Popsicles

Here is are some that my children love. Orange Julius Get frozen orange juice NO PULP (ick). Mix it half and half with MILK not water. Then pour it into your Popsicle thingy and freeze... YUM freeze or drink. Sunrise A variation of this is to use frozen cranberry juice in it too. Juice 2/3 orange juice, 1/3 cranberry....mix with equal amounts of milk. and freeze or drink. Purple Cow Mix frozen purple grape juice half and half with milk. Freeze or drink. The best Popsicles are the ones where you mix frozen juice with milk...They are creamier and tastier. Try other juices with milk...Just don't try apple (that is NOT a good combination) lol Try them out see if u like em.

I have not made popsicles from a recipe, when I was a child my mother used to have the plastic molds and use fruit juices. Actually about a month ago, I decided to put grape juice in my ice trays, I did not have any sticks though, but when they were frozen, they were a tasty little special treat. I think I may try your popsicle recipe. Popsicles are so refreshing if the weather is hot. I usually do not eat them in the winter months.

I'd love to see the recipies you've tried. Never really thought about even making them on my own. We usually just buy the cheapie for the kids. As I can't see buying the more expensive tastier ones to watch them melt on the floor half eaten KWIM?

Homemade popsicles are great! Generally more nutritious than commercial treats and cheaper, too! Though the greatest commercial popsicle ever made, in my opinion, was the Jello Pudding Pop. Drool! Maybe adding some small slices of fruit, like strawberries or peaches to the popsicles before freezing might be something new to try. :-)
