Homemade Popsicles

Since, the weather has gotten warmer I have been craving Popsicles. I haven't made Popsicles since I was a little kid so I thought it would be fun to play around with different flavors. I came up with three flavors: Strawberry Orange Vanilla, Blueberry Lemonade, and Pineapple Orange. So far Strawberry Orange Vanilla is my favorite. The best part is they taste great while still being good for you! Below are the recipes for the three different flavors. I hope you had wonderful Fourth of July yesterday! Happy Friday!
 
Strawberry Orange Vanilla:
1/3 cup Frozen or Fresh Strawberries
1 whole Orange
3 Tbsp of Vanilla yogurt
 
Blueberry Lemonade:
1 peeled Lemon
1/2 cup Blueberries
1 Tbsp of honey
a little water
 
Pineapple Orange:
1/3 cup Frozen or Fresh Pineapple
1 1/2 Oranges
a little water
 
 Directions:
 
1. Blend in a blender until smooth
2. Pour liquid into a small cup
3. Place a wooden Popsicle stick in the middle
4. Place in the freezer to freeze
5. Enjoy!
 
 
Lots of Love,  Natalie

Fruit Infused Cubes

As you know I live in Mississippi which means sizzling Summers. Well, this summer has already gotten very warm. The perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day is with a nice ice cold glass of water. These fruit infused ice cubes allow you to add some color and flavor to your water without the added sugar of fruit drinks. Also, one of the best things is that they are extremely simple to make, just simply cut up whatever fruit you chose and then freeze. These would also be wonderful in summer cocktails. Lime and Mint cubes would be perfect for a light and refreshing Mojito. Enjoy! 


P.S. By the way I am extremely sorry for my absence school got a little crazy but do not worry I am back! I miss y'all! 


Lots of Love,  Natalie
