Summer Pops



In search of a yummy Popsicle without any disgusting artificial ingredients, chemicals, and unnecessary preservatives for my 2 year old to eat this summer, I found nothing... So, what to do? Make my own of course!
We are past the 4th of July but here are my delicious, healthy, red, white, and blue Popsicles! We can continue the patriotism right?! Plus it's strawberry season here in Michigan so let's eat them while we can! 


Containers: Target

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Fresh strawberries
1/2 cup Fresh Blueberries 
6oz container Greek Yogurt 
1-2 tps. Agave/honey/maple syrup

Blend each fruit separate from one another in a blender or food processor with 1-2 teaspoons of a sweetner of your choice until a smooth consistency. Either agave, honey, OR maple syrup. Sweeten to your liking. 
Next mix in a bowl the yogurt and sweetner.
Start to layer your smoothly blended ingredients into your Popsicle holder.
I started with red. Pour red into the tip of each container about a 3rd full. Next layer the yogurt, lastly layer the blended blueberries. Make sure there are no air pockets between layers so the pop can set up.
Place in the freezer for several hours until set.
When ready, take one 1 pop, one by one, run a little warm water over the outside of the container and wiggle the pop out. Enjoy!! Healthy, delicious, and toddler approved! :-)
