Ice Cream Pops For Homemade Dessert Lovers
Why spend so much money on buying expensive ice pop molds when you have empty containers? Start off with your ice pop liquid. It could be fruit juice or you could actually make an ice cream mixture.

Freeze it for a couple of hours and you would have ice pops that are healthy, homemade and inexpensive.
So, next time you enjoy a cup full of yogurt, don’t throw it away. Store it for future projects and small, useful jobs around the house. Do you have any amazing ideas that you already recycle yogurt cups for?
