Pudding Pop Milkshake

Fans of Pudding Pops, rejoice!  I’m sharing a recipe for Pudding Pop Milkshakes that is every bit as good as the original popsicles.  No waiting on freezing — just mix these up and enjoy!

Can we talk about Pudding Pops for a minute?

They were like…one of the highlights of my childhood.  Granted, they were just frozen pudding, but still.  When I was in the first grade, my friend Copycat Julie was always put on a diet by her parents, so we would sneak to her cellar and eat piles of Pudding Pops from the freezer they kept down there.

Does it get better than piles of contraband Pudding Pops?  No, friends.  No it does not.

I don’t understand why the Jell-O people stopped making them.  Everyone loves them.  How hard is it to freeze some factory manufactured pudding and sell it?  Come on, Jell-O people, do you see what you’ve done?  A whole generation of children who have no appreciation for Pudding Pops, that’s what.

How do I live in a world where you can buy green smoothies and kale chips, but Pudding Pops are nowhere to be found?  Talk about injustice.  Everyone is all blah blah Obama Administration, blah blah Constitutional rights, blah blah healthcare, and I’m like…seriously, people?  All that is wrong with the world is apparent by the abundance of kale and lack of Pudding Pops in my local Walmart.

Why do we make things so complicated?

Sometimes when I complain about Pudding Pops (yes, this is a thing that happens on the regular), people always remind me that I can make my own.  Like that’s the same.  Sometimes, I just want to reach into a box and grab something that someone else made.  And by sometimes, I mean most of the time.

I’m saving my energy for more important things, like kissing my babies and picking out all the grape Skittles and complaining about things.  So?

Since Pudding Pops are OBVIOUSLY not happening anytime soon, I decided to make a Pudding Pop milkshake.  All the fun and flavor of a Pudding Pop, but you can drink it and also, you don’t have to wait for it to freeze.

Life. Changing.  That’s what these are.  Try one or seven.  No regrets!!
