Eat Fit Not Fat-Firecracker Ice Pops

Ok, so it was way to hot to fire up the oven/stove this week. So I went the dessert route again. In honor of 4th of July weekend I decided to craft up some red, white and blue healthy ice pops. I replaced ice cream/pudding  and sugar with Greek yogurt, fresh berries and honey.  This dessert was super easy to make and was so very refreshing on a 95 degree day.

Setting Up

Makes 8 popsicles

1 cup non-fat Greek Yogurt

2 tbsp honey

1 pint blueberries

1/2 lb. strawberries, hulled

popsicle holders (I picked mine up at Target for approx.  $2)

1) Hull ( remove green ends) from strawberries. Set aside.

                  

2) In a bowl, stir to combine yogurt and honey. Set aside.

                

3) Place blueberries in food processor or blender. Process on high until a smooth puree forms ( about 30 sec-1min) Set aside in separate bowl. Repeat process with strawberries.

              

4) Create an assembly line of popsicle holders, berries and yogurt.

               

5) Place 2 spoonfuls of yogurt/honey mixture into popsicle holders.

               

6)Spoon 2 spoonfuls of blueberry puree on top of yogurt.

             

7) Spoon 2 spoonfuls of strawberry puree on top of blueberry puree.

                      

8) Use knife or popsicle stick to swirl 3 colors together. Place popsicle sticks into mixture.

9) Freeze for 3-4 hours. Run warm water briefly over popsicle holder when removing by pulling gently on the stick.

Serve on a hot summer day for peak enjoyment and smiles 🙂
