Cool off with Homemade Popsicles

These look delicious,and thanks for the link to the popsicle molds!

Sounds yummy. I bought popsicle molds a few months ago, but didn’t even think about checking if they were BPA free!

I will definitely have to try these!

I have been looking for BPA popsicle molds. I’m sure my cheapies are BPA filled. Too bad those ones you recommended won’t ship to Canada! Argh!

Tiffany, I have been looking for molds. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh, do you want to share your green smoothie recipe? We eat smoothies everyday, and I am curious about your green recipe.

Her eis my green smoothie recipe:

Thanks for the recipe. It sounds yummy. Can’t wait to try it!

Thanks for the recipes. You should try adding coconut oil too. So healthy and good for you and give smoothies such a yummy tropical taste. Would be great in a popsicle. Now I want to try it!!! :)

My mom used to make us homemade lemonade popsicles, which were the absolute best growing up on a hot summer day!

So what’s the recipe for your spinach popsicles?

mmmm I love me some popcicles. I shudder to think at all the artificial junk I ate in those boxes of brightly colored ones from the store.

These look wonderful! I think I need to buy a popsicle tray.

question about the kale recipe – do you cook the kale first?

thanks!

one more question :-)

do any of the pop molds you recommend have caps that can be put back on if the kid doesn’t finish the pop?

and while I’m asking, do you recommend any bpa free ice cube trays (preferably inexpensive)?

Michelle,

I do not cook the Kale…we like to keep the nutritional value in tact by eating it raw.

As for putting the caps back on…I do not know. The ones we have do not allow for this.

awesome. i was looking for bpa free pop molds.

cheers,

Do you know of any safe ice cube trays? I’m making homemade food for my baby but don’t know of a safe ice cube tray to freeze the food in. (bpa free, phthalate free, etc)

Check out http://www.thetickletrunk.com they are getting stainless steel icecube trays, available in March. There is a photo on the site. They also carry great stainless steel bottles and airtight containers at 1/2 the price of other websites. And Popsicle molds are coming, no ETA. Its worth bookmarking.

I used the Tovolo silicone ice cube trays for my son’s food. Perfect size and the food came out so easily.

Did I find this site too late to get the green smoothie recipe? I tried the link but only saw half of the recipe.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the links, i’ve got a cheap dollar store popsicle tray right now and have only used it a few times but I am shopping around for a BPA brand right now as well. I will definatly pick up one of these.

Thanks also for the recipe i’m always looking for healthy popsicle recipes for the little ones. I refuse to buy the ones from the store.

Take care

Thanks for the links and the great recipes! I have a 16 month old who LOVES my homemade smoothie and I know he would love them in popsicle form too. Adding Greens is a FABULOUS idea. Do you think these pop molds would work for a toddler?

Dear Tiffany,

Thanks for finding BPA free popsicle molds. As a widower with 2 little ones, 6 and 4, I appreciate you’re doing the research for me and many other parents.

Regards,
Michael

Are you positive the Tovolo molds are BPA free? It doesn’t say it on the box?

Thank you!

does anyone know of a recipe for licorice popsicles? Used to get them as a kid but haven’t seen for years! They are white in color but taste like licorice
