Friday Favorites- My ZOKU

Have you ever heard of a ZOKU maker? I hadn't until I got one for my birthday. My mom went to William Sonoma (one of my favorite stores) and stumbled upon it. She was so excited to give it to me. And I must say, we are in LOVE with it. It is a new favorite in our house. It is a popsicle maker. Not just ANY popsicle maker either. It makes pops before your eyes in 7 minutes. So we've been making pops multiple times a day since I received this. The kids LOVE it. I put fruit on the table with yogurt and juice and everyone gets to make their pop with what they want. And then they stand over the Zoku and watch it freeze. Dessert and snacks have gotten a lot healthier. Here are a few we've tried in the last two weeks. And yes...these are just a few....

Here we are the first time making them....blueberries, raspberries, orange juice, and pina colada yogurt.

See all that fruit in there?? Did I mention it took 7 minutes to freeze???

The next one is made with chocolate milk, bananas, and strawberries...and for a few of them, I added coconut.

This one is strawberry milk and chocolate milk and it was yummy:

And Chocolate milk with yogurt and strawberries:

Strawberry yogurt, Naked Juice Mango Wellness, and Raspberry juice. Definitely a hit:

And my favorite so far, pureed watermelon with lemonade and lime juice:

I have made all sorts of creations in this thing. Frank bought a Bolthouse Farms coffee protein drink and it made a delicious afternoon snack.

My mom also gave me a Popsicle recipe book, and lets just say I have list of pops I want to make.

So....does this post make you want a Zoku? Trust me, it's worth every penny. If you want to see how they are made, you can see the video on the William-Sonoma site here.
