Making My Own Icy Cold Beauty Popsicles



 




















A couple of days back, I was shopping at Daiso and saw a cute pastel-coloured ice pop maker, bought it (an unintentional purchase though!) came home and played with it ....and  WoOLala... here I have it, my first Icy Cold Beauty Popsicle! - from fresh Orange Juice which is loaded with vitamins. Orange juice is known to contain a high percentage of Vitamin C, which is helpful in boosting the immune system. It also contains Folate, which plays a major role in the reproduction of new skin and blood cells, and can aid in the healing process.

This pure orange popsicle is healthy, low in calories, without added sugar or preservatives as compared to the mass produced ice cream sold at supermarkets.


Interested to make your own Beauty Popsicles too? Very simple to make and these are 2 things you will need...



1) $2 Ice Pop Maker (Reusable) from Daiso (You can also use plastic cups and ice cream sticks)





2) Your Preferred Choice Of Juice(s).. Besides Orange juice, you can use any juices you like or can think of - like cranberry juice, carrot juice, celery juice, mixed fruit juice, watermelon juice, strawberry juice, kiwi juice, apple juice, papaya milk, banana milk, tomato juice, lemon with honey...basically there are endless of choices for everyone. and besides juices, you can even add in small cubes of the fruit itself into the making...


Yes very easy to make without much stuffs needed...
Just 2 tips to share:

  • Try to fill the juice to the brim of each popsicle's compartment so that the frozen ice will sit nicely at the base of the plastic stick when you pull it out.

  • It may be a bit difficult to pull out the frozen ice from the compartment, try to move the stick in left-right movements to loosen the frozen ice before pulling it out. If its still difficult to pull the whole popsicle out from the compartment, pour water to the back of the maker (as shown in the above instructions guide) and try to pull the stick out again.. You should be able to get a nice popsicle shaped like an ice cream as shown in the picture.
Have fun making your own icy cold Beauty Popsicles for yourselves and your loved ones.. Ya, I think the kids will love them too..


I am thinking of making red bean and bandung popsicles next..

So what flavours of popsicles are you thinking of making?

Ya, I also tried using ribena... basically can add anything you can think of..Wow if I use real thick mango juice with mango bits, it should be yummy too..

Today I went to buy my 2nd ice pop maker from Daiso, seem I managed to make 'Xiang Yang" popsicles from my first few attempts..I was thinking if I cook red bean soup, I can use the remaining soup to make 8 red bean ice cream instead of just 4..haha
