Record breaking temperatures, no rain, high humidity.....it's hot, hot, hot!! My poor little garden is suffering. But we are not! What is one of the best things to have when you are hot?! An ice cold beer! But I meant for the kids....and that is POPSICLES! However, some that you find in the grocery store are LOADED with sugar. An easy alternative - make your own. The molds can be found pretty much everywhere (Dollar Tree, Wal Mart, Target) and are super cheap.
You can fill them with anything, but I decided to make the Blueberry Smoothie (from earlier post) and make yogurt popsicles!! I used the same basic ingredients (Greek yogurt, frozen blueberries) but I added some strawberries and a banana, a little V-8 Fusion Strawberry Banana juice and just a little milk. I blended it all up and poured it into my molds. It didn't take long for them to freeze, and other than being a little annoying trying to get out of the molds - they were yummy and refreshing! My 2 yr old loves them, and I feel good about serving them. The kids feel like they are getting a treat, and I feel like they are getting something wholesome, with the yogurt and fruit!
