Homemade Popsicles



The best way to beat the heat is getting creative with popsicles. I wanted to make my own, without all of the crazy amounts of sugar, and something I wouldn't feel bad about eating one..or two..or six.

Here's the recipe:

6-8 Ripe Strawberries
3 Kiwis
1 Handfull of blueberries
1 cup of water
1/2 sugar
2/3 cup of Greek Yogurt

1. In a saucepan, mix the water and sugar together over a low heat and allow the sugar to melt into the water and create a thin syrup. (4-5 mins)
2. As the sugar/water mixture is cooking, prepare the fruit by washing, cutting the tops off the strawberries, and peeling the kiwi's.
3. In a blender, place the water mixture, fruit, and greek yogurt. If you have a liquify button, use that one, if not, just blend until its thin.
4. If you dont have popsicle containers, I found mine at Marshalls! Pour the mixture into the containers (leaving 1/2 inch from the top) and toss a few blueberries in each container then place in the freezer! It usually takes 5-6 hours to properly freeze!

When you are ready to try one, either lay it out on the counter for 4-5 minutes or run the container under hot water for 30 seconds, and then enjoy!
