Creamsicle Drink

Last week when our temperatures were near and over 100 for nine or ten days straight, we needed something to beat the heat. I remembered that we had some Tang and I wondered if I could recreate the drink, and this beverage was born! My kiddos loved it!

    I have never heard of creamsicles – they look good though.
    I got to this via Mealtime Monday on Couponing and Cooking. I have linked in spicy mince lettuce cups. Enjoy.

      Creamsicles are fruit and vanilla flavored popsicles – they are quite popular here in the States!
