Many of you know by now that I am in the middle of making lifestyle changes in my diet.   Which I am sure you know Changing things that you love don’t always come so easy. My biggest Issue with my diet has always been the sweets and the drinks! The sad part is I do well on everything else, but I have a big sweet tooth. I know that refined sugar isn’t good for me or my family.
Recently I have switched to using Splenda in my tea and other drinks. The other week I was invited by Mom Central on behalf of Splenda to test out spledna, which I already use but this was for cooking! I received a box of Splenda along with the Splenda Tastebook packed full of recipes that substitute sugar with Splenda.
I was amazed at how many great recipes were in the tastebook.  I have only tried one so far but I know we will be trying a lot more soon.  The kids always want Popsicles and also love to make things, so I let them make KOOL-AID® INVISIBLE Kool Pops. We loved them! Not only was it sugar free it’s also money saving! We go through a lot of Popsicles and now since it’s getting hot this recipe came at the perfect time!
Here is the recipe. Make sure you put it to the test! We are going to change it up with different flavors next time!
