Healthy Popsicles, now way!


Found this delicious popsicle recipe thanks to a friend. They're 100% natural and totally a crowd pleaser. Follow the recipe below or replace any of the fruit with your own personal favorite (or your kids if you plan on sharing)! (Oh, original recipe found here, Weelicious)

Ingredients;

1 1/2 Cups Frozen or Fresh Blueberries, (defrosted if necessary)

5 Tbsp Agave, divided (you really CAN find this just about anywhere, it's usually by the honey near the spice aisle, use it, it's good!)

1 Cup Plain Yogurt

1/4 Cup Milk

1 1/2 Cups Frozen or Fresh Strawberries, (defrosted if necessary)

1 Tbsp Lemon Juice

Instructions;

1. Place defrosted blueberries, 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice and 2 tbsp agave in a blender and puree until smooth.

2. Pour the blueberry puree a 1/3 way up each popsicle mold (I used plastic dixie cups, the 3 oz. side) and freeze for 30-45 minutes.

3. Combine yogurt, milk, and 1 tbsp of agave in a bowl and whisk until smooth.

4. Put the sticks in at this point if you are not using a popsicle mold. Pour yogurt mixture 2/3 way up the popsicle molds on top of the blueberry mixture, and freeze for another 30-45 minutes.

5. Place defrosted strawberries, 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice and 2 tbsp agave in a blender and blend until smooth.

6. Finish the popsicles by pouring the strawberry puree over the yogurt, freeze for at least another 2 hours.

7. To serve if using dixie cups, dip each cup in hot water to help ease pulling off the cup.


Enjoy!!

P.S. I also tried 1 cup of strawberries, 1 cup peaches and 1 cup of yogurt, 4 T. agave, 1 T. lemon juice all blended together and frozen, it was delicious!!
