After reviewing LifeIce bite-sized flavored ice cubes I promised my readers that I would be able to offer a less expensive, home made alternative with just as much nutritional value as LifeIce. Chris and I experimented with items that we had in our freezer and pantry and came up with a delicious recipe that is guaranteed to please everyone in your family. This nutritious treat is a wonderful light snack for a hot day or to accompany your kids favorite after-school snack.
