Low Cal Homemade Popsicles


Personally, I am a fruit-a-holic (and carb-a-holic). I found this recipie for "grown-up" popsicles....let me know what you guys think.


Blend together the fruit, sweetner and added flavor in a blender. Pour into 3 ounce Dixie cups (makes 8 Dixie cups) and insert a craft stick or plastic knife. Freeze 6 hours....then relax and enjoy!
