We’re still busy working away filming our television pilot so my girl, Shell, one of my favorite blogger on this planet, has graciously agreed to entertain you all in my absence.  Shell came all the way over from her own super busy blog Things I Cant Say to hang out with me today.  It’s kind of big deal.  I liken it to sitting at the popular kids table in the cafeteria.  I’m all aflutter.  I hope milk doesn’t come out of my nose…I think I might have to change my outfit.

I am convinced that Alex and I live parallel lives. Our boys, experiences that we’ve had, even our personalities.

But, she is the more gifted in the kitchen. Me, I steal her recipes and she lets me pass them off as my own.

So, when she asked me to guest post over here, I felt a little intimidated, though always willing to help my twin out.

She told me not to worry, that I didn’t have to try to fill her shoes…which is good, since I can’t!

But, I did start thinking of summer treats and memories from my childhood.

You see, we didn’t have any sugar growing up. None. Like, not even plain Cheerios because there was one gram of sugar per serving.

But, we still wanted treats, just like any other kids. We saw other kids with popsicles and we wanted some, too.

So, Mom made her own.

Either we had fruit juice ones- as simple as it sounds- pour 100% fruit juice into popsicle molds or for a treat, we had orange cream ones.

Not the ones that you are thinking of, with the orange outside and the ice cream in the middle- but these are a healthy alternative.

You’re not exactly going to fool your kids into thinking that these are the same as those yummy treats….but you might luck out and have them like them anyway!

Combine 16oz yogurt (plain or vanilla- though my mom made her own) and 6oz of frozen orange juice concentrate. Stir well, pour into Popsicle molds, freeze, and there ya go!

What do you think, Ma/my twin? Are you going to try this?

What are your healthy treats for summer?
