Nope. They enjoy the yummy healthy popsicles. And they are happy. All is good.

Vegan Popsicles Recipe
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup soft silken tofu
- 1 1/3 cups fresh orange juice
- 2 Tbs sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- popsicle sticks
Put all of the ingredients in a blender and puree until the sugar is dissolved. You can use paper cups for popsicle molds or any freezer pop molds you have handy.
Place popsicle molds in the freezer for about an hour.
Insert a wooden popsicle stick into each cup.
If the sticks do not stand straight up, take them back out and let the mix freeze for another 10-15 minutes, and then try again.
Once the popsicle sticks are in place, continue freezing the popsicles until they are completely frozen.
To loosen the mold, run the cup under cool water for a second or two.
