Simple money-savers

October 15, 2011 by fabfrugalmama

My oldest loves popsicles. It doesn’t matter what time of year, be it hot or cold outside, she just LOOOOVES them! I don’t mind my kids eating sugar, but everything in moderation. Now, since most popsicles are pure sugar (and artificial colouring, but that’s another story…), I try to get the 100% fruit juice pops at the grocery store. But let me tell you, they are NOT cheap! So, like a lot of moms, I figured I’d make my own, like my mom used to do when I was a kid. But, I was looking for a way to make them actually healthy… another serving or two of fruit. So, while I was blending our morning smoothies the other day, I experimented and came up with this amazing concoction that makes the most delish popsicles. My daughter can’t stop asking for them – and she doesn’t even “like” mango!! 😉
  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
  • orange juice

Blend all three ingredients in a blender (or Magic Bullet – my fave!) and freeze in popsicle molds. Makes approximately 6 popsicles, depending on size of popsicles.

They’re great for teething babies, too! So, find some fab popsicle molds in fun shapes (which, at this time of year, may be on sale – score!) and enjoy. 🙂
