RECIPE FOR HEALTHY POPSICLES
Looking for a refreshing treat that’s actually good for you? Check out this simple and delicious recipe for healthy popsicles – your new summer staple! And the best part is that they're kid approved!
Servings 8 Popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh or Frozen Fruit e.g., strawberries, blueberries, mango, or a mix
- 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 2-3 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup optional, depending on the sweetness of the fruit
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract optional
- ¼ cup Water or Juice of Choice if needed for blending
Instructions
- If using fresh fruit, wash and chop it into small pieces. If using frozen fruit, you can use it directly.
- In a blender, add the fruit, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract (if using). Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water or juice to help with blending. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or maple syrup.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups and insert popsicle sticks or small spoons as handles.
- Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid. To release the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds. Enjoy!
