Zoku=My new obsession! This contraption is the coolest, most efficient, fast-working popsicle maker I’ve ever seen. Seriously it will freeze and make a pop in less than 10 minutes. But that’s not the best part. You can make pops with yogurt, granola, whole pieces of fruit – literally the possibilities are endless! It’s so tempting to eat fatty ice cream come summertime (and don’t get me wrong I give into temptation plenty…), but the Zoku makes making a healthy snack a lot more appealing. Plus if you’re juice cleansing, this is an easy, quick way to turn your liquid, solid without “cheating.” Jump for some recipes and giveaway details!
