4th of July ~ Patriotic Popsicles!

I LOVE the 4th of July!! I am so proud to be an American and proudly display a waving red, white and blue American flag in the front and back of our home. Independence Day is an amazing day that we usually spend with our family & friends, grilling out and eating yummy foods, and enjoying the summer weather. I think a cold treat treat is perfect for a warm day of being outside. Here's a fun idea your kids can help you make and enjoy eating too:

So cute, right?! And it doesn't get much easier than this! Here's all you need to make these adorable Patriotic Popsicles:

PATRIOTIC POPSICLES:
Ingredients:

• I used Fruit Punch (red), White Cherry (white), and Mountain Berry Blast (Blue) Powerade (but you can use any other kind of colored, flavored drinks your family likes)
• little mini plastic cups
• straws (cut the bendy part off then snip in half)
• your freezer :)

Directions:
Lay out a baking sheet in your freezer so it's flat, and individually fill mini cups about 1/3 of the way full of red colored drink and set on baking sheet in freezer. Let freeze for 30 minutes or so, depending on how cold your freezer gets. When hardened, fill another 1/3 of each cup with the white colored drink. Let freeze for approximately half the time as the red, basically until slushy. Insert the straw into the middle of the white layer and continue to freeze until completely hardened. Then fill the last 1/3 with blue colored drink and let harden. When ready to serve, run bottom of cup under a little warm water and the popsicle will pop right out! ENJOY!!

What does your family like to eat on 4th of July??
