Instead of serving ice cream or sugary Popsicles this summer, why not indulge with this homemade, healthy, low cost frozen yogurt treat with fresh fruit!! They are simple to make and oh, so good, even a domestically challenged diva can make them in a snap!!
Here’s what you will need:
1 cup yogurt, any flavor and any combination of fresh fruit that tickles your pallet:
Example: 1 banana, 6 to 10 strawberries, 12/cup of crushed pineapple
Example: 1 banana, ½ cup of blue berries, 6 to 10 strawberries
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 to 6 3 oz paper cups, Popsicles molds, or any small container that can be put in the freezer
Plastic wrap or aluminum foil
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend for 1 minute. If you want a smoother consistence, blend longer. When you are happy with the consistence, pour mixture in to the molds until they are two thirds full, cover with plastic wrap, stab the mixture with a Popsicle stick and freeze
for approximately 6 hours and enjoy!!

Mmmmmm, sounds good. In the past, I have always just made homemade popsicles with koolaid. They just tasted like store popsicles though. What you're talking about saounds alot like the strawberry popsicles that you can buy that have chunks of real strawberries and stuff in them. I will definately try this sometime. :-)
oh yes, this sounds delicious! I am always willing to try something not so sugary for my 5 year old grandson. But I will like this. Thank you!
Another thirst quenching drink, ice tea. I make it a gallon at a time [lasts ONE day for 3 of us!]
the BEST way -
-put a gallon of water in a GLASS jar/jug [glass is a must]
-3 family size lipton teabags [or 9 reg size]
- put lid on and set in the sun for 1 hour [sun is NOT an absolute]
- take bags out and add 3/4 cp sugar [some like more sugar]
- pour over ice anytime you want a refreshing drink
LOVE IT - and more than half the sugar than koolaide
Guess what? I just made this yesterday! It is WAY better with real fruit! Great tip. Of course they are all gone by now, but they were soooooo good.
Henry, I'm glad you like them!!
