Easy Summer Treat and a Coupon!

Do you ever feel like life is going so fast you just can't seem to get anywhere?  That is so how I feel lately.  I have a million and one projects/chores/things that need to get done and I just can't seem to find the time to do any of them.  Of course right now a lot of that is because the kids are out of school for the summer and take up a lot more of my time and attention (as they should) so projects and messy house be damned... I got little ones to entertain!  I just wanted to share with you a crazy delish and SUPER easy summer treat we made.  I had some coupons (another new project of mine, I'm trying to learn how to be a couponer!) for the new Fruit and Protein drinks from Silk so I bought them to give em a try.  The kids did enjoy drinking them but we thought they were so sweet they reminded us of popsicles so we decided to freeze some and see what happened.  Well what happened was a frozen pop of YUM!

So run out and grab yourself some, there are a couple of different flavors, pour into your popsicle molds and ENJOY!

You can even get a coupon yourself from the link above, right at the top of Silk's page it says "coupon" just follow the links, click, print and save!!

Popsicle Wars! Vegan Popsicles

We've been Popsicle crazy around here!  I bought some Popsicle molds last week so I figured I better put something in them!

There are so many different kinds of pop molds available out there!  The Rocket Pop ones are awesome!  I want to get a set of those soon! 



So far we have made watermelon and pineapple pops.  They are both delish the watermelon is very refreshing and the pineapple ones are just decadent!

They take only minutes to prepare, the hard part is waiting for them to freeze up!

1/2 cup agave or sugar (use less agave than you would sugar)

Popsicle Wars!

 

I these are lots of fun to make, ZERO artificial flavors or colors, no HFC or other crap that is in most store bought Popsicles.

I have a cantaloupe that needs to get used if I don't decide to eat it for lunch I may make cantaloupe pops!  I also might experiment with decreasing the sweeteners in them, they are fabulous as is but I wonder if we would even notice if I reduce or cut out the sweeteners?  I'll let you know!

What are your favorite popsicle flavors?
