Yogurt and fruit popsicles

Natural juice iced pops are great and refreshing but sometimes kids need something more.

1 1⁄2 c fruit (clean, peeled and chopped)
1⁄2 c honey (or to taste)

Instructions

Blend yogurt, chopped fruit and honey until smooth.

Pour into popsicle molds or paper cups.

Insert popsicle sticks.

Freeze for about 2 hours, or until solid.

Peel away paper cup or remove from mold.

Notes

Bananas or blueberries are great on their own. Puree and strain strawberries and raspberries to remove seeds. You can also use canned fruit or fruit compote.

Use flavored yogurts to add interest. Apart from the obvious blueberry yogurt with blueberries or rapsberry yogurt and raspberries, try pineapple or coconut yogurs with fresh or canned pineapple, lemon yogurt with canned madarin segments.

Older children can use the blender, young ones can help pouring the yougurt-fruit blend into the cups and insert the popsicle sticks.

To remove popsicles form the molds, fill a bowl with lukewarm water. Partially submerge - don't let water get into the frozen yogurt - the popsicle into the water for a couple of minutes. The ice in contact with the mold will melt and the popsicle should slide out easily.
