My children LOVE popsicles. Nothing beats a nice cool popsicle to beat the summer heat! Take a look at some homemade popsicle recipes that you will just love...and so will the kids!
Before we get into the recipes, you may be thinking, "I don't have popsicle molds!" No worries! Here are a few other ideas that you can use that will save you some money and you may already have some of these items at home!
Liveatlearn.com shows how to make popsicles out of a loaf pan! Just line your loaf pan with plastic wrap, pour in your popsicle filling, cover with aluminum foil, insert sticks, freeze and cut into popsicles!
You can also use small (3-4 oz) paper cups, muffin wraps and a muffin tin to make these delicious treats. Once you put in the popsicle filling, you can cover with foil or plastic wrap and insert the stick. After they are frozen, you can just peel off the cup.

My co-worker, Amy, has watched my children for many, many years (what an awesome friend she is....for many reasons!). Anyways, one of the treats she gives my three kiddos are homemade fudgesicles. Simple, delicious and a favorite with my children.

Hidden Veggie Popsicles
(Let's be honest, most kids don't like their veggies! Here is a great way to get them to eat them!)
Place your frozen mango into a blender. Next, add the carrot juice. (If you’re unable to find straight carrot juice or make your own, you can substitute this out for a natural veggie blend that contains carrots.) Then, pour in the orange juice. Mix in the frozen pineapple and blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour the mixture into the popsicle molds and place them into the freezer for at least a few hours, up to overnight.
