Kids go through popsicles in the summer months almost as quickly as water can run from your faucet. Sure, you can buy the 100 pops in a box, but you can also save money and make healthier popsicles easily at home.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Juice
Jello
Pudding
Fruit

Step 1

Using an ice cube tray or popsicle form, pour fruit juice into each mold and place in your freezer.
Step 2

Vary your popsicles by using diced fruit in your molds. Put the fruit in when your pops are in the slush phase of freezing or in the beginning of freezing if you don't care about placement.
Step 3

Use Jello or pudding to make pops and add fruit or chocolate chips for variety. Mix your Jello or pudding mixture and pour into molds. Add fruit as mentioned previously.
Step 4

Mix fruit juice, pudding or Jello in a blender with diced fruit to create a puree. Pour into molds for a variation of a fruit pop.
Step 5

Regardless of which popsicle style you choose add a popsicle stick or toothpick when the popsicle begins to freeze. Or place mixtures in small dixie cups to make a frozen treat that can be eaten with a spoon.
