[…] even harder when they are eating sugar water for snacks. When I saw the pin on Pinterest from the Clumsy Crafter for easy and health popsicles I knew I would have to make some for my little munchkins […]

I have something embarrassing to tell you, my friends. (Deep breaths)… I know this is a judgment free zone (because yall forgive me for having the world’s worst looking hot glue gun).. so here it goes….. My front door is naked. Naked. It’s bad enough that the previous owners painted it a very unfortunate shade […]
It’s always funny when you’re packing everything up at the end of the Christmas season and somehow you need to figure out how to stuff 35 paper Christmas gift bags into one tiny wrapping paper storage box. There’s also a little bit of sadness when a really cute gift bag that you found gets torn […]
Love Love Love this idea, I may also use it for making “ice cream” and sorbets for the kids to beat the summer heat since we just got an ice cream maker!!
I’m hoping my kids will eat the green machine ones. They refuse to drink it because it’s green but I keep telling them it’s sweet and really good. Hopefully if I disguise it as a popsicle they’ll fall for it.
Good idea! My kids’ favorite Popsicle is watermelon–I just chop up seedless watermelon and put it in the blender and then pour the juice into the molds. But that is more work than I really like, so I will have to try this.
Oh my goodness, this is genius. Can’t wait to try it. Where do you get the popsicle molds? Is there a particular one that works the best i.e. not sticking when you pull on the pop?
I got those molds at Walmart last year. I know there’s some great professional looking molds that aren’t that expensive on amazon.com that you can just add your own popsicle sticks to.
I have popsicle molds shaped like bugs, they have a wider shape so more fruit fits easily into them. The set is 6 but I like that I can make just two at a time so I use up any fruit that might spoil otherwise.
My most recent favorite recipe sliced fruit nearly filling the mold, and up to 2 TBLS Santa Cruz Raspberry Lemonade. The last batch I made was 9-10 medium to large sized strawberries, sliced in an eggslicer, put 1/2 into each popsicle mold then add the lemonade to just near the top. Place in the handle and freeze. 36 calories, 8g carb. , 7/8 g. sugar.
