Everyone LOVES Popsicles! But unfortunately store bought pops and ice-creams are loaded with refined sugar, dyes, preservatives and not-so-fresh fruit-like-substances. Some of them even "May Contain" wheat, soy and nuts.
THE best way to avoid all that, and as per MFRF's motto - is to make it yourself! And, it's totally easy.
|
Start with your favorite fruit - we used about 1/2 cup each Blueberries, strawberries and Raspberries. |
|
We also used organic, vanilla yogurt. |
|
Because berries - in particular - are less watery, we added 1/2 cup of water. This also helps solidify the freezing process! |
|
Should be blended well, so it's like berry porrage ;)
|
|
If you or your kids find it too tart - add some honey, or berry sugar. Try to stay away from refined sugar. Also, remember the yogurt is sweet. |
|
We used 2 types of POP molds ... |
|
One set from the store, the other were Tupperware cups! We used juice box straws for the cup molds. |
|
Pour in your puree, top with yogurt. Fruit does not expand the same way water does, so fill 'er up! |
|
We used kiwi's as a a straw stabilizer for the cups. |
|
In roughly 3-4 hours you have THESE BEAUTIES! |
