Frozen Deliciousness

LifeHacker.com addict right here, folks.

These awesome recipes from WiseBread.com (living large on a small budget) are super simple... and sound awesome. Will be making some of these ASAP.

Cool Off With Six Simple DIY Frozen TreatsI'm a fresh fruit junkie, so these will be whipped up first:Frozen fruit bars – These are my favorite, and unfortunately, they are the most costly of all my freezer-case passions. Choosing bars with no sugar or organically-grown will cost you more, so why not make them yourself?

Here is a super recipe from SparkPeople to get you started (you can omit the sugar, add 100% fruit juice to help in the blending process, or substitute organic fruit.) Sticking to one or two kinds of fruit keep them simple and yummy!

* Blend 2 cups cut-up summer fruit (strawberries, peaches, watermelon, etc.) in a blender until smooth.
* Add 1-2 tablespoons water (or juice), if necessary.
* Add 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
* Cover and blend until well mixed.
* Pour into molds and freeze until solid.
Also included on WiseBread's DIY freezer treats: pudding pops, frozen yogurt bars, ice-cream bars, popsicles, and frozen bananas.
