I’m so happy about this post. I’ve been scratching my head for healthy snack ideas, and until now we’d always offered pops as treats. Can’t wait to try these out.

Hi Kjesti! Hoping to see your sister this summer ; )

Not sure why the pudding didn’t work — another friend asked that same question, so it’s worth knowing. It could actually be the sugar content (or lack thereof) — or something about the process used to make the pudding a pudding (I’m assuming you were talking about a boxed version?). When making ice cream or sorbet, the sugar content is very important; and although you can use less sugar if you’re freezing as ice pops, it makes me think that there is a necessary balance of ingredients for things to freeze properly. Worth looking into… (meaning me, sometime after we move).

Thanks, Holly. Having luck would mean I stay somewhat sane.

My sister, Cherith Johnson, just introduced me to your blog since she is probably sick of talking about food with me I love making popsicles for my three little boys. I tend to just pour smoothies into my Tovolo popsicle makers (the star ones stick less than the rocketship ones). I use frozen fruit and leftover bananas with greek yogurt and a bit of agave. My girlfriends tell me that you can add raw spinach without any ill-effects but I’ve yet to venture out on that one. Seems anything frozen is loved by the little ones. I’m going to try the chocolate-coconut recipes. I tried sugar-free chocolate jello pudding last week, but they were not a big success?? Don’t know why.

And then I came along and you were blissfully united in your mutual dislike for me. And my singing. And my sitting too close to you in the car. (“MOM!!! She’s TOUCHING me!!!!!!!!!)

I guess I was figuring we didn’t actually start arguing until we could talk and reason?

MMmmmmm! I might have to make those chocolate coconut ones today…since its suppose to be warm this weekend. BTW, I bought molds at IKEA which have worked fine…but I do have to do the warm water thing. Ever tried pudding pops? Now Im going to obsess about ingredient options!

Seems a lot longer than that to me! At least you never got to fisticuffs (that I am aware of).
