If you haven’t noticed; the price for “all natural” fruit popsicles in the grocery store definitely isn’t cheap!  Who says you can’t make your own with some healthy low sugar fruits and calculate the calories yourself?? 

     There are many reasons why making popsicles is a lot more fun than buying them. One, you can use whatever ingredients you have handy, meaning extra summer fruit from the  farmer’s market or backyard, like berries, watermelons, or peaches, needn’t go to waste. Two, you can make them organic, additive-free, and healthy yet tasty, while spending a lot less. Third, you can spike them with booze, something you’re not likely to find in a store. Not for the kids of course, but for a patio party or a barbecue, a popsicle with a little kick can’t be beat (source).

   From a health perspective… don’t spike them with booze!  To make this recipe even better add some sort of milk for a creamy popsicle.  If you don’t drink milk then add rice milk for the creamy flavor.  Using these popsicles at night could actually keep you from snacking on forbidden food and help you to lose weight in the long run.
