Hi there,

Can anyone tell me where I can find sugar free popsicles in mississauga,  Ontario Canada please? 

BTW. I'm new and do not know how to open posts that have responded to mine. Can someone help me with that too please.

Thank you, 

Jen

Here are places I have seen sf popsicles:  Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Dollar Tree, and local grocery stores.  I have never tried making my own. I liked popsicles counted toward the required 64 ounces of liquid per day.

Thanks for your reply Selhard. We've  checked at Walmart here in Canada,  however,  they don't sell it here. ?.

If you continue to have problems finding them, you can always get some Popsicle molds and make your own using crystal light. 

Mix the CL and pour into the molds to freeze. I've done that from time to time when bored with the regular Popsicle flavors. 

Good luck!

She should research that advice.  I was going to make popsicles using CL but found out the popsicles would freeze as hard as a rock.  Researching how to make popsicles, I found that by adding some sugar free jello to the water the end result would be closer to the consistency of a popsicle as we know it.

You are correct they do set up harder, but the pleasure for me after surgery was the flavored ice that lasted a lot longer than a popsicle and contained no calories.  

Popsicles have very little calories and most times left me craving more because the syrupy flavoring. I found the CL worked well for me to keep me hydrated and they lasted a lot longer than a Popsicle.  

Everyone is different and just has to find what works best for them!

Thank you for your pay. That is very helpful. I will also try adding the sugar free jello!

Do a search of popsicle recipes to find out how much sf jello to add.

I tried making them - you are totally - they freeze hard as a rock and just melt down your arm. Threw the molds out.  If this were my only option, maybe I would have experimented with them more.
