Homemade popsicle Wednesday! Summer fun

It has been quite a week here in my home with some news that has left our family in a bit of shock and still trying to process. As I process I am sure I will share more but for now I thought I would share ONE small way I am making summer time with kiddos fun. They picked the day I picked the idea!

Feel free to join us in the fun!!!

Every Wednesday a new homemade popsicle at our house.

Makes: 4 pops

Ingredients

1 cup mashed strawberries

1/2 cup water

1 tbs sugar (original recipe had 4 to 5 tbs)

Juice of half lime or lemon

Here is our version and thoughts on the Banana pops:

The best advice was to freeze the bananas on the stick for 30 min to an hour before. It helped especially for the kids not to get as messy because the banana was so cold it hardened the chocolate right away. 

They were tasty and messy!! 

Another idea is to roll the banana pops in nuts. 

Summer has begun and again our balcony is such a big help to us!

We would love to have you join us in our popsicle making craze this summer!

Using what we have to create and today it is the freezer and some fruit!
