I know I probably shouldn't be thinking popsicles when it's still winter here... but I do love a good frozen treat. Trouble is, have you seen all the things that are IN most ice creams and popsicles? I can barely find any with just whole fruit or fruit juices. 
So I was thrilled to get to review the Zoku Quick Pop Maker!
I've tried making yogurt pops with and without fruit, double-flavored, and with faces. And I've tried 100% fruit juice pops, which you can get really creative with making stripes and other designs! Check out this strawberry yogurt pop with fresh strawberries embedded - doesn't it look like a heart (sorta?)? Perfect for a party or shower!
The Zoku is so easy to use - really! You just freeze it for 24 hours, then put the sticks in, pour in your pop juice or yogurt (even make soda pops!) and wait. About 7-9 minutes later you have perfect pops (clearly I still need to watch my fill line!). You can do about 3 rounds before the pop maker thaws (less if you're making fancy stuff!). You can use your imagination to make unique pops, mixing and matching colors and flavors - even chocolate dipping the pops! My favorite part, of course, is now I can make organic popsicles because I choose the juices and yogurts I use!
I also tried out the Zoku Character Kit, which adds a whole new dimension of fun. Okay, now this accessory takes some practice. I love cutting the shapes out of thinly sliced fruit, but I keep having a hard time not bumping the wall of the pop maker when I slide them in... so my faces generally don't end up where I want them too! Here's one face I tried to make... it didn't turn out great for a photo!
But I am still practicing, and it will be so fun when I get to this level:
What flavor popsicle would you make?

I so wish I could get my little guy into popsicles or some kind of treat that was cold. Maybe just a frozen yogurt pop or frozen milk may do the trick. Then if I added a face he may really embrace it. Our daughter will eat anything.
The technology sounds so cool - pardon the pun. I may have to add one of these to my wish list.
You did a great job on this review. I was actually not the least bit interested until I started to read and then hear about your experiences - then my interest was peaked and suddenly I found myself thinking up ways of using the device and then saying, "Hmmm, I may need to get one of these." Well done.

The strawberry one looks delicious! We have a cheapo popsicle that we don't use because it's missing pieces and they're difficult for a toddler to hold. Those handles are my favorite part! When I started out I'd make them with fresh juices, maybe a little carrot juice, some apple. They came out pretty good but icy, not creamy looking like these so I'm going to try that yogurt strawberry.
