My girls love popsicles but I really hate the thought of giving them all that sugar. For me, popsicles, unless they are the all-natural fruit type, are nothing more than frozen Kool-Aid; red dye and sugar. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
We can make our own, beat the heat and it only takes about 5 minutes prep time. You’ll need to freeze the popsicles for about 8 hours, so I suggest making a batch up the previous night after the kids have gone to bed or early in the morning before heading off for an activity filled day.
Strawberry Yogurt Pops
Ingredients
- 1-½ cups of strawberries
- 1 cup of orange juice
- 1 cup of vanilla or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon of almond extract
- 2 tablespoons of honey
Directions
In a blender, combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth. Poor into pop molds, insert sticks and freeze. Freeze for 8 hours. Enjoy.
*For a variation you can add one whole banana to the mix for strawberry and banana pops.
