This summer, one of our new adventures has been making homemade popsicles. Once we removed food dye from our diet, I realized how many popsicles/ice cream treats contained food dye. I started to feel bad that Isaac and Emma wouldn't get to eat popsicles...until I started looking at homemade popsicle recipes! I found so many delicious recipes that I know my kids won't miss out by not eating store-bought popsicles. :)
Isaac is a great kitchen helper and helped me mix up a new batch of Orange Creamsicles this afternoon.

Orange Creamsicle recipe found here on Oven Love. We used Trader Joe's coconut cream in place of half and half/vanilla ice cream and also added the juice from half of a fresh orange. Yum!
Homemade Fudgesicle recipe found here on Recipe Boy. I made these just as the recipe says, and they are absolutely amazing. To be honest, I drank half of the mixture before even freezing it! It tastes exactly like Chantico that Starbucks used to make. As you can see, everyone else liked them as much as I did, too!
The first recipe I made this summer was Strawberry Basil Popsicles (recipe found here on Sunny Vegan). Dave wasn't quite sure about these popsicles, but Isaac and I thought they were great. Isaac made me laugh when he asked, "But why are there all these leaves (basil) in here?"
Happy Popsicle-making! And, if you have any other popsicle recipes, we'd love to try them!
Fresh (or canned) pineapple + 1 can (or more) coconut milk. Blend until smooth and freeze as usual. The natural sweetness from the pineapple is great!
