7 Must-Try Zoku Pops Recipes

Store-bought popsicles … They’re expensive and high in sugar-content. They also have ingredients we cannot pronounce and do not want to feed our kids. Ditch them this summer!

Below are seven must-try natural popsicle recipes for YOU and your family to try out this year instead.

7 Must-Try Zoku Pops Recipes *These all sound AMAZING. Saving this for later.

I admit, despite wanting to make homemade popsicles, ours always seemed to fall short. The scientist in me needed to know why.

It turns out, the critical factor is T I M E. The main difference between a store bought popsicle and what we make at home is the SIZE of the crystals in the frozen product. The faster something freezes, the smaller the crystals are. The smaller the crystals, the finer the texture. It’s simply not possible to get that texture with a tradtional mold at home!

Enter Zoku. Have you heard of this amazing little piece of kitchen technology? It makes popsicles in 7-minutes flat, no electricity required (remember, faster freezing means better texture!).
