Zipzicles Review and Giveaway: How to Make Healthy Ice Pops
It's popsicle season. I grew up on a steady summer diet of flavor ices. If you grew up in the 80's/90's you know exactly what i'm talking about. Pink was my flavor of choices. Because apparently to a six year old, pink is a flavor. You cut your mouth on that freaking plastic tube bag but continued to eat the ice. And yet I still think about them fondly, which is precisely why when the husband emailed me about Zipzicles I knew I had to share. (Also, yes. We email even though we live in the same house.).
Zipzicles are the sealable bags you need to make your own popsicles at home. You pick the flavor slash color. You pick if you make them boozy, healthy or straight weird. They can be reused (with serious washing) or recycled after a single use. And better yet, they were developed by a kid who wanted to know why there were no popsicles out there NOT filled with artificial coloring. High five to that young man. They are so easy to use.
My goal in making this particular iced popsicle was for it to be healthy and contain a vegetable. This actually contains two because my CSA box is out of control. Let me preface this by saying these are not sweet. They are super gingery which I love, but I do recommend adding a touch of sugar. If you want recipe inspiration, visit their site!
