Summer is in full swing and it’s hot outside. Like most people, I gravitate towards a sweet
treat to help me stay cool: ice cream, frozen yogurt, or my childhood favorite,
the freezie pop. All of these are
delicious and I want to eat all of them.
Right now. All of these are full
of unhealthy fats, sugar, and chemicals. Darn.
But do not despair!
It’s super easy to make you make your own homemade frozen treats,
especially popsicles. I bought a
popsicle mode for $1.50 at a local store.
ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS, PEOPLE!
It has room to make 8 popsicles. Best
money I ever spent. You could also use ice cube trays or Dixie cups.
Now that you got your mold, what flavor should you
make? The possibilities are
endless. My favorite standby is
Strawberries and Cream: put strawberries (fresh or frozen) in a blender with
some milk. Blend until smooth and add
sugar if desired (I don’t). Pour into
your mold and freeze. Bam, in no time, you’re eating popsicles!
Want more ideas?
Bloody Mary Popsicles and Creamy Margarita Popsicles (You
wouldn't need alcohol to make them yummy!)
And, if you’re still undecided, here are 18 more flavors.
If you’re a minimalist, adding lemon or mint to water or
iced tea and making popsicles out of that is an option.
On a side note, I heard this song in a store last week and now,
I can’t stop listening to it. I’ve been
playing it almost constantly for the past 24 hours. I’m sorry I’m not sorry. It even drowns out the noisy neighbor kids!
But anyways, back to the popsicles. Make a ton of popsicles,
crank the music up, and host a Popsicle Palooza! They are cheap and easy to make. They can be relatively healthy too! Your popularity will skyrocket!
