Has anyone used one of these? Do you like it? What sort of pops do you make?
My mom just picked one up for DS since he is not eating and the pedi wanted us to try popsicles. Of course there weren't any that meet his restrictions off the shelf so I have our Zoku freezing and will test it out tomorrow!!

I have used one quite a bit and I like it. It does take about ten minutes which pass by painfully slowly for preschoolers, and it was hard to make with them-- it worked best when I surprised them with it. Don't over fill the mold and if you do, quickly slurp the excess out with a straw or you will never get the popsicle out-- you have to thaw the whole thing and start over.
We mostly did varieties of juice and yogurt, it has been awhile so I can't remember the favorites but I know we loved layering them or doing the filled ones.
Have fun with it!

@Cole: Thanks for the tips!! Oh that sounds like fun! She picked up the character kit or whatever it is called for when he is a little older (it was on clearance). I think I am going to try a banana blueberry pop for him. He hasn't had anything like that yet, so this should be interesting!

I have wanted to try one of the kits, they have some cute accessories! I don't think I had eaten a popsicle since I was a kid, I was surprised that I really enjoyed them. If you make smoothies try to remember to make a pop out of a bit of it too, they freeze nicely and you don't have to eat it right away.

My mom has one and they work great! The kids love it. So far she has only done juice.

We used it today to make a banana blueberry pop. Mixed banana and blueberries in the vitamix and poured it right in there! Worked great, but LO still didn't want to eat it.

I think they are so cool. Being pregnant during the hottest part of the summer, I might insist that DH get me one. Plus...then I guess my kid could use it
