How to make Zobo Orange Popsicle

Zobo Orange Popsicle

I feel like some day out on a beach with a nice Zobo Orange Popsicle in my hand. One of the attractions about the beach for me is first people watching. And the pedicure I get from digging my feet in the sand. But come to think of it I have not gone to a beach in ages in Nigeria but that has to do with the hygiene level. Well I guess I the motivation for the Zobo Orange Popsicle is the current heat I am experiencing now in Canada as I am holidaying here at the moment. I tell my self that if it is this hot in summer then winter will be equally cold.

Whilst in Canada I have attended a few food festivals and I am learning a few things about Canadian foods. I think the food is less complex in flavors compared to Nigerian food. Generally a lot of cheese is used in cooking. I am sharing some of my pictures at these food fair.

So back to my Zobo Orange Popsicle,a nutritious treat we can have without any guilt. Whilst I was sitting on a bench on a hot day in a park enjoying my Popsicle I felt like a child but I knew how much I was packing nutrition in my body.  I am sharing this treat with you and so you and your kids can be momentary kids again.

Next time the heat comes in your region and you are thinking of something good that will cool you down then grab a Zobo Orange Popsicle.
