This post is Sponsored by Ocean Spray but my opinions are 100% my own!
Have you seen this NEW Ocean Spray product on the shelves in stores? If you haven’t, this is definitely one you should try. You can find it on the shelves everywhere and it’s a great one to slip to the kids and they may not even know. My girls love lemonade especially pink lemonade so they were happy to try this out and they loved it!
I love that it’s has 100% Vitamin C and it even comes in a diet version that only has 5 calories a serving. That means less sugar for my girls and for me.

This is a delicious refreshing drink. – I am a fan of Ocean Spray drinks.
The Cosmo Pops sound like a really refreshing treat for the summer time
months.
Neat idea! This is a great summer treat!
I didn’t know that they made a cran-lemonade! I just love their products. I don’t have any freezer pop molds, but I hope that I can me these in paper cups. I am sure going to try! Thanks for sharing this.
Yummy, these sound good for the 4th of July. I think all of the adults will like them.
These look great! Three of my favorite drinks all rolled into one.
I love the nutritional benefits of cranberry but the flavor is not the best so having lemonade in it makes it more refreshing to me. Thank you.
