A Healthy Treat IF You Want It To Be

I know it has been a while since I posted a new blog. Forgive me. Between the holidays and a new job, I just haven't made it a priority.  But today as I was putting away the Christmas gifts, I thought I would share one of my favorites.  Our Elf on the Shelf Buddy left a gift for EML that will without a doubt provide countless treats for both of my daughters.

This gift, a Zoku Quick Pop Maker, has quickly become one of the stars of Christmas.  So what is the quick pop maker? It is a must-have kitchen gadget that allows you to make popsicles from your own ingredients in 7 minutes! And you don't even need to plug it in.  You just keep it in the freezer and pour your ingredients in when you are ready for a treat.  Its a great way to make an appropriately portioned and healthy treat and EML can do it herself.  She just needs a little help to puree the fruit we are using to make the popsicle.  Of course my kids love fruit and they also love things like yogurt but we can make our own recipes using those two favorite ingredients without adding any extra sugar and have fantastic treats!!!  It is easy! It is fun! And it is allowing my girls to be creative.  

While I am not usually crazy about supporting  one specific product but this gift is one I would highly recommend.
