Summertime Fun: Make Your Own Popsicles!

Popsicles, yum!

Popsicles, yum!

Summertime’s here–hooray! That means BBQs, swimming pools, sand castles and sweet treats to cool you down! Did you know you can save money at the grocery store–or the ice cream truck–by making your own popsicles? Not only are they cheap treats, but they’re fun to make with the whole family.

Perform a quick internet search for ‘popsicle molds’ and you’ll find a slew of options. Choose from the tried and true Rocket Shape form as well as more modern options. Once you have your popsicle molds, you’re ready to start making your sweet treats! You can use fresh or concentrated juice, fresh fruit or yogurt. I usually stick with the old-school lemonade or OJ version, but you can whip up all kinds of creative combos: peaches and cream, triple berry, strawberry banana….you get the picture!

Check out this site for more details and recipes to make your own sweet treats!

Or, if you’re too busy to make your own popsicles, try this quick tip for your next get-together:

Simply throw fruit chunks and/or fresh mint leaves along with a splash of water into regular (or fun-shaped) ice cube trays. The elegant and tasty ice cubes will surely ‘fancy up’ a regular old glass of sparkling water!
