I love leftovers.
Finding creative ways to spice up leftover food is one of my specialties. And lately when I have leftover drinks I’ve been turning them into low calorie desserts!
Bust out the popsicle molds and let’s get started…
- Got leftover coffee? Mix it with a little almond or coconut milk, cocoa powder, and stevia, pour into popsicle molds and freeze! You’ll have a frappuccino fudgsicle in no time!
- Got leftover lemonade? Add a squeeze of lemon juice and stevia, pour into popsicle molds and freeze! Low-cal lemon drop coming right up!
- Got leftover fruit juice? Or fruit that’s just about to go bad? Briefly blend, sweeten with stevia or honey if needed, pour into popsicle molds and freeze! Bring on the berry good brain freeze!
The popsicle possibilities are endless!
These simple and affordable solutions have been helping me cure my afternoon and evening sweet tooth all summer long. If you don’t have popsicle molds ice cube trays or paper cups with chopsticks for handles will do! And to catch drips slide a cupcake liner through your popsicle stick and you’re good to go.
Now I really must go save my morning coffee before it’s too latte!

July 26th 2010I freeze everything around here in the summer…and now the husband is following suit which cracks me up
he and the child made watermelon “ice cubes” last night—today we shall see if they are a thumbs up or thumbs down according to the 4 year olds taste test :)

MrsFatass says:
July 26th 2010I like to do the coffee thing in my ice trays, then use the coffee cubes to make iced coffee. Yes. Cold things in 100 degree heat make me happy.

July 26th 2010I never think to make Popsicles. You’d think that’d be at the top of the list during the summer too.

July 26th 2010I love making popsicles. I just need better popsicle molds as mine never turn out right. Maybe there’s a trick to them that I’m missing?

July 26th 2010Aren’t popsicle molds fantastic?! I love them! Your ideas are fabulous, and I want to try the coffee and almond milk one. I have been slacking on my summer popsicle creations this year.
