Ice Pop Pouch, 36-Pack, Clear

I really like these. I read through all the comments and honestly I think people expect perfection which no product is going to supply. But these work well, are not that hard to fill with liquid - even with a measuring cup that has a little spout - and hold up pretty well during use. It does take a little effort to push the frozen pops up for eating so for younger children you might need to cut the top off in which case just don't think of them as reusable but rather as disposable. I'll bet you buy ziploc bags all the time and don't concern yourself with reusing THEM. This is a convenience item albeit a terrific one. I plan to reorder and keep some unused ones on hand to give out so other people can try them. I don't have kids. I just bought them because I like popsicles myself. This lets me control the calorie content and the quality of ingredients. I recommend getting the neoprene sleeves too otherwise you will have cold hands !I would like to share a tasty filling idea for those who are interested. I tried mixing coconut water plus lime or orange juice, a tiny amount of stevia and about 1/2 of a small container of Dannon Activia vanilla yogurt - just enough to turn the liquid cloudy. (I was using up leftovers). It made a very tasty pop - the orange was reminiscent of the dreamscicles we used to eat as a kid and the vanilla flavor was just enough. The lime was also great. Both are tremendously refreshing when you come in from the heat. And if I am not mistaken I think coconut water is a healthful way to replenish electrolytes.

Can I just say how much I love these? I was looking for a unique cocktail offering for a bachelorette party this weekend. Came across a Facebook ad and bought them right away. Fingers crossed that they would work the way the ad claimed. Sure enough, my adult freezies turned out picture perfect. I just used a turkey baster to blow air into each first, then a regular kitchen funnel to fill just to the fill line. I was skeptical that the zip closures wouldn't leak as I filled each with pureed fruit (and booze) and the fruit might get stuck in the zipper. Not at all. I did learn that I needed to stack them upright in a container to let any foam settle, then finish filling. I laid them on their sides in a cake pan, just in case they leaked, last night. This morning I was pleasantly surprised that they were sealed nicely, frozen as much as they can be with alcohol, and will be a fun, boozy, beachside refreshment for my gal pals this weekend!! I made margarita, strawberry daiquiri and blue colada flavors. Reading these reviews, I definitely want to order more pouches and fill with other (maybe alcohol-free) ingredients for a quick snack.

These are an excellent way to eat healthy and snack at the same time. I don't like the time-consuming efforts of juicing, so I take my fruit and pulverize it with NutriBullet. I add enough water to make it slushy, and pour it into the zipzicles through a funnel. They say that as fruit freezes it loses some of its sweetness, but I found it was still sweet enough to eat. I started with the strawberry and banana. Pineapple and banana was actually quite delicious. There are so many variables to putting healthier food into your body and into your child's body at school by doing this. They open easily, they seal very well and you can either wash them out and use them again or throw them away. To get your frozen food out of it, run it under cold water for about two seconds to loosen.As an update, I have used these for quite a while now and the plastic edges cut the inside of my mouth on each side. I run it under water for just a few seconds then I squeeze it out into a bowl and eat it that way. It took weeks for these cuts inside on the corner of my mouth to fully heal.

I was looking for a way to recreate Go-Gurt pops for my six-year-old's school lunches as close to the "real thing" as possible. I found ZipZicles while researching online and figured for the price, it was certainly worth a shot.I had very little problem filling these up with fruit-flavored yogurt. I puréed the fruit in my Magic Bullet first, to prevent any fruit chunks (which I imagine would be difficult for kids to suck out of these) and after mixing with homemade vanilla yogurt, I carefully filled each ZipZicle to just below the fill line. Before filling, I blew air into each ZipZicle to open it up for easier filling, which definitely helped - I forgot to blow into one before filling and it took me twice as long, and resulted in a bigger mess. I used a small kitchen funnel, which kept things neat and made it much easier to control how much went into each ZipZicle. I will say, though, that I've spent a lot of time filling Squooshi pouches and other squeeze-type food containers, so if you're having trouble with ZipZicles, it should get easier and quicker with practice!After filling, I rinsed off any excess yogurt and sealed them, then squished them firmly to ensure the seal wouldn't explode - so far, no problems. I store them in the fridge in an old GoGurt box I'd saved from before, which keeps them neatly stored and easy for little hands to reach.Comparative to GoGurt brand tubes, which only hold 2.25 ounces of whatever concoction Yoplait is calling yogurt these days, these held between 2.6-2.8 ounces each. They can be a little tricky for small fingers to open; I spent a few minutes showing my son and having him "practice" before I packed one in his school lunch. He was super excited to have his own homemade "GoGurts" and apparently told his entire class about it, and later told me that his "GoGurts" tasted way better than the store-bought ones. Score! :)I've also used these to store pizza sauce and dressing in our homemade "Lunchables" and I plan to make some freezer pops this week. My husband even stole a few to ice some cupcakes this past weekend and raved that ZipZicles were easier and offered more control over his decorating than our $50+ icing bag and tip set! I can definitely see a LOT of uses for ZipZicles.The one downside is, they aren't reusable or dishwasher-safe. For some reason, I had thought they were reusable before ordering, but once they arrived, I realized they wouldn't last beyond maybe two or three uses. I sacrificed one to test in the top rack of the dishwasher and as I expected, it didn't hold up. So if you plan to use these all year long, invest in a few packages! We probably won't be purchasing anymore, because we're fans of reducing our waste whenever possible, so I'm currently looking for a reusable alternative. If ZipZicle could produce something very similar, but reusable, I would definitely be all over it!
