Tube popsicles are a summer staple but they aren't particularly healthy. If you want the fun of a tube popsicle with less dye and sugar, you can make your own healthy version with a vacuum sealer.

Home and culinary blog The Kitchn has been experimenting with making homemade tube popsicles using a vacuum sealer. The results are impressive and ripe as a platform to create healthier—and tastier!—frozen fruit tube popsicles. If you can purée it, you should be able to make it into a popsicle.

You'll need a vacuum sealer, scissors, straws, and of course the vacuum seal bags. While the instructions look lengthy they assure us that the process is actually quite short, although they recommend having a friend on hand to make filling the tubes easier. Visit the link below to check out the entire process from start to finish. Have a great idea for a popsicle mix or another neat hack for keeping cool? Let's hear about it in the comments.
