Warm weather means it's time for cold treats, so break out the freezer molds and get ready to make these simple no-cook ice pops. Ranging from citrusy to creamy, these low-calorie frozen desserts are perfect for picnics and poolside barbecues. You don't have to worry about heating up your kitchen to make these treats either. Typical ice pop molds are three to four ounces. If your molds are bigger, make sure to adjust your calorie numbers accordingly.

Using only three ingredients each, these incredibly easy ice pops are hard to pass on. People who prefer something beachy will delight in the Tropical Mango Pops, but the adventurous eater really needs to make a batch of the Mango-Jalapeño Pops. From sweet to spicy, these recipes offer a variety of pops to please any palate. These no-cook ice pops are a great project to make with young chefs. Each kid can pick their own, stir everything together, and pour into molds. Mom will be especially happy knowing exactly what's in the treat they're eating.

First up, our Fudgy Banana Pops. They're creamy, chocolaty, and cold, everything you want after a long swim in the pool. The addition of cocoa powder makes this twist on a banana pop feel indulgent, but each pop rings in at only 91 calories, so eat a sweet treat to beat the heat.

Spicy-sweet is a great label for this ice pop. The creamy sweetness of the mango blunts the heat of the jalapeno. We make one ingredient, the lime, play double duty by using both the zest and juice.

View Recipe: Boozy Watermelon Pops

Is there anything more refreshing than a slice of watermelon on a hot summer day? Maybe, but not much. So why not take it a step further and freeze watermelon juice into a delicious ice pop? Add a pour of tequila for a boozy treat, or save the liquor for later, and add a little sugar for a family-friendly treat.

Piña Colada Pops

View Recipe: Piña Colada Pops

Ultra creamy and tangy, with a faint hint of vanilla, these tropical-inspired pops taste like summer. Indulgent enough to be dessert, but light enough in calories to be a small snack, Piña Colada Pops are worth the freezer space. To make a more adult version, and to stay more true to the name, feel free to add a dash of rum when whisking.
