Who doesn’t like a popsicle on a hot summer day?  These are so easy, healthy and fun for the kids. You simply mix a few ingredients together, pour in a mold and freeze.  For the container or molds you can you something as simple as a cup for the mold and a plastic spoon in a pinch for the handle.  For $12-16 you can purchase reusable premade molds and sticks from Tovolo. There are also devices that will freeze your concoction in much less time (Zoku Quick Pop Maker at Williams- Sonoma).
