retail grocery store items.

These are great for family members that have kids with food allergies. Did you know that over 6 million kids in the United States have food allergies to gluten, eggs, milk, nuts, fish, soy, yeast and so on. Eating healthy can make abig difference in lives of those impacted by these conditions.

How to make ice pops is very manageable. All you need to make homemade ice pops is some healthy food items, juice and a creative mind. The latest style is Silicone ice pop molds. They are BPA-free and FDA approved. Ice Pop Makers can be used to make Ice Pops and Freeze Pops. Here is a ingredients of our family's favorite ice pop:

1 package of chocolate pudding. 1/2 cup mini marshmallows. 1/4 cup chopped peanuts. Mix, fill ice pop molds and freeze overnight.

If you decide to go above and beyond for some excellent looking, amazing tasting and healthy ice pops, here are some ideas for you. And have the kids help you; it will be more fun for everyone:. • Fancy Layers-- Layer ice pops with different layers of yogurt, pudding or gelatin. • Frozen Yogurt pops-- Pick your favor yogurt like strawberry, blueberry, banana, lime orplain, and pour into an ice pop maker. Add some cut up fruit with it to make frozen fruit pops. • Parfait Ice Pops-- Layer any filling with a whipped topping in between. • Party Fun Pops-- Add sprinkles, chocolate chips, marshmallows, nuts or coconut to your frozen treats.

(You can adjust to your taste.) Fill ice pop makers to the top and freeze. Some people compare this to the high dollar Orange tasting drinks youcan get at the mall. • Rocket Pops-- Layer red, then white, then blue Kool-Aid, juice or Jell-O for festivefreeze pops-- like you use to have when you were a kid. • Pina Colada Special-- Whirl pineapple juice, coconut and banana in a blender, then fillthe ice pop molds and freeze upright.
