Here at the Crews-Finnegan abode, we’re a mostly sugar-free household, so I’m always on the lookout for ways to make snacks that also satisfy the sweet tooth. Entrez le Zipzicle<\/a>!<\/p>\n

These nifty little plastic pouches\u00a0can be used to make healthy, all natural, sugar free ice pops & other frozen treats. But let’s be honest, the way I found out about them was for boozing. My niece (Technically, my ex-niece-in-law but who’s counting and how annoying is that to type out?) posted on Facebook about how she was enjoying some potent margarita ice pops. I babysat this chick and she’s<\/em> having all the fun? Nuh uh. This will not<\/em> stand.<\/p>\n

I decided to make my own. But how? A quick Google search led me to find\u00a0Zipzicles<\/a>.\u00a0I can make my own boozy ice pops AND healthy snacks? Sign me up!\u00a0I can’t even stand how clever they are.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I’ve actually tried making healthy, non-boozy popsicles before using plastic popsicle makers but they always crack (see photo of my 3rd & final popsicle making contraption below), take up cabinet space & the pops themselves are too big. I’m usually sick of eating it before I’m 1\/2 way done & waste a lot. So, I was excited to have another way to make all the recipes I have saved in my kitchen drawer.\u00a0The Zipzicle site has a short list of recipes to try, too, but a simple search for popsicle recipes yields a ton more.<\/p>\n

So far, I’ve made & enjoyed frozen margaritas (interesting that they didn’t freeze 100%…I guess tequila has a different freeze point?) and tangy blueberry pops<\/a>, both pictured below and both worthy of making again.<\/p>\n

Next up we’re going to make Orange Dreamzicles<\/a>, Strawberry Shortcake Greek Yogurt pops<\/a>, and\u00a0Fudgesicles<\/a>. Lord knows we’ve eaten our way through enough store-bought Fudgesicles to make a hut made of leftover sticks.<\/p>\n

The only improvement I would make to the design is to have a tad more plastic above the zip so our fat fingers can open them a little easier. That’s nitpicking, though, because they are nifty little suckers. Best part? After eating half of the tangy blueberry pop, I was done. Rather than have to pitch the rest, I simply zipped it back up and put in the freezer to eat later. I was able to rinse out and reuse all the Zipzicles twice now, so the $2.99 price for 12 packets ends up going a long way.<\/p>\n
