  Popsicle Molds!

  

  

  

  Popsicles are so easy to make and taste even better because they're homemade!

  Recipes we love:

  Blueberry Yogurt Pops

  1 cup of blueberry juice cocktail

  1 cup of blueberries (cleaned and rinsed)

  6 oz. of vanilla yogurt

  Combine all ingredients in a blender.  Cover, blend on high speed 15 to 20 seconds or until smooth.  Pour into 8 molds (2.5 to 3 oz. each).  Insert sticks and freeze!  (Aprox 2 hours)  To serve dip outside of molds in warm water to loosen. 

  We've also tried the Blueberry Yogurt Pops using other berries and other juices.  The combinations are endless!  

  Our Other Blueberry Pop

  1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

  1 cup water

  1/2 cup orange juice

  3 tbsp sugar

  1 cup vanilla yogurt

  Simmer blueberries, water, juice, and sugar for 10 minutes.  Let the mixture cool for 20 minutes, then blend in a food processor until smooth.  Stir in yogurt.  Pour the mixture into molds and freeze.  Makes 8 (3 oz) pops.

  Chocolate Pudding Pop

  1 package of instant chocolate pudding

  2 cups milk

  1/2 cup cream

  1/2 cup sugar

  With a wire whisk, blend together pudding, milk, cream, and sugar.  Pour the mixture into popsicle molds.  Freeze and eat.
