It still amazes me that I have gone the whole summer without buying ANY Popsicles and yet my kids have been eating them all summer long. While the kids across the street run around with sugary Otter Pops my kids have been eating Popsicles that are just as tasty but have no added sugars or food dyes. This week we juiced a 20 pound box of oranges and made frozen OJ pops… we just poured the juice in the molds as it came out of the juicer. They are a hit, just like the pops made from homemade apple juice.
And while they may not be technicolor blue like what the kids across the street have, these are shaped like rockets and MOM made them. That makes them infinitely cooler. Oh and waste free… which is important since the street is littered with Popsicle sticks and plastic wrappers.
Mr. Blue Eyes below LOVES them and will help himself until they are all gone and I have to make more…

I can’t think of an easier treat to make at home and I’m astounded by those who buy freeze pops at the store. But then, they probably also buy bottled water, which makes less sense than anything on the planet.
My kids love organic yogurt frozen in the popsicle molds. Lemon is a favorite in our house, but any flavor will do.
This is the cutest thing I have ever seen!! You make me wanna’ have kids just so I can serve them these popsicles!! :)

Yogurt popsicles! I use to love these when I was a kid and I know my young ones would really like them. Time to go get some tasty yogurt and neat popsicle holders.
My little guys absolutely love these. The one treat they can never have too many of.
I’ve made similar juice pops in the past but never thought of doing this. With today being so warm I think I may have to go make some right now.
