5 Popsicles Your Kids Will Love

What brings back childhood like a popsicle? My kids love them no matter what the weather, and I love them because they are so easy. This past week, I have been playing around with flavors and came up with some tasty ones. Here are 5 recipes for popsicles that are based on Jello as the base, so they wont melt.
Jello is a tasty, yet frugal pantry food. It keeps indefinitely, costs mere pennies a box (go with generic or even bulk if you can find it) and comes in weird flavors that are super fun. 
Cantaloupe Melon 
Melon Blast Jello, combined with cantaloupe pieces
Watermelon Lemon zest
Watermelon Jello with lemon zest - You may think your kids wont eat it, but mine were raving about  it! 
Cherry Vanilla 
Cherry Jello, mixed with just enough vanilla yogurt to make it rich
Strawberry Lime
Lime Jello and strawberry puree
Pineapple Orange
Orange Jello mixed with Pineapple puree. The pineapple never freezes completely, so it makes a fun texture.

Great ideas.  Using sugar free Jello will make this an ideal treat for kids and their weight conscious mothers.  Thanks for the inspiration!
