Frosty Way To Get Vitamin C
Store bought popsicles might taste great but you're basically sucking on almost PURE sugar with a trace of fruit flavoring. Even those treats claiming to be chock-full of vitamin C generally have less C in them than what you can get from just one section of an orange. So why not have the best of both worlds - enjoy something that tastes great BUT is also actually good for you!
Making home-made popsicles is really VERY easy and all you need is a blender, some popsicle molds (available at department stores or kitchen supply stores) or you can even use paper cups or ice cube trays. You'll also need some popsicle sticks, which you can pick up at any craft store.
Choose the fruit you like and it's best to use VERY ripe fruit because it is sweeter. Puree the fruit and pour into molds, insert the sticks, and freeze, usually for overnight or at least 4 to 6 hours.
The fruit combos are endless but here are a few combos that work great:
*2 mangos, 1/4 cup carrot baby food, and 3/4 cup orange juice
OR
*3 kiwis, 12 small strawberries, and 2 bananas.
You choose what tickles your tastebuds and let the fun begin. This is a VERY big adventure for kids to be included in on - as my grand-daughters will testify!!!
