Savor Summer Day 9: Make Popsicles

[Cafe Kate]

Make your next BBQ (or any afternoon!) cool with homemade popsicles! You can buy plastic popsicle molds, or just use dixie cups and popsicle sticks. Today's challenge is to make homemade popsicles!

These recipes look delicious, but you can also make up your own or mix fruit juices.

• Strawberry-Peach Pops
• Red White & Blueberry Lemonade Pops (perfect for July 4th!)
• Berry Banana Freezer Pops
• Fudgy Banana Pudding Pops

When's the last time you made popsicles? What kind do you think you'll make?

We love to make popsicles.  We usually use fruit juice for ours.

Nice

Quoting christi34:

I like using little styrofoam cups and freezing kool aid in them. But my kids calls them huckabucks. The kids love them and so does my dog.

[Samanthamommy]

yum

Quoting kgmmw:

I don't think I have since my kids were teething, lol

Quoting AdriaD:

I haven't made them in years.  Our children are grown.  Perhaps I will make some when our granddaughter comes up to visit us after the 4th!

[Samanthamommy]

Quoting othermom:

We don't make them often, but we love eating the store bought ones

[Samanthamommy]

yum

Quoting elasmimi:

Mine are not this fancy, but I intend to try the fudgey banana.

[Samanthamommy]

yum

Quoting michiganmom116:

I like to freeze leftover smoothies or else fruit puree.  The last time I made some was last summer.

I like the fudge banana pudding pops idea, but I'll use my own chocolate pudding made with avocado instead of a box mix.

[Samanthamommy]
