Pop-Ice popsicles

The ones in the plastic and you cut the top.. anyone know if they're safe for pa/tna?

Eaten them for years--though only about once a summer because they are colored sugar.

We eat anything manufactured by Jel-Sert.

last summer I bought a lot of 300 'popice sleeves' to make my own pop-ice with my niece & nephew. Can do fruit juice, yogurt/fruit, smoothie, coffee-frappe type...so good!

But of a pain to find the sleeves, which is why I bought 300. Made some for a party too that were a hit!

They were like these: http://www.amazon.com/icecandybags-com-Ice-Candy-Bags-100-Piece/dp/B007V79B6Y

so easy to make once you get the hang of how to do it so they don't spill all over

That's interesting!! ^^^

I'm not a fan of fruit.. at all.. what flavors did you use?

And now that I know people use Pop Ice.. I forsee a full freezer soon.. not  always the best (read: cleanest) option with 5 kids lol.

I was doing all kinds of recipes I  found online --- "gourmet popsicle" and 'homemade popsicle' --- some homemade fudgsicles were the best!

Some I remember:
Fresh strawberries and vanilla yogurt
Blueberry puree w/ real lemonade
Blueberries and yogurt
Banana and yogurt
cranberry pomegranate juice
orange juice and vanilla yogurt

They makes some plastic sleeves with a zipper close.


There are also reusable silicone popsicle sleeves with a lid.

McC, read the reviews on the Zolu PPP maker.  We had one and the liquid inside leaked after very few uses.  I just googled and saw many comments telling the same story.  They are pricey to break so quickly.

We have had good luck with their slushy cups.

[hezzier]

We had one leak, and they replaced it.  You are supposed to store them upright.

Maybe I should contact them, but have no receipts left.  Might have been on its side to fit in the freezer. 

[hezzier]

I didn't have a receipt, but maybe gave them a number on the bottom of it.  Can't remember the details.
