The other day I made a smoothie for breakfast and I had a bunch of smoothie left over in the blender...I came up with the idea to make yogurt popsicles, so I made another batch and filled 8 popsicle molds. This has been great for us. Brian is quite the ice cream man...if I buy ice cream it's gone in a matter of a couple of days. The same goes for ice cream bars. He loves these and I feel good about him eating them. There is nothing unhealthy in them. Here's how I made the smoothie...of course feel free to change up any of the ingredients I put in. I just used what I had a home.
- 6 oz container of organic fruit yogurt (I use organic b/c most yogurts have high fructose corn syrup in them, but organic does not)
- 5.3 oz of plain greek yogurt...I like Oikos or Fage or vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt is much thicker than regular yogurt. If you can't find greek yogurt then you can easily make something similar. Line a strainer with a coffee filter. Pour the yogurt in the filter and place a bowl under the strainer. Place in the refrigerator and let the yogurt drain the extra liquid over night. voila...you have made your own greek yogurt! If you use vanilla it makes a great, thick fruit dip.)
- 2 cups of frozen berries (I used a berry blend this time)
- 1 cup orange juice (or any juice you have)
- 1/2 cup milk
Blend all ingredients together in blender. Pour into popsicle molds. Freeze for a few hours. Enjoy!
