I’ve been reading a ton about homemade popsicles and I really wanted to try my hand at them with the boys. We received the Zoku Mini Pop Molds a few days before I was set to leave for BlogHer so I started pinning all kinds of delicious-sounding recipes thinking we’d start with those when I got back. However, I returned home with a lack of energy and motivation. Since I didn’t want to go to the grocery store, we sorted through the fruits we already had in the house (apples, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries). The boys decided on strawberry-raspberry popsicles.
Colin washed the berries, James cut the tops off the strawberries and then added both to the food processor. Colin helped scoop the Greek yogurt into the machine. We pureed everything together until it was smooth and creamy looking.
(For this recipe, we used: 8 strawberries, 2 handfuls of raspberries & one (8oz?) container of plain FAGE Greek Yogurt.)
I spooned the mixture in the Zoku Mini Pop Molds (they are much smaller than they seem!) so that it wouldn’t be all over the counter.
About:
Mini Pop Molds lets you create nine mini pops. No need to run under warm water to release – when your pops are frozen, simply pull out your mini pop and enjoy! Mini pops are just the right proportion for small children! The Zoku Mini Pop Molds is great for families, parties, or as an addition to the other Zoku Slow-Pop™ family shapes!
Includes: 1 Mini Pop Mold, 9 sticks with drip guards
I really like that the pops aren’t very big. I also really like that I can control what goes in our pops. I will probably store the pop sticks in a zipper bag, but I could see how we could easily lose one (or more).
All in all, this is definitely a product I’d recommend!
BUY IT! Purchase the Zoku Mini Pop Molds in the Zoku Store or at Amazon.com.

I just saw those in Williams Sonoma this week (while searching for Star Wars cookie cutters). So glad to know that they work…I’ll have to go back!
Oh I love this idea!
Fun and yummy. I agree, the fact that the pops are smaller is really nice. My kids get bored halfway through regular sized popsicles and lollipops – they just want to put them down and play. These seem like the perfect size.
Love these little mini pops, my kids would LOVE them!
Those are SO cute! I would have a lot of fun with one of those makers.
I saw these zoku pop molds at the stores that day! thanks for this review, looks like they are a good buy!!
They look super yummy!
Those are really neat!
Those really are quite tiny which makes them seem much more guilt-free. 🙂
They are VERY tiny! You could make them as guilty or guilt-free as you wanted, though!
HOW CUTE! I love how little these are! Those are perfect for an after school snack.
