Ice Pops
You don't have to wait for hot weather to enjoy a refreshing ice pop. Make your own version using fresh fruit and yogurt. It's easy, and you control what goes in them.
This recipe is a tropical blend of banana, pineapple, and strawberry. But use anything you like such as blueberries, peaches, raspberries, mangoes, etc.
Tropical Fruit Ice Pops (Makes 8 pops)
1 banana, cut into pieces
1 cup crushed pineapple in its own juice, drained
1 pint strawberries, halved
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup honey
Directions: Combine banana, pineapple, strawberries, yogurt and honey in a blender or food processor. Whirl until smooth.
Fill 6-ounce paper drinking cups or plastic juice-pop holders with this mixture. Place a wooden stick in each. Freeze.
That's it! Enjoy your own homemade Ice Pops!
Bananas and pineapples take a long time to freeze. How long before you can eat them? This recipe sounds really healthy. My "I" blog: http://myheartblogstoyou.blogspot.com/2011/04/idiots-in-attic-day-9-from-a-z.html
ReplyDeleteI make a bunch of varieties of ice pops. They're great for kids, but I like them too--they cure the sweet tooth without being unhealthy. :O)

Mmmm, they sound delish. We make smoothies a lot but I've never tried ice pops. Thanks for the suggestion.

Oooh, these sound great! I've made smoothies before, but never thought to freeze into ice pops.
