Incredible!	These are very easy to make and yummy! I used the Triple Berry blend from Sam's and a Banana... very good.. would rather use that fruit with this rather than drinking up the little seeds in a smoothie! Can't wait to see which fruit to use next!	Submitted by: CHICKS1123 (5/1/09)

	I am going to try adding a little ginger next time..but they are great as is. Oh I used stevia in it instead of more sugar. Tart blueberries made my mouth pucker.	Submitted by: MAKERSGIRL (8/9/08)

Very Good	very easy to make, if you have a blender and dixie cups, and something to use for popsicle sticks (I didn't have any so I substituted by breaking shish-kabob stickes in half and using both halves) Strawberries make a tasty pop.	Submitted by: SARAHB1012 (7/5/08)

Incredible!	I used frozen strawberries & peaches and a very ripe banana because that is what I had on hand. It was excellent. With most of the fruit being frozen, I did have to add a bit more water to be able to blend it, but it worked great and tasted great.	Submitted by: SONDRAELLIOTT (4/16/08)

	No more store bought for me! Yummy and so good for us! I used a little agave and will try stevia next time. Will also try no sugar at all if the fruit is sweet enough. What a great way to 'cheat' without using all my calories :~)	Submitted by: HERBLADIE (6/8/09)
