We are shuffling posts around and I think I've finally found the "flow" for weekly posts. Giveaway posts will now be on Thursday until further notice :)
It's time for round two of this fun little series. This week, it's all about popsicles!
Each of these recipes make 1-3 popsicles, depending on size. I didn't want 6 of each, just wanted to sample some fun gourmet popsicle recipes! You can totally adjust each ingredient proportion to taste. Just wing it!
oh, fudge!
(my favorite! makes 4-6 & was adjusted from this recipe)
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 bananas
2.5 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla
combine ingredients in blender & pour into popsicle molds. option: add some peanut butter or chocolate chips.
layered lemonade
blood orange juice
mango lemonade
strawberry lemonade
oj
lemonade
add a splash of one type of juice & freeze for a half to a whole hour before adding next juice. continue until you have achieved desired layers. No, I didn't mean for this to look like candy corn.

1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup strawberry yogurt
1 banana
handful of frozen or fresh berries
(i used blueberries, raspberries, blackberries & strawberries)

1/2 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon coconut torani syrup
1 banana

cherry limeade
pour premade cherry limeade into mold. minute maid & hubert's both make great ones! option: slice two pieces of lime and add to each side for some pizazz.

The popsicle molds I used are from World Market
Popsicle Sticks from Joann using this DIY: Painted Popsicle Stick DIY
For the two smaller popsicles, I used "condiment cups" that can also serve as cupcake liners.















These are awesome! How fun and festive for the summer. Great recipe ideas, too! I'll be back for them!
