It’s summertime!!!! This means hot days, longer evenings, lots of pool time and hungry kids. During summer, my kids are constantly wanting to eat. And especially when we go spend time at the pool, they are so hungry. I guess all that swimming builds up an appetite. So I made these popsicles for them to have as a nice treat for when we get home from the pool.
The verdict on these treats? My kids love them! And I will never buy popsicles from the store ever again. They are just too easy to make at home. And the combinations are endless. This is only my second popsicle making attempt, with my first attempt being an epic fail. (The stick came out! So popsicles they were no longer.) But I know I will attempt many more popsicle concoctions this summer.
Mixed Berry Popsicles (makes approximately 4 popsicles, depending on the size of your mold)
- 1 cup mixed berry 100% fruit juice
- 1/4 c. vanilla yogurt
- handful of blueberries
Add juice and yogurt to a measuring cup. Whisk until yogurt is completely blended into the juice. Add a few blueberries to each mold and then pour the yogurt/juice to the fill line. Snap the popsicle sticks/tops into the molds and place in your freezer. I make these in the morning and by mid afternoon, they are totally frozen. When ready to eat, run the molds under lukewarm water for approximately 1 minute to loosen. Then pull out of the mold and eat!
By the way, these popsicles are super healthy. But, shhhh….. don’t let the kids in on that little secret.
Can’t wait to try! I love coming up with summer popsicle recipes. So fun!
Yes, they are totally fun to make and eat. I’m sure your kiddos will love this recipe!!
