I really want to make some at home for my DD’s party next weekend. What do I need? Please share your recipes?

He just puts low-fat fruit yogurt in them and freezes them into frozen yogurt popsicles. They're not as sweet when frozen, but at least it's still healthy.

A couple of years ago I pureed watermelon and added a little lime juice. I froze them in Dixie cups with some sort of Popsicle type stick sticking out of them.

You can also just use ice trays and toothpicks.

Yogurt and fruit juices (not mixed together!) with pieces of fruit are among our favorites.

My kids current favorite is taking a bottle of the Trader Joes Strawberry Lemonade (the beverage) and pour it into popsicle molds from Target.

I have some good molds from BBBY - $3 for a four pack - there are tons of plastic trays you can buy or just do the paper cup with a stick route.

My favorite is to just freeze the super juice smoothies like Green Machine. My kids don't like to drink them, but the thickness makes great popsicles.

I have a really yummy popsicle recipe but it is in no way healthy. :)

1 package kool-aid
1 package jell-o (either same flavor as kool-aid or something complementary, just watch that the colors won't mix together to be gross)
1 cup sugar
2 cups boiling water

Mix all together, pour into molds, and freeze.

Plain stoneyfield yogurt, pureed fruit and flax seed. The kid thinks they are the best treat ever. If only she knew they had less sugar than her regular stoneyfield flavored yogurt.

Someone just got us those as a gift! I am going to watch this thread and make some pops :)

We've done pear juice (from canned pears in juice, not heavy syrup) and apple juice pops.
