoy the sweetness of summer.

That’s what the frozen fruit cubes and Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade is for! To enjoy the sweetness of summer and take it all in. Speaking of relaxing, have you tried Clicklist yet? It is my favorite thing that King Soopers (plus all other Kroger banners) has started to do! You can order your whole grocery list online, pay for it, and then go pick it up during your scheduled window! It is THE BEST! Especially being pregnant and even more when I have a newborn in a car seat. Click here to add Canada Dry Ginger Ale + Lemonade to your Clicklist order and make sure to add all the fruit you want to freeze!

    I have never thought of doing this! I’m not sure I’d like it, but I know my hubby would LOVE it. Definitely going on my to-do list after we pick blueberries!

    I never buy Ginger Ale, but the lemonade version sounds delicious! And I always love frozen fruit!

      Yes! It is so good! I am all about the lighter drinks. If I am getting soda, it is ginger ale!

We waited several months and it was still crazy busy. Not going back next time until it is back to normal - long lines with toddlers are not the best 😜 Happy Weekend Friends!

She has been there for me my entire life and continues to pour her life into me and her grandbabies. Every week they spend a day with grandma so that I can get some work done and so that they can make memories. ♥️ 

I didn't grow up near my grandparents and my heart just melts that these two can know her so well. She joyfully and sacrificially helps watch the girls, complete my swing projects for me (like every Halloween Costume 🤪), and also makes time to travel to see her other children and grandbabies! I'd love to win this for her! To enter a mama in your life, head to the link in my bio!👆🏼
